Although I profess my commitment to traditionally Left-wing goals including anti-capitalism, I am mostly defined by my zealous hostility to both the Democratic Party and the radical Leftoids — including the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) and the academic-literary Left wing of media such as Jacobin, n+1 and Dissent. My core dissertation is that the actual ruling class in the US is the progressive oligarchy that is represented in the political sphere by the Democratic Party. I believe that the Democrats are the party of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the Ivy League, the MSM, the upper levels of the national security state and federal bureaucracy, and generally of very educated professionals
I am strongly critical of the contemporary political economy of the US, which is a cushy socialism for the rich and this type of brutal, merciless capitalism for the poor which wrongly bails out banks and keeps the US in a state of permanent war while slashing programs like food stamps and Medicaid.
