“The contemporary Left claims not to exist. Whereas the Right sees left-wing threats everywhere, those on the Left eschew any use of the term "we," emphasizing issue politics, {{w|identity politics}}, and their own fragmentation into a multitude of singularities.”

“Precisely because the Soviet Union adopted "the capitalist heavy-industry definition of economic modernization," socialism remained caught within a very specific capitalist model of economic development. The Soviets did not reconstruct American capitalism. They glorified it. (Indeed, for some Soviets, Henry Ford was as close to a saint as one could get.)”

“The US right calls everything it doesn’t like 'communist'. They call Clinton and Obama 'communists'. With 'communist' as the go-to name for anything that isn't {{w|Right-wing politics|right wing}}, its acceptability increases. If you don't like the right, you're a communist.”

“Capitalism is clearly and undeniably failing. It's directly responsible for the {{w|Climate crisis|climate catastrophe}} and everybody knows it.”
