Scott Remer’s commentary ‘’Fighting for Utopia in Tough Times’’ caught my attention in 2017. I made a hard copy.  When I saw it this morning, I noticed that not much has changed. The commentary runs 8 pages.

The Left must offer a vision worth fighting for, one that people genuinely believe it will carry out. We must break decisively with neoliberalism. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama dressed neoliberalism up in eloquent platitudes, but genuflecting to Wall Street profiteers and the military-industrial complex can’t be papered over or forgiven. We must no longer mince words about what we are against and what we are for. Bernie Sanders’ campaign platform was an excellent beginning, but it cannot be an end. His promises were essentially the New Deal 2.0, a milquetoast social democracy spiced with perceived “radicalism” only because of how thoroughly debased and retrograde American politics have become.

Fighting for Utopia in Tough Times

We shall overcome,
