    Leftism is unpopular by definition, especially to the privileged classes. Leftism seeks to upend the status quo, and loss aversion is a problem.

    Not that efforts can’t be made.

        it’s manifested in our reality; only the liberal branch of leftism is permitted (particularly in the united states) while the other branches are openly denigrated by moderates and rightists alike and persecuted by our governments and militias.

      How it’s possible that the political movement that aim for the benefits of the 99% is unpopular by definition?

      Identity politics may be unpopular by definition, but not leftism.
