The ruling class can be lazy and weak, but also control the system. They can hire ruthless thugs to smash up any resistance which was there to hold them back.
As you say, it depends on how we interpret the words. It’s only a logical contradiction if “the left” is taken as a singular term rather than as a general description. The former is less charitable but it does happen.
In any case, I’m willing to admit that I chose the title based on an alliterative flourish.
Not exactly contradictions though.

Then the contradiction is calling it the left, when you’re clearly describing oligarchs.
I’m describing how the right views the left, or how the left views the right.
