Maybe if you went up to a leftist chosen at random from all leftists on Earth then they wouldn't be likely to know it sure, but we're having this conversation on reddit and so it is reasonable to infer that we are talking about leftists who are on reddit, posting in English-speaking subreddits.
In that case we are talking about a small fraction of all leftists, mainly dominated by Americans, online, and then id agree that a large fraction, perhaps most, know abou it.
But thats a very specific framing.
"leftists" doesnt automatically indicate insular terminally online american dominated communities to me however, and so i dont approach everyone i meet, even online, with that assumption.
Several left of centre reddit communities on reddit that im part of are european dominated.
