I have to assume you’re using “left” in that peculiar American sense in which it means “center right”. The actual left are not complacent, but they’re unrepresented.
when i start talking politics with people, i regularly have to preface the conversation with “i am an extreme outlier that is very far left” because i get very weird looks for saying things like, “all people should be able to eat.”
its a weird state of being trying to defend something kind.
The actual left is very much also complacent. Mango man’s goons just robbed an innocent family (of citizens, though I shouldn’t need to specify that) blind and where’s the action? Where’s the outrage? Where are the goddamn strikes?
I think that’s lack of organization, given how difficult companies have made it for workers to unionize, rather than lack of will. Also lack of numbers, given how many workers have become Trumpists or consider unions to be evil communism.

Yes, he’s referring to neo-liberals.
Neo-liberals always align with conservatives when their wealth is threatened.

Preaching kindness is a dangerous business. Be careful out there.

Yeah so the actual left should be doing something about that right the fuck now. Anything else is complacency.
