3. The hard left is "largely pro-establishment"?

[Exhale] Really? Being pro-establishment would have been the last thing I'd have ascribed to the hard left.

5. OK then. I guess the hard-left people I know or knew could be labelled as "pro-establishment"

They just want to overthrow the current establishment and replace it with their own establishment (which they would then categorically deny was an "establishment" ) .
