      9/The "neoliberal moment" of 1980-2008 seems to have been ended by the Great Recession, inequality, debt, reduced mobility, insecurity, etc.

      13/One reason is that people of color form an increasing % of the left, and tend to be skeptical of single-minded focus on economic issues.

      16/The consensus favors somewhat more govt intervention, but is (wisely) uninterested in trying to overthrow capitalism entirely.

      Um, Bernie doesn't want to overthrow capitalism. He's a New Deal liberal, basically.

          Another good reason for predicting moderate policy gains for the socialist left, but no huge, sweeping victories.

          But there can be synergy between the racial and economic equality wings, which at root are ultimately interdependent, requiring solidarity.

          to be fair to Noah, the DSA etc are embracing Sanders and mainstream reforms like single payer

          Not exactly. The New Deal was jobs-focused and pragmatic. Sanders really was not either.

          Looking at some of the things New Deal liberals did it can probably be argued they did temporarily overthrow capitalism. "War time powers"
