So I read the @_michaelbrooks book that skewered Intellectual Dark Web people and concluded with the observing that Quillette magazine should NOT get comedy fueling from the left and that messaging by leftists must transcend borders and cultural identities.

@_michaelbrooks also notes that some focus on identities of the audience for a leftist can be useful when coming up with cross cultural messaging. For example, one activist cited prominent thinkers from China and India to recruit Asians to progressive Marxism.

Between @_michaelbrooks and Richard Wolff I am realizing that capitalism in any format is clearly insufficient to tackle progress and I have become socialist by Wolff's definition meaning that I yearn for something beyond capitalism. Not sure if I am a Marxist as well though

Karl Marx had great observations on the status quo for sure.
