Essay: On Mea Culpas, the Populist Alliance & the Young American Left (Link)
Editor’s note: after accidentally wading into the Twitter war between anti-establishment lefties and progressive coalition social democrats because of the personalities involved in the discussion on Sunday, I found myself ruminating about the whole situation yesterday in my garage during an internet outage. In the end, the complexity of the situation forced me to break out my laptop and write an informal, left wing theory essay for my Patreon Blog – an essay I’m going to share a link to in this post.

Fresh off a (fully earned) online thrashing for opening my big fat mouth in the middle of a leftist community Twitter debate, I sat down to compose a mea culpa, talk about why the American left might as well use an almost certain-to-fail Medicare for All vote to launch a civil war against Bidenist neoliberalism, and to explain why I still don’t think it’s a good idea to associate ourselves with folks pushing a left-right, anti-establishment, populist alliance.
