yellow sweater woman calls this guy a liberal while outlining she believes political movements start with a secluded bunch of great man nerds who generate big important ideas from thin air
Well the writer is a turbo lib so idk what people expect from him
He's one of the slightly more tolerable versions of libertarian. He did write long things on how the current American healthcare system sucks for non-rich people, and how national borders should be entirely removed because freedom of movement benefits everybody and increases equality.
Clearly naive like all libertarians (ie thinking a bourgeois "first-world" nation would ever implement open borders), but seems to at least have some care for your average human.
Those types seem to become communist when they read theory. The misanthropes become fascist.
Precisely why I emailed him the thread. In the hope he lurks around a bit.
Yeah, saying that about Marxist-Leninism in particular is pretty wild, given that the amount of deviations that are possible within ML thought because of it's fairly organic nature. Not that tax bracket stuff is not a severe deviation from theory.
