That's the Salvage Weltanschauung, which I guess is sort of ex-SWP:

Salvage is edited and written by and for the desolated Left, by and for 
those committed to radical change, sick of capitalism and its sadisms, 
and sick too of the Left’s bad faith and bullshit.


Salvage has earned its pessimism. Salvage yearns for that pessimism to 
be proved wrong.

(This is the latest installment of excerpts from Richard Seymour’s book 
on Corbyn. I plan to review the book for CounterPunch next week since it 
is such an extraordinary combination of brilliant analysis and prose 
mastery that suggests Alexander Cockburn and Christopher Hitchens in 
their prime. It is criminal that this young man does not have a job 
writing for the Guardian or the Independent rather than the fossils they 
employ.)
