That is what the Left has always been about since the Jacobins…

That isn't the definition of left wing politics though. I fully realize that colloquially people use the word differently. That fact is what bothers me. Most people call liberals and Democrats left wing which is just dumb as hell. Even the TRAs who self identify as left are totally misusing the term. Somehow populism which is left by definition has now colloquially been marked as right wing.
