Their ideology is almost completely class-exclusive and tends to confuse misandry for gender equality, becomes mired in jargon.
I think we have a different conception of centre-leftism. I see the radical left & the PoMo left as 'far' but different branches of far.

But it is the political reality. Its the Left that's been screwed up by identity politics and cultural relativity.

Seems more a problem for centrists than the far left. On the far left, identity politics are widely reviled and relativism not even present.

The radical far-left. Identity politics and relativism is the other far-left. The centrists also revile them.

Those who are practicing ID politics and relativism here are not economically left. They are often even center-right, like Hillary.

No. I tend to say 'economic far-left' and 'identitarian far-left.'

Oh, to me you cannot be left if you are not economically left. It only denotes an economic stance, nothing else.

That kind of academic leftism which has been taken on by the identity politics, cultural-relativity left.
