    “leftist” is not a synonym for “radical” or “Communist”. “leftist” covers the entire spectrum of liberal-ultraliberal-radical. You are not going to get people to become Communists/Stalinists by redefining words no matter how hard you try. Lenin and Stalin’s biggest victims were the other leftwing socialist political parties, not the rightwing capitalists.
