Quote of the Day

Fundamentally: Klein is a leftist, Wolf was a liberal. The classic leftist distinction goes: leftists want to abolish a system where 150 white men run the world; liberals want to replace half of those 150 with women, queers and people of color.

—Cory Doctorow

It appears that Naomi Klein is sick and tired of being confused with Naomi Wolf, and has written a sort of a memoir, titled Doppelganger, to muse on the differences.

Klein should be sick and tired of being convulsed with Wolf.  At her best Naomi Wolf was little more than a platitude spewing hack, and now, she gone full Elon.

Another good quote from Doctorow's discussion, "But whenever real leftist transformation was possible, liberals threw in with conservatives: think of the smearing and defenestration of Corbyn by Labour's right, or of the LibDems coalition with David Cameron's Tories, or of the Democrats' dirty tricks to keep Bernie from appearing on the national ballot."
