I would interpret left here in opposition to liberals, which have been much stronger since Clinton came to power. See: Century of the Self.

It's a mistake to conflate leftism and liberalism. The parent poster should have made themselves clearer and avoided cheap shots.

My point stands. The case that history has been forgotten by the left, in particular, is not made by false-mirror nor the article in question. It is implied that the left has some unique amnesia.

For what purpose, we are left to speculate.
