I find it funny you call that a “leftist notion” when it was the conservative right wing in the US that most recently used that as their narrative for years.

- philwelch 14y agoThe "problem/solution" formulation is almost entirely used by leftists, and I use that term inclusively of all identity politics. The semantically equivalent "with us/against us" formulation has a rather more diverse history. I originally attributed it to the fascists, as I recall it was a favorite of Mussolini, but it appears Lenin was fond of it as well.
