De rigeur means that you must do it, if you’re a member of that group. So it’s de rigeur for Yankees fans to have a rivalry with Boston fans. It means it’s an absolute social custom.
You just said that for the left, Mao and Che are absolute social custom. Your proof of this is a Che flag in some Obama field office and a bunch of Che shirts.
Mao and Che are not absolutely social custom on the political left, and you’re absolutely crazy for saying so.
