I think this Philosophy of War you mention aligns well with what I believe is the the root driving motivation of the Left: a hatred for existence itself.

This idea began to coalesce for me after hearing a talk by Jordan Peterson:

“They get angry at existence—which is what happened to Cain, as we saw in the Cain and Abel story. And then, the next step is to start taking revenge against existence. That cascades until it’s revenge against—well, I think the best way of thinking about it is revenge against God, for the crime of Being—which is, I think, the deepest sort of hatred that you can entertain.” - Jordan Peterson, “Biblical Series XIII: Jacob’s Ladder”

Of course, I don’t think most Leftists consciously walk around hating everything that exists, but it’s true that everyone has an intuitive moral framework that forms their initial thoughts and beliefs about things (see: Jonathan Haidt), and I think people on the Left have a moral intuition that tells them existence is unfair and filled with suffering, therefore it’s worthy of destruction and thus worthy of waging war against, ideally to recreate it in their image in the end.

People who are motivated primarily by this hatred would think tearing down everything that is true — and therefore worth preserving in our eyes — would actually be a good thing. They would be on the war path against everything real, which pretty much perfectly describes the Left at this point.
