DIFFERENT TIMES inspire different sets of leftist ideas. After the second world war, especially in Europe, socialism drew strength from(从……汲取力量) heavily unionised heavy industry. It aimed not to abolish capitalism but to manage it, by nationalising(国有化) utilities and redistributing income widely. After the financial crisis of 2007-09 “millennial socialists”, as The Economist dubbed them, argued that the post-war European model had created leaders too distant from ordinary workers and too complacent(自满的) about climate change. Their solution was to put workers on company boards, create employee-owned co-operatives and subsidise green technology, all to create a more durable, fairer and greener capitalism.(他们的解决方案是让工人进入董事会、创建员工所有的合作社并补贴绿色技术，以创造更持久、更公平、更绿色的资本主义。)
不同时代催生不同的左翼思想。二战后，特别是在欧洲，社会主义从高度工会化的重工业中汲取力量。其目标不是废除资本主义，而是通过国有化公用事业和广泛再分配来管理资本主义。2007-09年金融危机后，被《经济学人》称为“千禧一代社会主义者”的人认为，战后欧洲模式造就了与普通工人距离过远、对气候变化过于自满的领导人。他们的解决方案是让工人进入董事会、创建员工所有的合作社并补贴绿色技术，以创造更持久、更公平、更绿色的资本主义。
Now the latest wave of socialism is swelling(高涨). It is propelled(推动) partly by outrage over the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s war in Gaza. But for many voters Gaza has come to stand for something larger: a sense that their governments lavish(挥霍) attention and money on things other than their citizens’ problems at home. They desire the 21st-century version of the “square deal” offered to Americans by Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.
现在最新一波社会主义正在高涨。其部分推力源于对以色列在加沙战争造成人道主义危机的愤怒。但对许多选民来说，加沙已代表更大的问题：他们认为自己的政府把关注和金钱挥霍在别处，而非本国公民的困境。他们渴望1904年西奥多·罗斯福向美国人承诺的“公平交易”的21世纪版本。
Today this means taking on a broken system that enriches powerful interests, the argument goes, since the modern economy screws over(坑害) anyone who is not on the Forbes list(① 定义：《福布斯》杂志每年发布的全球亿...). GDP is larger than ever, and yet the rent is too high, lunch costs $28 and good work is hard to find.
如今，这种诉求意味着挑战一个让权势集团致富的破碎体系，因为现代经济几乎坑害了所有不在《福布斯》榜单上的人。GDP比以往更高，然而房租却太高，午餐要花28美元，好工作又难找。
