it's honestly so delusional. If anything the left hasn't been this organised in 40 years, especially in the imperial core, and 2020 saw massive growth in most left orgs in a "rising tide lifts all boats" kind of way. Anyways, here is a quote:
And while Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a boutique object to be put back on the shelf when you grow up and join the machine you once raged against, the corporate HR-speak and identity politics of the Left is a useful skill that can be utilised in full once you make the transition from Communism to K Street.

The radical Left in the West, especially after the decisive defeat of politicians like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn...
They really think run-of-the-mill social democrats like Corbyn and Sanders are the far left.
Or that defeat via ratfucking means their followers will just shrug and go away, instead of getting more committed.
Material conditions? Who cares about those. We kept the stinky leftists away from the levers of power one time that means neoliberalism will reign supreme forever.
Didn't you hear? History is over.

It gets better, the website UnHerd was founded by Tim Montgomerie, Boris Johnson's "social justice adviser" who has been quoted as saying:
Though revolutionary Marxism died, its fellow traveller, cultural Marxism, prospered
edit: he also advocates for a "special relationship" between the UK and Orban's Hungary. Point is, he is probably a fascist

So I heard this person's name for the first time a couple days ago and googled her, and the first thing I found was a KnowYourMeme article saying she's a fake person and all the screenshots of her tweets are fake. So like, whats going on there? I am deeply confused.
She's someone on twitter who tweets like 1600 times a day, seemingly to piss off other marxists on twitter. Calls herself "post-left". Don't know too much more
Reading your quote gave me irl stomach cramps. I hate whoever wrote this shit with all my conscience.
i'm ready to be an HR manager forcing people to self-crit and hold company struggle sessions
Seriously, I want to read this fucking paragraph back to him and right before we drop the guillotine.
how much of a liberal dipshit do you have to be to think Bernie is a "radical leftist", he grovelled at Biden's feet ffs
You know how some insects can see infrared and ultraviolet frequencies while humans can't?
Remember the "Democrats might never lose another election" pieces that were put out after Obama won?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lol this is the american version of all those "China is going to collapse soon, I swear guys, I might have been wrong last time but for sure it's happening this time" articles.
And sorry, you glassy eyed striver lunatic, most people don't even know what the fuck K street is much less have any possibility of working there.
Zoomers and younger millennials have more in common with their great- and (great^2)-grandparents than they do with their parents and grandparents. Fewer of us have even gotten the opportunity to sell out.
This article should come with one of those state of california cancer warnings tbh
