Communism crashed in the 90s and then 9/11 happened, and the Left decided that Islam was the next globally ascendant challenger to the West, so they decided to make an "alliance" https://t.co/Bji810ZMPC

I think that gloss is basically correct. To be fair, the left has more than a few good proposals. This alliance, though, was fucking atrociously terrible, will probably ruin Europe for 300 years, and has significantly harmed the US too.

So, fail, and kind of negates all their other decent ideas.
