The left is dead. Its ailments cannot be cured. The only way to resurrect what was once valuable in leftist politics is to declare the left dead and begin from the beginning again. Winlow and Hall identify the root causes of its maladies, describe how new cultural obsessions displaced core unifying principles and explore the yawning chasm that now separates the left from the working class. Drawing upon a wealth of historical evidence to structure their story of entryism, corruption, fragmentation and decline, they close the book by outlining how a new reincarnation of the left can win in the 21st century.

i loved the chapters on post modernism and IDpol. always a winner of you reference Micheal Hudson.
I felt the definition of working class culture and multi ethnic writing classes was a bit inconsistent and shallow but still recommend this book.

a must read with a few chapters I didn't like
