Great panel on how misrepresenting ”talking truth to power” for minorities only, not the greater working class, paved the way for MAGA.
(Yes. I know this hurts. But what you consider ”left” in USA is not actually left. It’s center-rigth liberalism. And you need to hear this. You were fooled, bigtime, by anti-left neoliberals)

....Marcuse engaged in a wide ranging discussion of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and of his own work in an interview with Bryan Magee for the BBC series Men of Ideas:
The Frankfurt School - Herbert Marcuse & Bryan Magee (1977)

Of course Marcuse's claims can be questioned, but more than half a century later his ideas and those of his Frankfurt School colleagues remain a vital resource for critical engagement with society.

Insightful article from a few years ago on the recently deceased David Horowitz. The murder of Betty Van Patter was probably the occasion rather than the cause of his beginning his migration from the new left to the far right. One important consequence of this migration was his launching of the political career of the malignant Stephen Miller.
As an individual, Horowitz sounds awful and given the politics of his latter years, a feeling of relief or even joy at the news of his death is understandable.
Yet we need to be ready to ask what in the culture of the new left and of the US left in general nourished the loathsome politics of Horowitz. Just uttering the words "horseshoe theory" will not suffice.

Political correctness was originally used ironically and self-critically within #leftist and #progressive circles-especially among activists in the #NewLeft and #feminist movements-to mock or satirize rigid adherence to ideological #purity or #orthodoxy within their own ranks.
#News you can use.
This is just so damn good.
Vivek Chibber gives so many great insights, hot takes, and clear critiques of the contemporary Left's failures and what it means.
