I saw somebody have a meltdown and declare they were post-left because what has leftism accomplished in the last 30 years? That's a sentiment I can understand, but nobody even knows what the post-left is.

It's when you're superior to those twitter leftists who aren't affecting any real change because you *checks notes* don't bother with pretense and just don't do anything at all.

The word "post", meaning "after", here used as an abandonment of all leftist action.

the left definitely needs a bit of reinvention (particularly in the us) but regardless of what that ends up looking like the "post-left" will have no part in it

yeah i defend jacobin a lot but they need to get rid of bhaskar somehow, this is pretty poo poo and blatant

thats always been a problem ive had with jacobin, its whatever sunkara wants it to be. theres no democratic means of control or access like with a party newspaper or publication. like its basically the de-facto party paper of the DSA but the DSA membership has no control over what it puts out. you have a small group of unelected and unaccountable thought leaders in jacobin who can have a very outsized impact on the ideology of the organization with no oversight at all
