The current iteration of the American left wing is only in it's infancy, but it will grow due to the current trajectory of technology and labor in our post-industrial society. The idea of collective ownership is returning because of the way society is developing, and there is some basis to support this claim as well. Already there is an increased consciousness towards labor unions and workers rights in America, despite the failure of the left to achieve electoral victory, and as Lenin noted a hundred years ago, it's our job to further radicalize and help people understand their class consciousness. It'll be a long process, but we do have several advantages on our side.
