Abstract
[The world and the left] In this article, Göran Therborn takes a broad view of the world and the left today and compares the new century with the previous one. The 20th century was shaped by two great systemic dialectics, industrial capitalism and capitalist colonialism, which in all their devastation nevertheless strengthened their exploited parts so that the labour movement and colonial liberation movements could pave the way for historic human advances in living standards, life expectancy, democracy, freedom, gender emancipation and decolonization. The 21st century looks considerably bleaker with accumulating disasters and without any dialectical direction even for elementary human development. From this vantage point, Therborn tries to understand the conditions for the myriad new lefts of the 21st century and their innovative responses to the major challenges we face: the looming climate catastrophe, the new world of imperial geopolitics and the abysmal economic inequalities among an increasingly interconnected humankind. What are the prospects for the ideas of the left? Publication history: Translation of the article “The world and the left” in New Left Review , issue 137 (2022).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
