Probably. But the blurbs give no hint as to the parameters of "left" used in
the book. So it's a pig in the poke. Was Rosa Luxemburg a catastrophist?

I can't even tell from the blurbs what the authors mean by "catastrophe."
The 20th-century as a whole was a fucking catastrophe. Has anyone ever made
a serious attempt to count the dead?
