He can't even define who the leftists are and even admits it.
> Our discussion of leftism has a serious weakness. It
is still far from clear what we mean by the word “leftist.”
There doesn’t seem to be much we can do about this. To-
day leftism is fragmented into a whole spectrum of activist
movements ...
> To the extent that it is defined at all, our conception of leftism is defined
by the discussion of it that we have given in this article,
and we can only advise the reader to use his own judg-
ment in deciding who is a leftist.
So yeah, just pick whoever you want as leftist. Some characteristics of the leftists:
> He tends to be for gun control, for sex education and other psychologically “en-
lightened” educational methods, for social planning, for affirmative action, for multiculturalism. He tends to identify with victims.
Wow, sounds like those leftists are pretty cool, actually intelligent people!
Seriously, I could make fun of this shit all day, but perhaps I'll do something more productive.
