Ahh, that's right - your "left radical" definition required destruction on the part of the radical.

It's a sort of reverse No True Scotsman that anyone else cannot be a left radical.

'Course, that's not what 'radical' means, but it's what you've been pushing.

You have yet to demonstrate the it's meaningful to describe Populist-supporting Colorado of the 1890s as a 'very very non leftist place'. I can't help but conclude that you continue to "[throw] in some insults as insurance /r/iamverysmart style hoping no one catches the switch."

Your humanities training left you with a curious inability to explain yourself. All you do is castigate and laugh, Nelson-style.
