They're still considered left and identified as such.

I know Lemmy can be left leaning so I guess my analysis made some assholes sore.

Edit: to answer your question, Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot believed that society must be organised by peasants alone, and intellectuals have no place in it. Hence, the purge and genocide. That belief can't get anymore left.

Ah yes, leftwing ideas such as equality of all people, human rights and class-based genocide.

There were autocratic totalitarians with a genocidal hiërarchy. None of those are left..
