Why I left the left (and kept moving left)

Right-wingers’ “why I left the left” stories seem pretty unconvincing to me. They don’t really know what the left is, and don’t have as much valid criticism of it as they think. I’ve been a part of the left and it didn’t make me go to the right. The left has plenty of problems but that is no excuse to throw away its goals. You’re disillusioned with the left? Join the club! Then leave the club and move further left.
