Ours is..the..opposite of the…20th-century..in which the left knew what had to be done (establish the dictatorship of the proletariat), but had to wait..for the proper moment… We have to act now,..the consequence of non-action:…We will be forced to live ‘as if we were free’

fascism literally…takes the place of the leftist revolution: its rise is the left’s failure, but simultaneously a proof that there was a revolutionary potential, dissatisfaction, which the left was not able to mobilize.
