Yes. They go Left in another direction.

This is why I wrote about the idea that Leftism can take any path as a philosophy of War, because "Left" is a purely relative direction.

The Left have taken contradictory positions, sometimes at the same time, on literally any issue. Leftists have been Nationalists, Internationalists, and Isolationists. They have opposed and proposed homosexuality. They invented Autarkey as a concept, and have also facilitated international trade. They call for the deaths of landlords while being home-owners that rent. They have endorsed, condemned, and endorsed racialism and antisemitism. They have made the environment their primary concern, and also claimed that tamining nature was necessary for industrial progress. They have claimed the sole right to speak on behalf of women, and now they don't even know what that means.

There is no path that they are denied. They simply keep going "Left" and changing direction, claiming that their direction of movement was the linear and inevitable path of history.

As with literally every other topic, they will simply change direction on a given topic. Whomever has enough force to appear the strongest in that argument, will stay the Left (normally the people who initiated the change). Then everyone else will be classified as a right-wing reactionary. This is what they mean when they say, "every progressive of today, is tomorrow's conservative".

This is already what is happening to the TERFs. They are Leftists by literally any other means, but they are losing ground literally everywhere but the UK to the Queers and Transgenders. As such, the TERFs are being called rightists, including die hard 1970's feminists who praised the SCUM Manifesto. So, as the "Left" adjusts it's direction in objective space, it claims that the other group which didn't move from their position were right-wing reactionaries.

In the end, all that matters to most default Leftists is power. They only want to be on the "winning" side because it is safe to do so. Therefore, all you have to do to gain support of Leftists is to simply win.

We saw this with the George Floyd Riots in 2020. The places that experienced the hardest rioting didn't shift right, they shifted left. Moderates voted Leftist because it appeared that the Left was winning. Honest to God, if Trump had deployed a Marine Battalion to Portland and killed 150 Antifa rioters, he would have lost every state but Oregon. Most moderate Leftists are only responding to power incentives, regardless of ideological consistency. All the right has to do is win, and then (no, really), most of the default left will come along quietly.

The Leftists themselves will just change tactics and orientation.
