The entire “loyal opposition” concept is predicated on a maturity and sense of restraint that is nowhere to be found in radical politics. There is something profoundly adolescent in the notion that transformation to a better society must involve the destruction of the present and the subjugation of its occupants: in essence, the current progressive standard-bearers of the Democrat party really and truly never grew up.
It is not being "adolescent"--although it certainly utilizes the systematic intellectual corruption of adolescents being brainwashed in institutions of "Higher Education."
