I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic

And what's more leftist than that

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

If you think a seventh prime minister in ten years will magically solve the structural problems, deep malaise and febrile atmosphere caused by austerity, Brexit and social media, you're a fundamentally unserious person.

"For the Kremlin, the Miami talks were the culmination of a strategy, hatched before Trump’s inauguration ... By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies".

Diplomacy as real estate.

Everyone from Putin to FIFA knows that you no longer need to appeal to American interests, let alone values; you appeal to the greed of its president and his circle.

A more honest slogan than MAGA would have been "Make Donald Rich Again".
