What does this mean for Leftism?

 Nothing. Modern leftism is itself industrialized, subsumed in a way better displayed in the Black Mirror episode “Fifteen Million Merits” than anything I can describe here. It is as much an apparatus of the state as other industries. What were armies of hobo singers and song-writers have been transformed into a bureaucracy before our eyes- what were armed criminals subverting the monarchist grip have become twitter catboys. Look at Maoism and how it became a marketing decision in the eyes of Constantine “Cus” D’Amato.

“People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
Freddy Angles, 1891
