    The problem is that since the 90s neoliberal revolution — a lot of the major western “leftist” parties basically become neoliberal elite parties.

    (Ie. Democrats US Labour UK PS France post-Mitterand SPD germany).

    So the main left is often pro-status quo (ie. elite). Just that the right is even more pro elite by culling the poors and engorging robber barons.

    Actual leftism, not neoliberalism or welfare capitalism, is very anti elite. But it’s often barely represented if at all politically.

      If you want to get into that you really need to look at differences of how certain political terms are defined in various countries. I mean tendentially you’re right but party lines just don’t align internationally.
