Better US-understanders correct me if I am wrong, but these goals seem, to me, to work at cross purposes? Unless the Democratic Party achieves a startling and sudden unity of action and purpose, maintaining the concentration of executive power seems necessary for a programme of hard rollback?
Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

Arguably there is an epicycle, where you try to move away from this position, and then other leftists yell at you for accelerationism.
The experience of being a leftist in 2026 is continually being forced into a position of becoming among the staunchest defenders of the status quo, which you do not believe in at all, while its supposed proponents try to smash it with hammers and yell at you for standing in the way

The "socialist calculation debate" is dumb and completely irrelevant to the actual problems of socialism, or capitalism for that matter. This is one of those things that seems so obvious to me that it's not even worth making an argument for, yet some smart people somehow manage to believe otherwise.

this is actually helpful to hear. faced with an impossibly tall order, the low hanging fruit here is actually to start putting heads on pikes. round up the worst corruption cases. see who finds religion. go from there
The entire crux of the repeated prisoner's dilemma is that only the credible threat of tit for tat can keep things civil. They did the tit They get the tat It's that simple. If you don't do it that way, it means they're in charge and you're just a useless mark.
At last, thank god, I can stop my fantastic observations from going viral.
Now you can opt out of having your posts shown to non-followers in the Discover feed. We know not everyone wants to go viral. Sometimes you're just posting for your followers. This is one of a few updates we're working on to give you more control over your experience and help you find your people.

I want to see the explicit argument against "larger groups". Surely under the internal logic of the piece there is very little to preclude two men and two women achieving organic bodily union adjacently, or perhaps in some temporal rotation. The obvious "disjoint union" joke writes itself in fact.
