I don’t know about SF specific policies, but I’ve met some people that consider parental leave, non compete bans, sick leave, environmental laws, and basically anything else to help the general public to be “extreme left”.

It's only Bolshevik to Americans who don't actually understand the meaning of that word, or any related concept for that matter because of the incessant propaganda they're subjected to

Public protest is not a sign of ‘Bolshievism’. You get that basically everywhere.

Of course not, and I've attended public protests. But a public protest of the core tenets of capitalism--not just its excesses--is as close to Bolshevism as you can get. Bolsheviks started as a fringe group like Antifa, but look where they ended up. Reasonable moderates need to stand up for a form of regulated capitalism, one that protects workers and the environment, and reasonable tax policies that redistribute some of the elites' wealth to form social safety nets, but we also need to be wary of and even fight against any potential rise of radical, wealth-destroying and authoritarian socialism.
