Sadly the Overton window in the US has shifted so far right that people think a neoliberal party like the democrats (which is similar in policy to the Conservative party in UK) is liberal left wing.
The actual left is beset on all sides.
From the left: Radical anarchist types who want actual revolution (like the "abolish profit" and "abolish borders" thing in the video)
And from the right: Everyone from actual nazis to republicans/conservatives to (economic) Liberals.
People are also mislead into thinking Unions are bad for them, poor people are told that higher taxes means they'll have it worse off (when realistically the burden would be on the rich or on large businesses via closing loop holes/taxing profits made in the country)
On the abolish profit thing, thinking more about it. Like it sounds proper extreme anarcho-communist type thing but there is the, more moderate, zero growth/Steady-state economy thing. As this guy says tho, it's not attractive to most people.
The US revolution started over taxes, don't think they'll ever truly appreciate them ^^
