Now, some of the most extreme and radical leftists like to think they aren’t, but this is a fallacy because leftism always gravitates to the most extreme and radical variant. “Communism, socialism, call it what you like, there’s very little difference in the two.” Regardless of whether a leftist party starts with a center-left, left-wing, or far-left platform, it always ends up as a far-left party because first, centrism, then social democracy, then democratic socialism, are each stepping stones which push the party leftward. And this is what has happened to the establishment Democratic Party over the decades, it’s become more and more extreme while remaining the elitist party of the establishment. It’s no wonder that people are waking up and turning to the right, because rightist ideologies don’t have that inherent tendency to become more and more extreme.
