Abstract

The article focuses on the challenges faced by the political left in organizing against rising right-wing movements globally, particularly in the context of the Democratic Party in the United States. Philip Rocco argues that the party's ineffectiveness stems from its transformation into a coalition of narrow interest groups following the decline of the labor movement, suggesting that revitalizing labor should be central to its strategy. Additionally, the article discusses the political dynamics in the Global South, highlighting Narendra Modi's rise in India and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's struggles in Brazil. Jeff Goodwin posits that the possibility of socialist revolution is unrealistic in the current climate, advocating for a focus on social democracy as the viable path toward socialism. Lastly, Nicholas Vrousalis critiques the notion of "technofeudalism," asserting that it represents a mutation within capitalism rather than a departure from it. [Extracted from the article]
