[Eric Beck]

Sure. As always, capitalist democracies oscillates between its poles,

But it's worth thinking about why Trump instead of some other option. It's
even way more thinking about, and worrying about, the range of
possibilities of forces that Trump can merge and the directions he can lead
alliances. It's annoying Marxist hardtalk to pretend he presents the same
politics and governance as, say, Obama.
