Indeed post-leftism is so vacuous it's hard to discern much of a solid  p osition on anything in it, except a disavowal (in words at least) of the traditional left.

Perhaps this could be called > "post-unionism?" Shouldn't we have aome sort of concept on hand before coming we come up with a name ("Post-unionism"?)? And what would these "few ideas" - alluded to often, yet never explained - be? </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
