The stubborn opposition to so-called "post-leftism" comes from
people who think it is a load of shite from folk with nothing 
original to say who have just come up with a meaningless slogan,
like Tony Blair came up with "New Labour", in order to make
themselves sound "new" and "with it".

No, these people are  _attacking_  the load of shite 
you call "post-leftism". There is a difference. 

NOBODY in this discussion is defending the Stalinists, 
or the Trotskyists, or the Social Democrats, or any other
authoritarian leftists. That is  NOT  what the argument
is about, and it is a fairly typical piece of evasion 
for you to try to pretend that it is.
