La izquierda del PSOE lleva una década atrapada en la máquina de guerra electoral heredada del errejonismo. La destrucción estaba asegurada por la incapacidad para transformar su software político. Váyanse a casa y dejen paso a los movimientos de base. newleftreview.es/issues/138/…

I wrote about the wonderful novels of Jonathan Buckley for @nybooks nybooks.com/articles/2026/10…
