I was more speaking about how left comes off by and large, impressions and tendencies, when we look from above.
Me, personally, hathes no issue with the left the moment private property and enterprise stops being evil. On the other hand, "my hero" :) Nicolas Sarkozy, said a very important thing once: the Left should not be allowed as the only defence of the poor, the vulnerable, the different. Granted, this is because in France things are much more polarised and the left much more to the left than elsewhere, and it had become impossible to allow the left occupy the place of the angel waging war on the vicious capitalists. But it's a sign of entering traditional left domain, just like your dear Bliar entered left one, and with as much success. That's the way that leads to pragmatism. Is that going to lead to an unideological democracy? Are lack of ideology and pragmatism a sign of a-politicalness? Does this mean democracy is in danger? Those are the questions, rather than about more or less humane variants of communism. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
But you don't look from above. You look through the lens of the media you consume, and the principles and opinions that you already hold. That's an important point that you keep refusing to acknowledge.
