We are watching the Overton window shift right at breakneck speed, and frankly, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Look at the state of the “left” in 2026.

You’ve got the Communists running isolated circle-jerk theory groups, more interested in purity tests and dunking on “libtards” than building actual coalitions. Then you’ve got the tech-bros hijacking “Save the Internet” and “Don’t Kill Games” movements, turning digital preservation into a consumerist crusade that ignores the physical reality of the workers making the hardware. Meanwhile, the mainstream “left” is in the corner screaming about pronouns while ignoring the fact that people can’t afford eggs.

We have completely abandoned the materialist analysis that actually won people over. We stopped talking about class. We stopped talking about the cost of living.

The only people willing to talk about “material conditions” anymore are the Far Right. They are lying to the working class—telling them their rent is high because of immigrants, their jobs are gone because of “DEI,” and their wages are stagnant because of “globalists.” They are providing a materialist framework, even if it’s a false one, and the working class is eating it up because we have given them nothing else.

The average worker is shifting right not because they are evil, but because the Right is the only side currently acknowledging their economic pain—even if they are completely misdiagnosing the cause. If we don’t get our heads out of our ideological echo chambers and start talking about class war instead of culture war, the fascists are going to win by default.
