Discussion revolving around the repercussions of a decision-making process in favor of the conservative faction
In the latest issue of DIE ZEIT, journalist Jens Jessen raises an intriguing point in his article titled "Are the Left to Blame?" The article compares the duration of discussions about the political left's actions to the longevity of a common household item - tuna in oil. Specifically, Jessen points out that the debates about the left's actions have been ongoing for much longer than the five-year shelf life of tuna in oil.
Jessen argues that the left's current stance is allowing the right to portray itself as "champions of the little man." He suggests that the left should transform back into a "party for the working population" and reduce the production of what he terms as "nonsense," referring to the left's fixation on "wokeness."
The article also discusses the concept of feuilleton theories, which focus on what the political left has been doing wrong lately. Feuilleton theories, named after the cultural supplement of a German newspaper, have been a topic of discussion for five years, but they are comparatively shorter in duration than the longevity of tuna in oil.
Jessen compares the left to Rosa Luxemburg instead of contemporary theorists like Judith Butler, suggesting that the left should return to its roots and focus on practical solutions rather than abstract theories. He proposes that the left's fixation on "wokeness" is "the greatest gift the left could have given the right."
The article is part of a focus series titled "Are the Left to Blame?" and was written by Annika Joeres. It serves as a thought-provoking critique of the current state of the political left and offers suggestions for change. The use of the longevity of tuna in oil as a point of comparison is an interesting and memorable way to illustrate the persistence of these discussions and the need for action.
