But the liberal foundations are great at buying off actual and potential radicals. Hire some as program officers, who can then feel like they're making a difference. Have them fund competing nonprofits, all fragmented and dependent, never building a popular base or working in any politically coherent way. It's a perfect way for liberals to feel good about themselves while sustaining the status quo.
