Why Glenn Greenwald Says Tucker Carlson Is a True Socialist
5th March 2021
Glenn Greenwald’s long intellectual journey from center left to far left to, well, somewhere is a subject of fascination in elite circles. Greenwald comes out of a tradition of progressive journalism that focused primarily on attacking liberals and the Democratic Party from the left. Like many progressives, he latched on to Bernie Sanders’s two presidential campaigns as a righteous crusade to liberate the Democratic Party from the nefarious grip of its corporate, neoliberal masters.
After that, things got weird.
If Tucker Carlson is a ‘true socialist’, then I’m more comfortable with socialism than I ever expected to be.
