Fetterman and the socialist litmus test
Self-identication remains an underappreciated signal for socialists.
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, once a darling on the American left — mostly, as far as I can tell, for his hilarious advocacy of working class aesthetics — has become one of its leading villains in recent months. This has mostly been because of his belligerently Zionist stance on Israel’s war against Palestine, though lately he seems determined to goad leftists on every front imaginable; most recently, in a bizarre appearance with disgraced NBA washup Enes Kanter where he complained about communists in China.
