I don't understand what happened with the left. Right wingers exercise their beliefs on the edge of sanity and it's a proper place to suggest a new perspective that doesn't contradict reality that much.
People on the left actively propose interesting ideas (eg: green new deal) — but the press is owned by a bunch of billionaires, which means that it actively supports right-wing positions. As a result, what you hear about is stories about how they're secretly communist efforts, rather than any kind of evaluation of how those policy changes would affect people.
