The Left’s Covid Failure
"Now as countries across Europe experiment with tighter restrictions of the unvaccinated, Left-wing commentators — usually so vocal in the defence of minorities suffering from discrimination — are notable for their silence."
The Pandemic Response as Contemporary Imperialism
"Progressives often engage in leftist rhetoric, but their proposals always result in strengthening and expanding the existing, inequitable system and further entrenching the current, elite class."
“Virus or No Virus, We Can’t Lose Our Voice”: Cheri Honkala on Frontline Communities
"Coronavirus is just an extension of the war that we've been forced to fight under capitalism. It’s not just the virus, but that's made it worse. The media is fear-mongering, and misinformation is spreading. Corporations, politicians, and poverty pimps are rushing to profit from this moment."

"The climate crisis is being commodified and co-opted and nature is being bought. It is the final bastion of ruling class control and it has taken advantage of the latent desires for escape from the apparatus. Hence the cultic thinking and reflexive responses of a new class of true believer."

No Class
"The ruling class exists, it’s not a conspiracy theory. They operate as a class, too. They share the same values, the same sensibility and in Europe and North America they are white. They act in accordance with their interests, which are very largely identical. The failure to understand this is the single greatest problem and defect in left discourse today."

A New Volkisch Mythos
"There is in this new mythos forming around end-times thinking, an erotic representation of duty to power, and it elicits a kind of frisson. Fascism is now being updated, and it serves up a menu of catastrophe and individualism."
