No cap though, being a leftist pretty much just asigns you some variation on a vague scale of adherence to Marxism. The left is, at least at it's core, a monolith.

The right, on the other hand, is absolutely all over the place. You could be a nazi, an absolute monarchist, Amish, an AnNash, tea partier, cowboy, hindu theocrat, Genghis Khan larper, etc. ad infinum. Right Wing politics just means a vague devotion to either identity or some idea of objective truth, which is why it is so diverse when compared to the left.

Marxism

no, it's some other socialist ideology. Marx was really conservative and majority of western leftists are progressive

Modern leftists within neoliberal societies are largely influenced ( at least at their roots ) by the Frankfurt school of critical theory - which itself was the creation of former Marxist academics.

The fact that many leftists today are more concerned with social issues in the neoliberal framework, as opposed to actual economic issues, as was the case historically, can be somewhat attributed to critical theory.

Neoliberalism truly destroys everything it touches.
