The Death of the Millenial Left - by Chris Cutrone
The Millenial Left, facing the War on Terror, the Great Recession, the Arab Spring, the Occupy Movement and Black Lives Matter protests, as well as the presidencies of Obama and Trump and the political discontents expressed by bernie Sanders, Brexzit and Jeremy Corbyn, SYRIZA et al, was tasked with the struggle for socialism in the core of Global Capitalism. It failed to even attempt this task.
In the essays collected here, spanning the Millenial generation’s many agonies, Chris Curtone cuts through the accumulated legacy of failures that the Millenials inherited from the Left of the 20th centrury and that blocked their view of the socialist politics needed to turn the crisis of neoliberal capitalism into a struggle to overcome capitalism.
A critique of the history of the recent and current Left, the book is also a lesson in politics: the politics marking the 21st century and the absence of Marxism from informing the Left as much as the Right. It is essential reading for anyone interested in a socialist politics of freedom.
