A leftist doesn’t know that he is spouting nonsense. He believes.

A basic tenet of the Marxist-Leninist school of leftism is that lies are permissible to achieve the goal. So while the leftist may believe in the goal, he may not believe in the drivel he spouts that he believes helps achieve the goal. I am thinking about Bill Richardson, the Dem governor of New Mexico who ran for president who gave a politically incorrect answer to the question as to whether people choose to be homosexual. The queer moderator gave Richardson another crack at it, and the governor "corrected" himself. He may or may not be intelligent (I suspect he isn't that intelligent), but he sure as heck was disingenuous.

Wow, you really are the king of the distinction without a difference.
