The failure of these new wave Left projects in the Anglosphere is the failure of a revisionist socialism that attaches itself to the old forms of social democracy. Corbyn & Sanders’ radical rhetoric never matched their hard proposals or the practice used to try & achieve them. https://twitter.com/aaronbastani/status/1247916655533076481

Sander’s project was a Democratic Party operation & wholly reliant on the party’s cooperation. Corbyn’s Labour Party in organisational terms did not change despite the change in ideas at the top—structurally it was still the same party under Miliband. Not fit for purpose.

Sanders talked about ‘revolution’ but never used any revolutionary methods or revolutionary organising whilst treating his ‘friend’ Joe Biden with ‘respect’ instead of utter contempt.
