3. Well, I guess what constitutes "far left" depends on where you sit

I remember rightwing folks in Dallas TX in the early 1970s calling Nixon a communist.

National Lawyers Guild lists their aims as:

"to eliminate racism;
to safeguard and strengthen the rights of workers, women, farmers and minority groups, upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends;
to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them;
to use the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression."

Those sound like mainstream values to me.
