If you back , say 15 years, you can, see / hear, lefties say stuff that they are now pushing the direct opposite of.
E.G. Lefties were for the economic interests of the working class. Now they push this stuff, "identity politics."
Say, 15 years ago; Many left-wing parties were more skeptical of globalization and free trade agreements, arguing that they led to a "race to the bottom" in terms of wages and worker protections. They often supported national industries and protectionist policies to safeguard domestic jobs.
You are confusing liberal left with communism Sean. I think you are confused to be honest. At a very simple level there is a left/centrist/right approach to two major categories - economic and cultural/societal. Maybe government is a third but i see it as embedded in the two main categories. My very rudimentary and simplified view of politics today is as per the below...
Economic - tax the corporations, wealthy individuals, redistribute or invest in welfare/social programs v. low tax, light regulation, free market, individual capability/hard work gets rewarded
Societal - diversity first, change = progress, identity/group politics v. tradition matters, cautious of change, institutional value/trust.
You can double click on all of these and it gets more nuanced and complex. But communism had, for example, no real interest in diversity or identity politics - outside of defining a working class. In otherwords, Communism is/was economically left and societally ambiguous compared to leftism today. Reducing the discussion to communism is not helpful and the issue calls for more nuance than you are willing or able to entertain.
If the above categorization is close enough for debate's sake, i would consider myself leaning left economically and leaning right societally.

This seems relevant to the discussion: https://www.thejournal.ie/factcheck-...19365-Sep2025/
While there was an increase in far left violence during Tump term one (and presumably there is this time) it was still far out weighed by far right violence.

this is one of the reports that underpins the above article. Interestingly... if you accept the definitions of far-left and far-right as sound, and at face value that the research approach was valid and not influenced by bias, the numbers behind the numbers are really interesting. In the discussion section, it talks about far-right = high incident count; far-left = higher kills per incident. It also shows that the trend lines, as of 2020, are converging [minus Biden and Trump V2.0 data]. It also claims that incidents for both far-left and far-right were high under Clinton. It also doesnt include 9/11 incident as far-left, despite it appearing to align with the definition of far-left (and it doesnt really attempt to explain its omission).
The discussion section is well worth a read.

For a Country that Champions free speech and has Free speech written into the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, this week is testing it. A talk show host gets suspended for making a comment about Charlie Kirk that the Fat Fuhrer disagreed with and we are one step closer to State Run Tv, ala North Korea.
Its really not that complicated!!!
