Leftism is Savagery, Sophism, and the pseudo-gnosis of hubris (i.e. "Gnosticism").
‘Leftism’ refers to a phenomenon that contains countless groups; it is multi-inheritance. The universalism that some Leftism is defined by has strong roots in Christianity, obviously. It's arguable that Leftism started with Christianity and similar older doctrines, such as Buddhism or Taoism. It's beyond argument that Christianity like Buddhism is in some sense a revolution versus the traditional Right at the time, as the traditional Right at the time in some sense regarded slaves as sub-human (i.e. non-upright) and their sacrifice as legitimate. The traditional right had very ethnocentric traditions, and area-focused traditions (like Rome) which Christianity in some sense opposed with a type of universalism of believers. Universalism, such as "we're all equals" tends to be a defining feature of Leftism. But to not wander too far from the mainstream it may be most useful to limit the definite origin to around the French Revolution, and say what precedes that is pre-leftism or proto-leftism.
