my main thought is that Bérubé makes Unger sound like a Futurist of the Marinetti variety. This is not praise for a work that claims to run politically left.
I’m of the opinion that the Left’s fashionable revolutionism is, at this point, the replacement of action with nostalgia; Unger’s proposals seem like another set of (No) Alternatives, with a dash of possible fascism thrown in.
