Ocasio-Cortez Faces Criticism for Speech at Munich Conference

The article critiques the current lack of influential left-wing intellectuals, contrasting them with historical figures like Chomsky and Foucault. It highlights comments from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer during the Munich Security Conference as emblematic of a shallow progressive worldview. The piece argues that the collapse of socialist ideology and the rise of cultural Marxism have stifled critical discourse, leaving contemporary socialists ill-equipped to engage with dissenting ideas. This situation poses a risk as elected officials may lack the necessary intellectual rigor to address complex global issues.
