>Revolution is inherently leftist.
You can only justify this claim if you tacitly agree with leftists that history will always progress leftward, and thus the left of today is destined to always rebel against the left of yesterday. We could get into the implications of this (such as how the aforementioned revolutionary cycle is precisely what Ted describes in "The System's Neatest Trick"), but you're missing the main point. Ted did make a major mistake with his terminology: he should not have used to term "leftist" to denote what type of person he meant. "Leftism" in Kaczynski's philosophy is not a political ideology, it is a psychological type, which is necessarily pre-ideological. When Ted says "leftist," he is referring to the stereotype of an NPC who receives all of their news from MSM, easily falls for agitprop, is a strict materialist, and never thinks twice about the potential conflicts of interest of those who have power over him. A "leftist" to him is precisely what he defined the term to be: an oversocialized individual (i.e., one overtaken by integration propaganda), someone with deep-seated feelings of inferiority, or both. However, since modern readers are all to familiar with the contemporary meaning of "leftist," this point is largely lost.
