      Yeah—even though liberals and leftists hate this political ecology and increasingly hate each other. Bernie’s entire career as a neo New Deal social dem, independent of, yet tied to the Democratic Party, is kind of an embodiment of walking this line.https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/1270353537168478210 …

      Democrats are not going to embrace a slogan that polls as low as defund the police, but the moderates and liberals need radicals to create space for substantive changes. https://twitter.com/adamkelsey/status/1270349211310096385 …

      How often in US politics have left-wing radicals created real space for "substantive changes" versus alienating voters and giving the right space to protect the status quo or even enact reactionary laws (like Taft-Hartley)?

      Well—1890-1916; 1933-1938; 1961-1966; 1970-1975. As for Taft-Hartley, that’s a complicated issue I’ve spent too much time thinking about, but the 1945-46 strike wave was almost eerily peaceful, including several general strikes.

      Replying to @yeselson

      1933-1938 I can see, but the fact that US economy was totally melting down seems like it was the real driver of liberals' willingness to take embrace more radical policies than they otherwise might have.

      In point of fact FDR's initial impulse (1933-1934) was policies that were corporatist (the NRA) and only came to adopt more left wing policies post 1934 (social security, Wagner Act) in response to left mobilization (and fear of Huey Long etc stealing left vote).

          The NRA established a right to collective bargaining and FDR created a National Labor Board, chaired by Wagner, to enforce it. The NLB lacked teeth (like all the NRA's provisions), leading Wagner to create the NLRB. But the right to unionize wasn't a post-34 invention.

          I wish you wouldn’t say “in point of fact,” there, @HeerJeet . Roosevelt ran on social security, unemployment, support for unions, & a jobs guarantee in 1932.
