Chomsky whines about the USSR and calls its collapse "a win for the left". Absolutely unbelievable. Of course he has nothing to say about 1993 protests or the fact that the majority of Russians who experienced life in the USSR want it back.
Zizek calls China a "bad model for the left". Of course no actual socialist experiment is ever good enough for the ivory tower intellectual. Even worse, he keeps saying he hopes that China will liberalize its government. So fuck the DotP, lets just give away power to the capitalists, because that is literally what will happen in a liberal democracy, and he knows it.
This is at least half the thread right here. All the incentives and career tracks in mainstream media flow around capitalism as an unchangeable net positive. Of course this leads to only token coverage of leftists, and that token coverage is further restricted to leftists with significant flaws.
Wolff really needs to do a series on Netflix or something imo, thats how u get some serious mainstream coverage, and u know it would be really well received too with how well hes able to explain things.
