How Hitchens Can Save the Left

In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson reexamines Christopher Hitchens's legacy, arguing against the perception of him as a defector from leftist ideals. He portrays Hitchens as a steadfast advocate for free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values, remaining committed to the Enlightenment principles throughout his life. Johnson asserts that Hitchens's ideas can inspire a resurgence of free speech and individual rights, offering a powerful counter to the rising illiberal trends in contemporary society.
