By Shamus Cooke, Counterpunch Not long ago pundits eulogized the death of Latin America’s “Pink Tide,” that mixture of revolutionary movements and left-leaning governments that sought the ever-elusive “3rd way” of economic development for Latin America, which ripped the continent out of the once-sturdy hands of U.S. imperialism.

From what I can tell, the Alt-Right has more or less fractured into multiple directions. Charlottesville was more or less their Altamont. Some Alt-Rightists have become Trumpists. Others have associated themselves with the conventional white supremacist milieu, and others have moved into the outer fringes (like National-Bolshevism). It […]

Whatever happened to the idea that libertarianism is supposed to be about doing your own thing individualism and free association?

Wrong. Our far-right are 19th-century plutocratic liberals. Our center-right are moderate reform liberals. Our center-left are neo-liberals. Our far-left are progressive liberals. He’s right that we don’t have a far-left movement unless you count tankies on YouTube.
This is somewhat reminiscent of when cosmopolitanism, bohemianism, androgyny, sexual/chemical experimentation, etc. were considered to be the prerogatives of aristocrats in opposition to the values of the conservative peasantry.

When you create a meme that inadvertently makes the point that “CRTs,” “SJWs,” and similar others are not so much “Marxists” as types of sectarian neo-Protestants.
