He conveniently lumps all the worst agendas of the Democratic party into a monster he calls "the left" while ignoring all the worst agendas of the Republican party. If you're doing left vs right don't be a hypocrite about it.
Identity politics is a bi-partisan game these days. It's played by "the left" and "the right" in equal measure.

New Republic editor Herbert Croly has been the guy cited as the man most responsible for moving liberalism in America away from its anti-statist roots and infusing it with progressivism.

Since the 60s though liberalism has become more radical as it has been captured by minority identity politics.

Maybe not. But at the time Croly was around America was in the midst of the Progressive Era. He did much to transform liberalism from its classical variant to modern liberalism which substituted protection from the state to using state power to protect people from the ills accompanying big business and industrialization.

Given his age and race it is rather impressive diatribe well done. I have seen supposed learned people with the "correct" posters further detached from reality than this talented tenth's remarks.
