I really should clarify. The self-proclaimed progressive left does say the words of social and cultural liberalism, but it is conditional and withdrawn when minoritized people do not bend the knee to their anointed ones.

That is why I say they are self-proclaimed because they aren't really progressive liberals, they just say they are and retreat into illiberalism, delegitimizing their opponents, proclaiming their losses as corrupt, rigged, etc. Which is why I call the vanguardists.
Most of them self-identify as Marxists, so they should not complain. Vanguardists are in their own terms more class-conscious than the rest of the polity. They see themselves as keeping the party pure from the uneducated masses while instructing masses what they should think
The essence of vanguardism is contempt for the people, the "low-information voters" they will lead into putting them into power.
