In short, this left-wing radicalism is precisely the attitude to which there is no longer, in general, any corresponding political action. It is not to the left of this or that tendency, but simply to the left of what is in general possible. For from the beginning all it has in mind is to enjoy itself in a negativistic quiet. The metamorphosis of political struggle from a complusory decision into an object of pleasure, from a means of production into an object of consumption—that is this literature's latest hit.

—Walter Benjamin, “Left-Wing Melancholy”
