Ofc I don't expect anything to come of such thinking, it is far removed from the presently concievable in America (i.e. los Estados Unidos), which unfortunately appears locked in a culture of mass ignorance and backwardness which only seems to flip between too little too late and not even wrong, more violently the more heated the friction between global secular progress and local parochial recidivism becomes. A big part of this I think is that the supposed left, isn't really in fact a left at all, except in formal opposition to it's Sith moeity over a base of shared values. As constructs of they can hardly be any threat to the established order.
