Quantum Physics Meets Politics
- Quantum physics shows that events happen contingently but retroactively create their own necessity.
- Trump's political trajectory illustrates this Hegelian concept of repetition turning contingency into necessity.

- Modern left parties like Labour and the Democrats seem terrified of anything truly progressive.
- The Labour Party has become a moderate right party led mostly by white men, with fringe rightists including diverse groups.

- Trump and Bernie Sanders both appeal but in radically different ways; Trump embodies postmodern historicist relativism through constant lying.
- The left should embrace community, solidarity, and moral majority to respond effectively today.
