The Rise of the New Progressives Point 2017-01-23 | Will 2017 be the year direct democracy saves the Left? Read the full article on FORBES here: http://bit.ly/2j5XGoz Editors note: A previous version of this video was uploaded yesterday under the title “The Rise of the Alt-Left”, which was removed shortly after. After some discussion with the Point team and feedback from colleagues and watchers, we decided that the term ‘Alt-Left’ didn’t accurately describe the movements discussed in the documentary.When we first began filming for this documentary, we wanted to explore a counter movement to the Alt-Right, which at the time was used by a number of fringe groups that identify as right-leaning in some way. By the time of publishing, the alt-right had become synonymous with bigotry and white supremacy. It didn’t seem appropriate to use a term that could be misconstrued as something different to our definition, so we gave the video a new title. The story and content remains unchanged. We apologise for any confusion.
