A Critique of January 6 Democracy Discourse

There has been so much talk about January 6th and the many threats to our democracy lately. These conversations are plagued by so many contradictory logics and double standards, I feel like I’m going slightly crazy and wanted to lay out a few provisional arguments on this platform. (1) Disruptive…

A Response to Timothée Parrique

Thanks to Timothée Parrique writing a response to my appearance on the Space Commune podcast. First, I should say, I didn’t have any say in the title of the episode (I think the hosts meant it as a joke/parody). I also don’t intend to ‘destroy’ any person or body of…

Planet of Classes: It’s not “Us” but “Them” who are to Blame

When powerful, wealthy, middle-aged white men living in the United States make much discussed environmental films, the most important parts are at the end — where they reveal the core of their politics. At the end of An Inconvenient Truth — Al Gore’s 2006 film — the credits rolled with…

March 2020 and the Professional-Managerial Class

March 2020 is proving a world historical month for many reasons. One admittedly minor one: it seems to me this month has vindicated the importance of the PMC (Professional-Managerial Class). The great PMC debate raged in Fall 2019 in the height of clashes between supporters of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie…

The Unity Grift

Source: Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ (Wikicommons) If you’re an objective analyst of U.S. society at the current moment, you can’t deny it is a society structured by division: a racial wealth gap where African-American wealth is about 7% of white wealth; a level of economic inequality not seen since…

The Banality of the Democratic Donor Class

Serious question for all you so worried about Russia/Putin’s influence on our elections. Do you think it’s OK that this woman (Tara McGowan) is the CEO of a company that is the “sole investor” in the company that designed the app meant to *transmit* results of the Iowa Caucus? …

Bernie Sanders and the Left’s View of Humanity

Source: Wikicommons “The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good.” This line from a New York Times Op-Ed “Why Rural American Voted for Trump” really stuck with me at the time. It was early January 2017 and…

Elizabeth Warren’s Democratic Party Problem

This crystallized everything for me: at the end of the debate, Warren gave a friendly handshake to Joe Biden and patted him on the shoulder. Then, turning toward Bernie, he extended his hand, she refused, and a tense exchange followed. …

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and the Realignment of US Politics

For those still on the fence in the Warren vs. Bernie debate, I highly recommend these two debates (links below — featuring, in separate debates, Meagan Day and Micah Uetricht of Jacobin who both do an amazing job). I think these debates — both extremely fair, calm, and respectful —…

Bernie 2020

OK. So I am ALL IN. But, I know there a lot of doubters on here. So, if you’re one of them, I want to start by asking some basic questions. Are you part of the 33% of Americans that have a college education? Do you have some sort of…
