Quote:There are some truly scary and illiberal ideas coming from the further left that haven't been shut down by the DNC and which are actively promoted by some of its younger members which concerns me.
Those people - the DSA etc. - are all firmly within the milquetoast social democratic camp. I'm an illiberal leftist, and I can assure you that nothing under the Democratic umbrella is actually a threat to capitalism. An identity politicking Keynesian corporatist capitalism? Yes - but nothing illiberal in the sense of seeking to abolish production for exchange and the value form.
