it's not so much the bloggers themselves but their commenters going TRADE TRADE TRADE (TRUMP) BANKERS TRADE TRADE TRADE TRADE CHINAAAAA and suddenly the easy rhetoric of being angrier-and-leftier-than-thou has quietly been annexed
The broader point of Bertram's musings is that it is time for "the left" to abandon social democracy--which Bertram characterizes as:
>>keep[ing] the masses happy by improving their living standards... prone to [t]witter[ing] self-regardingly about “grown-up” politics. Fixated on... with winning elections... have achieved very little... haven’t done much to stem the rise of inequality, to protect working-class communities from the winds of globalisation, to end poverty, or, for that matter, to protect the environment...
and rely on a combination of "populist nationalism[:] culturally conservative, worried by immigration (and willing to indulge popular anxieties), anxious about the effects of markets on working-class community..." and zero-growth greenism.
Needless to say, I disagree: unless it is yoked to social democracy greenism quickly becomes a form of reactionary nostalgic agrarian conservatism; unless it is yoked to social democracy culturally conservative populist nationalism is simply fascism.

I was looking for us a song I think was called "Nothing Can Come Between us" or a similar title (or chorus) that came from the 90's or 2000's, with a male singer. I thought Rush did it, but Google and You Tube hasn't gotten the right results. Anyone have any suggestions what song it might be or what band made it?
