If we listen to their positions on crucial issues and examine the bills they support in the House of Representatives, lawmakers branded as leftists are the ones more in tune with public interest. Of course, there are some independent or opposition representatives who occasionally act as mavericks, but left-leaning legislators as a group are more consistent in supporting positions that look, sound, and feel anchored on principles and ideals. But why are they being persecuted, harassed, and their lives and security threatened? Why are they constantly Red-tagged and branded as terrorists? The common claim is that they masquerade as parliamentarians, but are, in reality, covert members or even officers of the communist movement that is engaged in armed rebellion to overthrow the government.
