leftector 

Any simple method / technique aimed at figuring out whether someone is a leftist (yikes).

Here is an example leftector that is guaranted to work most of the time.

First, ask him a question: "Do you like McDonald?".

If the answer is "no", probably he is a leftist.

Then ask the second question: "Why?"

If the answer is "because it tastes like shit", then he's not leftist. He's a normal person. I too dislike McDonald.

If the answer is "because it's blulrbb… mega corporation... blurb… american imperialism... blurb... global capitalism… blurb"..., then... there you got your leftist.

Leftcore

A political aesthetic that uses the visual language of leftist movements—raised fists, red flags, protest signs, revolutionary iconography—as a mood or style. Leftcore can be sincere political expression or aestheticized solidarity, depending on context. It draws on historical images of labor movements, socialist realism, punk activism, and contemporary protest photography. Colors are deep reds, blacks, and occasional splashes of anarchist purple or socialist gold. Leftcore is the look of a generation that came of age during austerity and climate crisis, finding in leftist imagery a language for resistance.

Example: "The poster was a stylized raised fist, bold red and black, with minimal text—Leftcore, turning political symbols into visual shorthand for a movement."
