In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left&#8217;s own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century\u2014Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p> Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of &#8220;hatred,&#8221; and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> What has gone wrong with the left\u2014and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds.
