If centrist groups tend to have more money than leftist groups, and money tends to predict electoral outcomes, then centrists would do better, but it would be the money rather than the centrism having the effect. currentaffairs.org/news/the-…

The Case for Centrism Does Not Hold Up

The New York Times editorial board is wrong. Principled progressive politics on the Bernie Sanders model is still the path forward.

It may sound utopian for humans to become beasts again, but is it not more unrealistic to stretch human nature to its breaking point by keeping pace with the inhuman force of capital? currentaffairs.org/news/the-…

The Left Has Failed Animals

Even among self-described “ecosocialists,” the lives of animals are often treated as an afterthought. We can, and must, do better.

To those of us who think immigrant rights and trans rights are important, showing that defending the marginalized might cost “a few” percentage points in swing districts does not provide proof that we should ditch the issue. currentaffairs.org/news/the-…

A utopian socialist conception of the human opens up the rigid divide between us and other animals, reminding us that liberation means creating the conditions for us to return to our natural selves. currentaffairs.org/news/the-…

For the last ten years, Current Affairs has been relentlessly making the argument that democratic socialist politics can win, and need to be given a chance. We now have that chance. piped.video/watch?v=Ets4IEJX…

what he actually said is that ICE agents will be required to follow the law. saying he plans to jail ICE agents is an admission they're not following the law.

Don’t Just “Protect” Trans Youth, Actually Support Them

A right-wing “parents’ rights” movement is sweeping the country, and its ramifications for young people and LGBTQ people have already proven disastrous. So why are so many on the left repeating their...

Pete says he’s not supporting Mamdani but then says he was also a young mayor who was counted out and look at him now.

If he defies the skeptics and haters, and is the best mayor in the history of New York, delivering on his agenda, Mamdani may massively improve the political fortunes of the American left. If, on the other hand, he disappoints, he may discredit the left. currentaffairs.org/news/foll…

Follow Mamdani’s Example

This is how you run. This is how you win. This is the politics we need right now. Democratic socialist candidates can inspire people again, and fight the right effectively.

There's a lady on tiktok calling churches saying she needs help buying formula for her baby just to see if they will actually help their communities. She's called 20+ places and so far only a mosque and a tiny little church in Appalachia have offered to help.

Mamdani faces an immense challenge now. After ten years of insisting that if handed power, the left can deliver for people, we don’t want to be like “the dog who caught the car.” currentaffairs.org/news/foll…
