It's just, I think we have to be very, very, very careful about understanding the nature of the problem. And we have to be very careful about the words that we use, the language that we use. And we all use these words, the kind of euphemisms, left-wing or progressive. Are you kidding me? What is progressive about the phenomena that we end up describing as progressive?

How is this in any way an aid of human progress or civilizational progress? It's reactionary. It's regressive.

Yeah, well, I'll go back, I think, to what I was inarticulately trying to describe about the trajectory of the left since the 1990s. I think by the 80s, I think, or the 90s, you could say that we'd won we, if I can say that, because I kind of came from the left, although I have no ideological commitments, and I'm kind of sour these days on the left. But anyway, we'd won all our bouts.

We've won them all. Civil rights, equal rights for people of color. Gay marriage. Gay marriage, the right of women to equality in the workplace, the right of unions to organize, labor relations standards, environmental laws were coming along. We'd won all our big battles.

Yeah. And I think, I mean, a mistake to get too weird, not to get too weird about it, but one mistake Marxists made was this idea that there is no more useful role for the bourgeoisie in the progress of human society. They actually were wrong about that because it was the bourgeoisie that led the charge against slavery and for women's rights.

So at any rate, by the 80s or the 90s, you know, we'd won. So something peculiar has happened, and there is this very dark phenomenon that has occupied all the places where the left used to be. And it is invariably... masochistic, sinister, self-hating. Let's tear down the liberal democracies. Let's cast Canada as this illegitimate, racist, colonial settler state.

Let's identify Israel as the epitome of everything that we loathe and despise. it's an ugly, ugly, ugly thing. And I mean, I think it's ugly. Maybe that's an opinion. I don't know. I think it's demonstrably true.

And that was the thing that I was watching over the years is that, you know, I spent a lot of, well, my last major book was about Afghanistan and I spent a lot of time in Syria and the Northeast with the Kurds and
