A discussion about making lefty change in America. With the Dems or without them etc. I liked a lot of what #VivekChibber said, especially about using the Dems to break open the system to make other options more viable like #RankedChoiceVoting. But I don't see them letting that happen. #BadFaithPod

I still think we must focus on the "attention being controlled by the wealthy" problem. It's true in the mainstream but now also via corporate algos on social media.

This is just so damn good.

Vivek Chibber gives so many great insights, hot takes, and clear critiques of the contemporary Left's failures and what it means.

This lucidly written and elegantly argued book should be read by everybody on the left, especially those of us apt to turn to concepts such as "false consciousness", "hegemony", or "dominant ideology" when explaining the current impasse of socialist and social democratic parties.

> ... there is a kind of repetitiveness to Chomsky’s empirical work... For the overwhelming majority of Chomsky’s audience, who don’t pore over all of his writing as part of their job, there is no such feeling of repetition. They come to him when they need him, and when they do, they find what they are looking for — a confirmation that their instincts are right, that they have been lied to yet again.

For me it was
_#DeterringDemocracy _ about El Salvador, Nicaragua...
