A Left That Can Do Both

Descrição: The most important point to make at the start of a feature on the global left is that there is no such thing as “the global left”—but we should still talk about it anyway. Workers of the world have not united, and neither has anyone else, which means that the global left remains an abstraction. But it’s a useful abstraction to keep in mind. A global campaign for equality, freedom, and dignity is an ideal worth striving for, and a yardstick to measure ourselves against. Asking how movements within a particular nation—which, for most of the people reading this, means the American left—fit into a global narrative is also one of the best ways to think through questions of strategy. Which problems are unique to one country? Which are part of international trends? What are the limits constricting our room for maneuver? And where are the opportunities to push for more?
