>>488914i think it would be more accurate to talk it about a degenerated reprisal of the american left in the form of the millenial left, haunted by the failure and collapse of the left at the turn of the century
we saw the same militant identitarianism and youth fetishization of the new left plus its battles with old labour (think eugene debs) reemerging in sanders, but in a weirdly detached hipster way
its a cheap borrowing from history (a.k.a. a LARP) that doesnt match the same conditions which is probably why it comes off as so hysterical
