The "COVID" dynamic had nothing to do with "left." It was large capital destroying small capital, part of the basic capitalist dynamic of centralization and concentration, in this case carried out with the direct aid of the state. Such state/capital cooperation dates back to the emergence of capital and the modern state onto the stage of history, starting in late medieval England and then spreading to the rest of the world. This dynamic is most certainly not good for working people.

It is abhorrent that most of what passes for the "left" embraced the official "COVID" narrative and mandates. This is a result of the modern "left" largely embracing the state and indeed even capital.
