The Death of the Millennial Left

Interventions 2006-2022

By: Chris Cutrone

Narrated by: Douglas Lain

The Millennial Left, facing the War on Terror, the Great Recession, the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement, and the Black Lives Matter protests, as well as the presidencies of Obama and Trump and the political discontents expressed by Bernie Sanders, Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn, SYRIZA et al, was tasked with the struggle for socialism in the core of global capitalism. It failed to even attempt this task. In the essays collected here, spanning the Millennial generation's many agonies, Chris Cutrone cuts through the accumulated legacy of failures that the Millennials inherited from the Left of the 20th century and that blocked their view of the socialist politics needed to turn the crisis of neoliberal capitalism into a struggle to overcome capitalism.

The truth hurts 

Whether you agree with all of his conclusions or not the author recounts the failures that the “left” must confrot. The narrator does agood job but the recording is unedited and includes his inevitable mistakes 

Great Content Failed By Lack of Editing

Douglas Lain, please edit this and reupload it. It's unprofessional to leave your mistakes in the final recording. The performance is solid aside from the mistakes that were bafflingly left in.
The essays themselves are interesting and provocative. Chris Cutrone's writing style reminds me of Lenin in that it's something an 8th grader could read without sacrificing depth. I have a lot of disagreements with the author-- his positions on Iraq and Israel are untenable-- but I find value in opposing perspectives and would recommend this book to any leftist with an open mind.
