Although yes, it should be done as a group, and it would be better done with a group of leftists because they're more likely to have a positive view of women, minority, work, mental health and so on, it's just not something that needs to be done as a political project. Like, religious leftists should pray together, or leftists with children should share child care tips, but that doesn't make it a leftist goal, y'know?
I don't see your point. Yeah, that's not great, but it's not a political project and there's not a way to provide specifically masculinity from a leftist perspective. I see a big part of leftist change in society to liberate people from the alienating idea that they're supposed to grow up into anything in particular.
I don't want something like that, I think inherently the goals of leftist liberation make people feel less pressure to correctly present a gender role, so the utility of a guru like JBP vanishes. You don't need to learn to play your role, because you decide what it means to be you. So we don't need to teach boys how to act, we're by our actions creating an environment where that won't be a problem. The interrim between current world and that world won't be flawless, but that's something best addressed by non-explicitly leftist groups. It's not something "the party" or whatever needs to work on
