>In that case, "Americans" is the group, and "leftist" is the renegade. Likewise, I did mention "anyone finding good sides of ... during cold war". So it is - the internal politics of a group may be national politics if the group is a nation, but that doesn't change the mechanism. Dissenters will be perceived as renegades, and ostracized or accused of treason by the group's hardliners. Happens all the time.
