The Long Detour
- Synopsis
-
Why is there no coherent (socialist) left in the United States? Weinstein (founding editor and publisher of In These Times and founder of the Socialist Review) is one of the most recent writers to attempt to address this question in his history of American leftism during the 19th and 20th centuries. He argues that the dominance of the left by the communists was a serious problem leading to an inability of the left to address American realities, even if many leftist proposals were adopted during the Progressive and New Deal eras and ameliorated some of the most pernicious effects of capitalism for large numbers of people.
