I consider this a kind of neoliberalism of the Left, this rise and promotion of spontaneity above preparation.

It's Israelis who are ready to abandon the hard work of peace.

There's a right-wing shift in Israeli society, very hard right shift.

Leadership is another word for preparation.

Mr. Obama needs to make a phone call to Ankara and have a serious conversation about why the current government in Turkey isn't going to seal its border, why it doesn't take a stronger position against the Islamic State.

You cannot have politics without building mass-movements.

In the early period of Left struggles, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, there were many different trajectories for the struggle, whether you call it 'syndicalism' or 'anarchism' or, at the time, 'social democracy', eventually 'Communism', these were different theories of struggle. But all of them shared a basic understanding that the people...experience exploitation, they experience oppression, but they're not prepared to rise up.
