The Left is purely ideological, which is another way of saying indifferent when not actually at war with physical reality. So these 'bourgeois' concerns of yours (your "compassion, cruelty, coercion"), retrograde values of "the system" are irrelevant. If one were to honestly adhere to them, it would be a sign that he, too, is an enemy of the Revolution. Everything, absolutely everything that is not of the Party is counterrevolutionary. Today, with the broad coalition of true believers and their far more numerous useful wannabe idiots, it is not easy to discern who is who i.e., who is directing and who just unconsciously following orders (the pawns of Desmet's "Mass Formation psychosis). It probably doesn't even matter.

The left "revolution" is not organic, it can be stopped in its tracks overnight just by ceasing to fund and platform it. All the agents of that "revolution" would be immediately surprised - like Whoopi Goldberg - at how they're no longer having any traction or effect.

Pay attention to the man behind the curtain, and it's the central bankers of the world, arranging things. The "revolutionaries" are pawns, they are expendable.

We are all in this suffering because this is a time of slaughter. Slaughter is not nice. But also, slaughter is arranged by the butcher. And the butcher is the one who runs the central banks.

I think that's true. In fact it just occurred to me that 'organic' may be a bit like postulating Deus ex machina, a supernatural (inherently inevitable, if one has taken the supernatural off one's mental table) explanation that is also irrelevant. Yet I also wonder if once the manipulators you highlighted are marginalized, mightn't the power of the hypnotized masses, with a smattering of rabble rousing, self-styled revolutionaries (and added into the mix vast and deep economic turmoil) be more than sufficient to continue what the initial pump-priming experts started? In other words, to address your opening words, maybe the left "revolution" is NEVER organic as we understand that adjective. It is always imposed through a superior knowledge of our own psychology and an appropriating of the points of real power in any given system. The Wizard of Oz himself becomes expendable ala Whoopi. (No wizard, to be sure!)
