14. Since when is moving the party closer to the people, 'going left'

I call bullshit on labeling the actions of the grassroots 'moving left'.

We've bought into the notion that actually pushing for the concerns of the majority of citizens as 'shifting left'.

Fighting for the rights of working and middle class people hardly makes one a trotskyite.

Fighting for clean air and water hardly makes one a member of the RCYB

Fighting for a sane foreign policy hardly makes one a spartacist.

Just remember that compared to the assholes in charge now practically EVERYONE is to the left
