    Because it’s some wildly different political movements with wildly different goals and ideals?

    If you argue that all left movements throught time and space are identical, just because they are using the same rough label, then you are either argueing in bad faith or out of severe ignorance.

      No. Elsewhere in this thread I argue that there are a lot of political dimension each with a spectrum of positions.

      So if someone makes a massive generalisation and says “the left” don’t worship their political leaders, I feel it important to illustrate, with examples ,why that assumption is likely incorrect.

        Again, we were talking about a very specific left. And you have problems with understanding things like context.

          I believe that the general comment about the very specific left is false, and I gave examples why I think it is false.

          I haven’t yet heard any argument (never mind a good one) for why the statement that “the American left will never worship a politican” is true.

              I am quite happy to hear why I’m wrong. Maybe the American left in 2025 are special in some way. Somehow different from the rest of history.

              You have the floor…
