Who is the Leader on the Left? (REVISED)

Common Questions About Communism

I’m writing a series of books that decode the language and tactics of the far left, based on my deep dives into their content and culture—things you won't find anywhere else.

When you join the Red Menace Collective, you get more than just a book. You’ll gain insider access to groundbreaking content as it’s being created—long before it hits the shelves.

As I’m working on finishing the book, I’m going back and revising some of my earlier chapters to make sure everything aligns with the rest of the text. This is pretty common when I’m writing books and is designed to make sure everything flows together and that all the topics are covered as they should be.

This is revisiting one of the chapters in the book explaining the leadership model on the left. You can read the original here to see how things have changed.

This chapter actually got expanded significantly to more than double the initial word count.

Who is the Leader on the Left?

Common Questions About Communism

Conservatives think hierarchically. There is a chain of command with a clear leader at the top, and everyone knows who they report to.

That's one of the reasons you commonly hear cries of "SOROS!!!!" as the source of every crazy thing the left - the right assumes he is the source of all of the crazy things the left does in the world.

The problem is that it’s not George Soros or his son Alex who are leading the real far left. Sure, they fund progressive politicians and groups, but as you've previously learned in this book, progressives are not socialists or communists.

When I explain this to people on the right who often don't want to hear it, I often receive the same conservative retort: “Oh yeah? Then who’s the leader on the left?” This question reflects a misunderstanding of how the left operates, and my answer rarely satisfies them.

But after watching thousands of hours of woke left and socialist training videos, I know my answer is correct, whether they like it or not. If you aren’t honest about who you’re fighting, you can never defeat the enemy.

There is no leader on the left. That’s simply how the left operates.

There's no one leader.

There are leaders—hundreds, if not thousands—and, just like a cog in the machine, they can be swapped out and replaced at any time.
