Doesn't bother me. The Red faction on the left lost: the Soviets are no more, and the PRC is becoming capitalist (though perhaps fascist rather than democratic). It's a new century, we'll take the color back, thank you.

The American left is now mostly a bizarre variant of fascism, owing more to romantic and Nietzchian attacks on Christianity, the Enlightenment, and modernity than to either the Rousseauian phase of the Enlightenment or to Marxism. Let the have blue: they sing the blues enough

I agree- after listening to the pros & cons, I decided that I like the inversion. Maybe we could claim we "liberated" the Left's use of the color red.
