J. Peterson is an inconsistent leftist. The left is right to criticise him for not going with the flow. If he continues on his current trajectory he, along with Peter Hitchens (an old-style social democrat in the way Peterson is an old-style liberal), will simply be rolled over.

The only way out is not to play within the leftist dialectic. That means a radical break, equivalent to what Heidegger attempted in philosophy (not his politics), where we go right to the root of politics and attempt a new direction. Jung, Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky point the way.

Peterson has the potential to do this. He is a dynamic figure, and what the left fears about him is not his classical liberalism but his Jung, Solzhenitsyn, and Dostoyevsky. The left knows that classical liberalism is part of its own development. But the trio above are not.
