    That’s part of why the far right is winning: it’s good at mobilising people’s relationships and actions in this shrivelled world, all while capitalising on people’s worsening material circumstances. To fix this, progressives need to take back wealth and power, so that everyone is supported in expanding their lives.

    Gibberish.

    The right always has wealth and power; progressive forces are always on the outside of wealth and power. We can’t take it “back”, it was never ours. This is a dead end.

    What the article totally overlooks is labor organizing. The people you work with are a point of social contact that share your material conditions that you spend time around every day, if you want to change people’s minds you can actually do it in the workplace.
