The history of the world is divided into collectivist groups attempting to dominate one another for the sake of power. The purpose of all systems it to perpetuate the collective power that is in control. This is their fundamental principle: All is defined by the power you have and your will to use it. Thus: Seize, Clear, Hold. Everything comes from that. Every argument, rationalization, contradiction, justification, policy and outright lie they've ever made is based upon that above all other things.
Leftism is difficult to understand as a philosophy of ideological doctrines because the ideological principles seem nearly to be in contradiction to each other. Racialism is counter to classical Marxism, classical Marxism is counter to Post-Modernism, Post-Modernism is counter to Racialist narratives, ect. It shouldn't make sense when you try and look at the corresponding foundational philosophies in isolation. You can read Marx, Lennin, Stalin, Mao, Engles, Castro, Foucout, Derredia, Bidal, ect, you won't exactly get a general good idea of what SJW-ism, regressivism, Cultural Marxism, applied Post-Modernism, or what intersectionality is from any of them. Just bits and pieces.
But leftism is obvious from military philosophy. The most clear and identifiable description of the previously mentioned philosophies and ideologies is best described by Clausewitz. Clausewitz gives the best explanation for the philosophy behind the Social Justice movement we see today. And he's not describing an ideology: he's just defining the concept of war.
First. Fucking. Page. Emphasis his.
DEFINITION
I shall not begin by expounding a pedantic, literary definition of war, but go straight to the heart of the matter, to the duel. War is nothing but a duel on a larger scale. Countless duels go to make up war, but a picture of it as a whole can be formed by imagining a pair of wrestlers. Each tires through physical force to compel the other to do his will; his immediate aim is to throw his opponent in order to make him incapable of further resistance.
War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will.
Force, to counter opposing force, equips itself with the inventions of art and science. Attached to force are certain self-imposed, imperceptible limitations hardly worth mentioning, known as international law and custom, but they scarcely weaken it. Force -- that is, physical force, for moral force has no existence save as expressed in the state and the law -- is thus the means of war; to impose our will on the enemy is its object. To secure that aim of warfare. That aim takes the place of the object, discarding it as something not actually part of the war itself.
I can think of no better description of leftist foundation principles than that. Literally nothing. "Oppressor vs Oppressed", "collective good", "post-modern definition of race", "bourgeois vs proletariat". It's all frill. All of it. All of their terms are just variable names, but the foundational general equation of leftism is war itself.
And think of the end game of leftist conflicts. It always ends in disaster, almost inevitably it ends in war and revolution. Even Orwell described a dystopian world where leftism had seized control and the only result was perpetual planetary warfare. All the revolutionary doctrine, all the tactics, all the arguments, the principle of leftism is simply war ... with out end. The revolutions never ended until everyone was dead or the government collapse. A new enemy always had to be found. Leftism is just war. A leftist who claims to wish for peace is a fool who doesn't understand the inevitable end of their ideology, and has failed to grasp that their philosophies are simply excuses, or they are simply a liar.

They want us to be slaves to their whim and will.
We just want them to get off our lawn.
Someone said we don't fight for fear of losing our families.
That is, in fact, why we will fight.
