Turns out that a young-ish, academic progressive electorate is a solid foundation for a left party which advocates for a liberal culture and redistributive politics.

I’ve never heard of a real leftie who is anti migrant.

Plastic Lefties yes, but not real ones.

I’m not sure how Streeck interprets him, but I don’t think Polanyi was arguing against migration or the movement of people? I mean the guy himself was a socialist Jew who couldn’t go to the States because of his Communist wife. Surely it’s a more general argument about market dislocation

I wrote a lot more about Polanyi in Contract & Contagion. There's an open access version on Monoskop
