There are several ways. Usually involve gravitating to the following positions or actions.
1. A need for a scapegoat or bogeyman – at one stage this was European Imperialism and Colonialism – now it is the US – a country that can do NO right.
2. A hatred of Judeo-Christian philosophy – Opposition to the Jews as the groundbreakers of the philosophy – in its contemporary form this has manifested itself in the hatred seen on the left toward Israel.
3. A tendency to de-emphasize history – History often negates leftist reasoning.
4.A love of conspiracy theory - A commonality shared with the Far-Right as well.
5. An overuse of Silver-bullet reasoning (fix healthcare = socialized medicine only. Improve education = add more money, etc).
6.A belief that the specific intellectual elites are inherently more able than the general population in knowing what is best for the people.
7. An opposition to most tradition – hence the support for Post-Modernist Analysis in Academia.
8.Embracing Moral Relativism as a means but not an end. The End is of course (in True Hegelian Fashion) - the Philosophy of the Leftist Utopia.
9. Supporting a Culture of Victim hood – A tool for conversion to Leftist Thinking.
10.Championing Identity Politics – Builds resentment toward the traditional system.
11. Destroying an Objective Scale of Judgment – grievances in the West that are expressed by an ‘oppressed’ group are often equated to far worse Third World
