Evidence

Not only did it have to weld groups that were more fragmented than ever—rather than Przeworski’s binary, the left now faced a scattering of smaller groups with incompatible interests and cultural sensibilities—it also had to contend with an anemic civil society, in which politics itself had been privatized. How to organize for this age of disorganization became the defining quandary of the millennial left. — Arthur Borriello and Anton Jäger, The Populist Moment, 157
