13. Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals), or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not suggest that women, Indians, etc., ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology).

Spandrel on bioleninism: by uniting "misfits" the left forms a ruling coalition that is absolutely devoted to the party, because it is their only source of power and influence.

In contrast the most competent and capable don't need some party structure to give them power & influence, so they participate in collective action only conditionally

In many ways, the Unibomber was ahead of his time. If he was born a couple of decades later, I'd like to think he would have been a bitcoiner instead of blowing things up.
