Comments on: The Supreme Domestic Policy Question of Our Times Is How Much is Enough? http://thestrangedeathofliberalamerica.com/the-supreme-domestic-policy-question-of-our-times-is-how-much-is-enough.html A Netzine About Ideas Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:20:02 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lori http://thestrangedeathofliberalamerica.com/the-supreme-domestic-policy-question-of-our-times-is-how-much-is-enough.html/comment-page-1#comment-10112 Lori Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:47:48 +0000 http://thestrangedeathofliberalamerica.com/?p=421#comment-10112 The Counterrevolution asks "who pays?" The Countercounterrevolution asks "what kind of world do you want to live in?" It appears to me that the global bourgeoisie wants to live in a type of gated community. To the extent that that is their desire, we should draw it out of them, pestering like hell to get it on the record, stated explicitly. The Counterrevolution states, in so many words, that it wants a subsidy-free society; a wall of separation between economy and state. I don't think those ideas are entirely without merit, as my worldview draws more from old-school (i.e. anticapitalist) anarchism rather than the egalitarian populism you cherish. Perhaps the Countercounterrevolution's response should be "I'll give up mine if you give up yours," theirs being shockingly lucrative defense contracts, privatization schemes, the subsidies that are corporate personhood and intellectual property. What you call accommodationists, I call appeasers. I've even come across the term "Vichy Democrats," but that's hitting way below the belt.
