"The Left Can Win"

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Clearly, the European left needs to re-invent itself. I'm not sure if the approach offered by parties like Podemos and SYRIZA is the correct one but it's more inspiring and certainly more "social democratic" in spirit than the tepid promises offered by the traditional parties of the center-left. The left cannot maintain itself as a viable force in times of social upheaval if it is not viewed as dynamic and forward-thinking force.

are you allowed to read anything that isn't peer-reviewed/written by a PhD?

As a general rule that sort of thing is at least as frustrating as Jacobin. Mostly I read fiction these days, it tends to contain more truth.

Truth is stranger than fiction in 2014.
