438: The old left vs. the new left

P&C drink and review a Pretzel Wheat Beer from Aldus Brewery, then discuss how "the left" has changed over the last few decades. In many areas, the left of the 60s and 70s has been turned on its head by the modern, woke left. The contrasts become clear when you think about the attitude towards ... * Authority and government * War * Drugs * Free speech * Multinational corporations * The working class * Individual rights * The rule of law * Civil liberties * Free markets * Individualism Wokeism has replaced the liberalism of the 60s. The woke require lockstep conformity to a far-left perspective on race, gender, sexuality (and maybe climate, and vaccines), or we'll ruin your life. There's no individual rights. There's no free speech. You must comply.
