what's your summary/hot take?

Vijay is busting many myths here. Most important for me were the narrative shift after 1970s (particularly post 91) that assumes:
1. The Left was rendered powerless.
2. It is one monolith with a singular ideology.
3. Reducing Left activities to sporadic uprisings, and completely ignoring the organising that made them possible.

Several great advice as well on importance of developing theory, working together inspite of differences. It's a loaded keynote; go watch :)
