The best Leftist arguments back in the day were very much metaphysic nonsense. Basically, everything came down to John Lennon's "Imagine".

Which is also why I try to caution people around here from falling into the same trap of "Lefties love it, must be woke trash!" Because it makes you just as easily manipulated and grifted, and removes your ability to think about an issue because you've already reflexively made up your mind.

That's very true. Both woke and anti-woke are excellent ways to manipulate people emotionally. Anti-Communism, for example, has been repeatedly used by the Left to support Democratic Socialism. That's actually where the 3 Arrows comes from.

Even Mao once declared himself to be a "Rightist" and condemned the "Left Wing Adventurism" that had """"led to the famines"""". You know... his policies.
