    Yes, Bernie's and Corbyn's back-to-back defeats cratered the Anglo left and have blocked the pipelines with panicked and confused radicals, the protests were the last hurrah, everywhere opportunism abounds, now we'll have to wait for biden's accumulative failures to trigger another right-wing resurgence from which the anglo left can try to appropriate collective energy and redirect it leftward.......in three years at the earliest

        That would involve reading/implementing theory and alienating the socdems, and well that's simply a step to far for some people

      Pretty much what I see is going to happen, agree with this. The right wing are just far more organized and have decades to organize. We haven't seen nothing yet from them, but when we do, it's going to be scary. The backlash to Biden's failures are going to be pretty harsh.

        The right wing has hegemonic control over the narrative and people's basic conception of the world. The Kochs etc haven't just been plotting and planning, they write the legislation that gets passed and changed the very meaning of words like government, democracy, freedom etc. in the minds of millions.

        We don't have to wait and see what they'll do, we live in the world they have made, any future iteration will just be the same but worse.
