About The Regrettable Century
The old forms of the Left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a Dialectical Pessimism and develop a salvage project capable of sparking a new workers' movement for socialism. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.

This is why no fascist alternative is available today, for which there would be any demand. Trump and the AfD are ultra-reactionary. Only, the state they want to administer needs no authoritarian turn for its purposes. It has pacified the class antagonism, secured property, organized competitiveness, and shifted to violence on the periphery. all in the normal democratic run of things. […]
