Foreign AffairsSummary: This article critiques the resurgence of neosocialist thought in contemporary political discourse, led by figures such as Jeremy Corbyn, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders. It examines how this movement, supported by academics and cultural influencers, seeks to revive a long-dormant ideological tradition that challenges capitalism and wealth accumulation. The author argues that this framing misidentifies wealth itself as the core problem, overlooking more nuanced economic and institutional dynamics. The piece positions neosocialism as a seductive but flawed response to modern inequality, questioning its assumptions and practical implications.. We are living, so we are told, in a neosocialist moment. From politicians such as the Briton Jeremy Corbyn and the Americans Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders leading the charge, to celebrated academics inveighing against the sins of capitalism, to the hipster chic of the Jacobin crowd, a growing movement on the far left is trying to revive and rehabilitate a long-dormant ideological tradition.- Reproduced
