      1. This article about the Millennial Left is very good but has an interesting tension in it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/07/20/the-millennial-lefts-war-against-liberalism/?tid=ss_fb&utm_term=.367ec9053d35 …

      2. The Millennial Left is closer in spirit to Old Left of 1930s (economics focused) than 1960s New Left (personal liberation focused). Fine.

      3. But, @HartmanAndrew notes, cultural manifestations of Millennial Left (including, ahem, Chapo) closer to 1960s "theatrical...high-jinks"

      4. It's worth remember that 1930s Old Left had a cultural style too: "the popular front" broadly understood.

      5. As against 1960s New Left, cultural style of Old Left wasn't about annoying the squares. It was about representing & reaching the masses

      6. The popular front (Dorothea Lange, Paul Robeson, Orson Welles, Billie Holiday) was attempt to create a radical mass culture.

      7. Popular Front culture had its faults. At worst, it could be corny, simpleminded, didactic. But still: real attempt at radical popular art

      8. Of course we can't really return to 1930s popular front style but it does point to something we're lacking today.

      9. (Should add that I'm speaking here of North America. Heirs to the popular front more obvious in rest of the world).

      10. Also, @HartmanAndrew portrays Old Left as hostile to liberalism but there was complex cycle of engagement & alienation.

          One of the more dogmatic 3rd Intl philosophers Politzer, eclipsed by Sartre/Merleau-Ponty, was a staunch defender of the Enlightenment.

          TBF there's a massive difference between liberalism as represented by FDR & post-1929 capitalists vs Clinton & post-2008 capitalists.

          That hostilty is there towards Corbyn (as it was to Attlee) from parts of British left but it's nothing like the hostility to Blairites.

          All of your points are spot on, but this is particularly important. 1930s left crested as left wing of Rooseveltian liberalism.
