'hard left', while not always pejorative, is often a term used to delegitimize the people it is applied to. it's most regularly used to portray those people as on the fringes, extremists, at the outer reach of the political spectrum etc. jeremy corbyn is not 'hard left' by any measure really - that he can be described as such by our press without pause for thought betrays the fact we have a truly poisoned political culture in this country. really he is just a mild, centre left social democrat - the like of which would be very much seen as the common sense mainstream in many continental european countries. on rainy fascist island though, his politics is othered as 'hard left'. I suspect there are very few hard left members of the labour party, despite all of the braying about 'trots' from labour right patsys on social media
