Agreed. It's very stupid, but at least it's meant to be silly and lighthearted, unlike Patrick Bond's equally stupid article in that same publication, which is apparently supposed to be serious. Nationalist solutions to neoliberalism, eh Patrick? Nice. That's always worked well in the past. So this is your answer to Doug's Keynesian advice: Keynesianism with more robust national iterations, which are necessary because grassroots participation isn't yet what it should be. Not only terrible advice, but despicable as well.
