History and the Etymology and the Provenance of words, and in this case the Left's meanings today, is outlined in my post #20 above.They have been extremely repressive from the Reign of Terror in France to Purges in USSR to Cultural Revolution in China to Cancel Culture in Modern West.
The Reign of Terror and the Purges' in Russia and China are different too: The former was a Revolution by the people - as was our revolution from England - and the latter two were examples of putting down the revolutions in 1848.
In short, the left is for the people, and the right puts the state above the people.
