Radical parties that win elections discover parliamentary pressure inexorably pulls them toward compromise. The far-right monopolizes opposition to neoliberalism by default, not superior strategy. Meanwhile, the revolutionary left fragments into competing sects, each convinced the others are sellouts or sectarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't accidental. \u003cstrong\u003eIt's structural.\u003c\/strong\u003e And it's predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Mole diagnoses how these collapses happen-and more importantly, how to prevent them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat's Inside\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Ideological Mapping \u0026amp; Strategic Frameworks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstand the four distinct forms of \"conservative leftism\" now dominating European and American politics-from Sahra Wagenknecht's red-brown fusion of left economics and far-right cultural politics, to the campist defense of authoritarian regimes, to social democratic surrender to neoliberalism. \u003cstrong\u003eLearn to distinguish genuine working-class politics from its pale imitations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the theoretical debates shaping revolutionary strategy: Why does permanent revolution theory struggle with 21st-century conditions?
