1848: the mystery moment for the left
Out Of Revolution
After haranguing Zizek, it should be said that a ‘new left’ could be so easily achieved, but it seems it can never happen.
The question of revolution has been misunderstood and given false theories by the left, that is Marx, and it is hard for people to overcome the mystique of the Second Internationale, or come up with any fresh ideas. But even to go back and study that period would remind the left that Lenin was another interloper who systematically wiped out the original left.
