"The ever-deepening crisis of global capitalism that is destroying so many people’s lives, instead of being met with revolution by the “progressive class” is being met with reactionary cries of spend less, lay off public workers, dismantle public programs, get rid of government altogether."
Progressives got fat and happy when they realized that win or lose they could prosper if they had certain political chops. I watched this close up and personal. It began in the 1970s and hit speed with the Clintons. The lie to all this was named Phil Gramm who euchred everyone with his economic nostrums. The inadvertent lassitude of the Clintons revealed the weak underbelly of what progressivism became. The binary between Clintonians and the Right Wing Conspiracy are the First and Second from which the Third of a
redemptive radicalism will emerge. It will not be called progressive it will be called
experimental democratic global revolution - which to say it exists but is as yet unnamed. It contains things you can read about here and in few other places.
