This new non-partisan reformist left (#Hedges, #Albanese, #Varoufakis, #Thunberg etc.) takes some organization to come together and demonstrate. Do we know what this organization is?

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)
https://youtu.be/U23Ho0m_Sv0?si=DIXaREhZhMS9Q3zc
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.

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.

The Stuart Hall Project
Hoy pasamos por aquí para recomendaros un documental que teníamos pendiente desde hace tiempo y recientemente hemos podido ver. Se trata de The Stuart Hall Project, dirigido por el cineasta John Akomfrah, que repasa la vida de Stuart Hall, un teórico cultural jamaicano-británico reconocido por su influencia en la Nueva Izquierda y como uno de los fundadores de los Estudios Culturales.

#Holocaust #AntiZionism #AntiSemitism #AntiFascism #NewLeft: "Both to declare their fundamental solidarity with Black Power organizations such as SNCC and the Black Panther Party, as well as to articulate how their own Jewish sensibilities aligned with their revolutionary commitments, opposing Zionism and fighting antisemitism affirmed of the kind of Jews they understood themselves to be. As Loew articulated her own sense of Jewishness, she didn't feel herself to be "breaking with anything" when she opposed Zionism - in fact, it made her feel like she was keeping "part of who we always were" alive. For those who remained on the revolutionary left in organizations such as SDS, SWP, the CPUSA, the October League, and Revolutionary Union, rejecting Zionism as a project, and supporting the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was not only a way to reinforce their revolutionary commitments, it was a way to reinforce a Jewish heritage that felt less lost than under assault."

The '60s Radicals America Forgot
I found this overview of a time period that has fascinated me for decades rather well done. I appreciate Ryan's work because he does his homework and takes it seriously. I also believe there's a lot more that can and should be said about the so-called New Left and this video is just an introduction to many of the salient features and issues.

„Well, we were arrogant just as today’s young feminists are arrogant and think nobody has thought these things before when actually an awful lot of them have been thought before. One of the things I remember so clearly is how pissed off Dorothy Thompson was at the next generation’s – our – sense of how we were doing something so different and new. (laughs)“
