Canceling comedians while the world burns : a critique of the contemporary left / Ben Burgis. by Burgis, Ben. Zero Books, 2021. Call #: 320.531 B956c Subjects Right and left (Political science)   Political culture.   Cancel culture.   Social change. ISBN:  9781789045475 (pbk.) Description:  xii, 117 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Contents:  Lenny Bruce can't save us -- Scenes from a DSA convention -- Decision theory for the Left -- Antifa and the pathologies of powerlessness -- Tankies are wreckers -- Neo-anarchy in the UK (and in the United States) -- "No one is ever really canceled" -- The genealogy of left moralism -- Links to some of the articles discussed in this book -- Appendix: NYC-DSA cancels Adolph Reed as police stations burn -- Bonus essay on Jacobin and Quillette : the ballad of Archie Carter. Summary:  "Between the decline of the labor movement, the aftershocks of the falls of so-called "actually existing socialism," and the long exile of even social democrats from the levers of real power, we have gotten far too used to thinking of leftism as a performative exercise in expressing our political commitments rather than a serious effort to achieve left-wing goals in the real world. The book calls for a smarter, funnier, more strategic left."--From publisher.
