To put it simply, Leftism is wholly defined by your usurpation of another's will, forever. That is not an ideology. There are no principles. There is no consistent value set, nor presupposition. Hence: you can't fight it like one. You can't counter an argument that has no set premise, and who's only conclusion is: "I'm right and you are wrong." Hence, there is no point.
The Left relies on the acquisition of power from a source that already exists because they struggle terribly to do anything to build power from scratch. This is our fundamental advantage, and why genuine Liberalism & Individualism is the only answer to Leftism. All other approaches will fail, and will shatter with concerted pressure by Leftism.
Firstly, you must destroy the mechanisms for central power and authority. Central power & authority is the fuel that Leftism seeks out, perpetually. It will never rest, and will always find a way in, because it will define a way in for itself. No central authority can resist it. Instead, all power and authority must be set against itself, and it must always have it's scope violently limited.
Secondly, you must destroy the insecurity that creates a need for dependency in a central authority. They must take responsibility for themselves, and be able to succeed on their own individual merit, as they see fit. Bio-Leninists must not be allowed to remain bio-Leninist. They must become productive and successful for themselves, and cherish their individual success, responsibility, and gain that they acquired with little help. This denies the central authority's protection racket of the slaves it needs to run it's armies and bureaucracy.
Liberalism addresses the former. Individualism addresses the latter. All other efforts will fail given time.
All other forms of authoritarian structures are able to be subverted and co-opted by concerted effort, or are simply shattered by concerted pressure. When co-opted, the leftists wear the previous structure as a skin suit until their parasitism and vampirism destroys the society. When shattered, the previous institutions are broken and scattered, but their protection rackets have formed their own bio-Leninist failures which will now be exploited for control by the new Leftist regime.
Authoritarianism shatters from pressure, where Liberalism bends. Prescribed social ordering is immediately co-opted, where individualism's decentralized social ordering is impossible to co-opt, to hard to predict, and to quick to adapt. When you add Republicanism to your political mix, you create a massive defense in depth that makes it neigh-on-impossible to properly conquer the society through Leftism.
Use Republicanism to create competing hierarchies of power, on competing levels. Use Liberalism to set the power structures against themselves. Use individualism to disincentive political power as a legitimate means of success. A series of inter-connected meritocratic hierarchies will develop, and the chance for a Leftist take over in a single life-time is pretty much nill.
"But Gizortnik, that sounds like your just advocating for Americanism. You'd argue that under FDR we were a Socialist country, and we've got Leftists running amok!"
By the Founding Father's own accounts, Americanist principles were hard to instantiate. Moral authoritarianism was absolutely normal in American society, and violent honor cultures are why "Fighting Words" exception exists in the law. Moral authoritarianism is a way in for Leftist domination. So were efforts at Racialism, because Racialism has always been a progressive intellectual pursuit. You can't just set one tier of government against itself, you have to set all of them against each other. You have to attack all forms of authoritarianism, because all forms of authoritarianism are going to be co-opted. Protectionism must die.
This is one of the reasons the Catholics are utterly back-asswards on thinking that a Catholic moral ordering institution could protect the west from Social Justice. Bullshit. Catholicism invented the god damned concept. Racial protectionism has lead to the same shit. Social Justice, National Justice, Racial Justice, Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Religious Justice, it's all the same fucking scam. Some arbiter of "justice" declares that that they will bring society into the correct ordering if you just give them the power to do so. No. Kill it with fire immediately. Reject justice entirely.
Authoritarianism must be castrated. Protectionism must die. Justice must be invalidated. Equality must be abolished.
Nothing is just, nothing is equal, stop asking for daddy authority to buy it for you. You build what you want to see, or you fail. We will all, of course, be willing to help you, so long as you don't intend to build it on top of us.
That is how you defeat Leftism, you deny it it's food until it recedes. Then you empower the individual to never go looking for it.
Yeah, and you have to try and break all of those down. Your fundamental question is really: "how do you break centralized corporate power?"
You'll have to fundamentally break down all corporate protections and limited liability organizations. All of them are effectively extensions of government power. You'll have to stop disincentivizing private ownership and private businesses, along with ending disincentives against entrepreneurship and sole proprietorship. In fact, sole proprietorships should be the primary form of business, not corporations.
We live in a Socialist system already. Corporatism is the end result of any practical application of Socialism, and our entire monetary Keynsian monetary system is built on socialist economics. You can't even just burn the cathedral down, you have to literal deconstruct it via disassembly. Tax laws, tax subsidies, court systems, whole arbitration processes, full agencies, entire bureaucratic networks, whole credential systems, etc, etc.
You don't kill Leftist ideology because that's not how Leftism works.
Leftism is based solely on War as a principle.

The internet is currently a practical centrally-controlled monopoly with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Clpudflare, Paypal/Mastercard strangling everyone.
