Check out our book Post-Left Theory: https://postlefttheory.com/What is the post-left? In this special collaboration between 1Dime Radio, Horseshoe Theory, and Theory Underground, Jreg hosts a debate with Tony of 1Dime, David McKerracher, Harper O’Connor, and Brogan of Art Chad. We debate whether the post-left is a new intellectual frontier or another political identity, why the left is losing working-class support, and whether its problems require better messaging or a fundamental change in ideas.Check out Post-Left Theory, my book with David McKerracher: https://postlefttheory.com/Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeYou can also listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 Opening and Introductions5:56 What Is the Post-Left?13:11 Political Identity or Actual Politics?20:32 Luxury Beliefs and the Politically Homeless23:28 Does Your Personality Decide Your Politics?37:36 Reform the Left or Move Beyond It?41:48 Is This Just an American Problem?51:02 DEI, Immigration, and Cultural Identity1:05:36 The Creative Left vs. the Destructive Left1:08:40 What Does “Left” Actually Mean?1:17:49 Leaving the Left Without Joining the Right1:25:00 Are We Still Stuck in the 1990s?HOST AND PANEL:• Jreg, host: https://www.youtube.com/@JREG• Brogan / Art Chad: https://www.youtube.com/@artchad• Harper O’Connor, socialist YouTuber and DSA organizer: https://www.youtube.com/@HarperOC• David McKerracher, founder of Theory Underground and co-author of Post-Left Theory: https://www.youtube.com/@theory_underground• Theory Underground website: https://theoryunderground.com/• Horseshoe Theory: https://www.youtube.com/@HSTPOD• Horseshoe Theory Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HorseshoeTheoryFOLLOW 1Dime:• My book, Post-Left Theory: https://postlefttheory.com/• 1Dime Radio: https://youtube.com/@1dimeradio• Substack: https://1dimereview.substack.com/• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Main YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, comment, and subscribe.

Buy my Latest Book Post-Left Theory: https://postlefttheory.com/Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis is a voice-over reading of my essay "Revolution and Reaction" published on my Substack. In this essay, I articulate my definitive position on the revolution versus reform debate, testing the revolutionary left's case against the historical record, arguing that every revolution calls up a reaction at least as ferocious as itself, and showing how social democracy delivered most of what revolution promised without the bodies. It opens with a short preface on the October 2026 riots in France and closes on why revolutionary communism in the West is now a LARPer's posture, not a threat.This essay didn't make it into my latest book, Post-Left Theory: Beyond Anarchism, Marxism, and Vibes.
