SO YOU'VE BEEN IDEOLOGICALLY DISCREDITED by James A. Smith

This pamphlet is out of print and a new print run is coming soon. For now, you can order the digital version of the pamphlet here.

 

Trump, Brexit, Bernie, Corbyn, Syriza, Podemos, Mélenchon, M5S – to speak only of ‘electoral politics’ – changed the situation for lots of us. All those projects dramatically outperformed the normal political calculus for a while, and then – with a few exceptions – either managed to win and immediately disappointed their supporters, or they collapsed, leaving you – someone who only wanted to make the world better – ideologically discredited and wondering what to do next. 

 

"James is one of the most thoughtful, compassionate and original thinkers on the scene. Unlike most pundits, who have set their face against the times, his anti-anti-populism is a basic requirement for understanding, and gives him a sympathetic and nuanced reading of the moment. Even when I disagree (which is rarely), I learn something."
