Yeah there's a term for this: liberalism.
Many liberals want the similar things as leftists, they just know waving red flags and repeating the same inane slogans doesn't accomplish anything.
Leftists are so obnoxious that the working class prefers fascism over leftism. Leftists, being obnoxious, just goes on thinking the working class is stupid for not appreciating their greatness. Completely incapable of considering they're abject failures at communicating with the working class they claim to care about.
