love it when anarchists say this because most "local community" councils irl in places like new england or small rural towns are typically deeply *right wing* and hate immigrants and queer people despite representing a "broad swathe" of the entire population. leftism is supposed to be COSMOPOLITAN.

They may hold views that we think are racist, but you can’t write them all off as ignorant white racists either, it’s a relatively diverse group. Many of them are stupid or ignorant, but millions of them also probably understand politics about as well as you do. They want different things than you.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

The reason the left needs to embrace this thought is that the only way to pay for Nordic-style social democracy in America is to raise broad-based taxes across the board, and we'll never be able to do that if we operate under an ideological principle that almost everyone in America is poor.

It's true, the claim more left-wing economic policy will weaken far-right popularity has been proven wrong. But the claim that adopting some of the far-right's social policy will weaken far-right popularity has also been proven wrong. Other people being wrong doesn't automatically make you right.

I don’t think leftists embracing populism realise how much they’ve owned themselves: they’ve made the economic world they envision even harder to get to by mainstreaming protectionist slop policies that shrink the tax base and make things more expensive for the non-rich to no collective benefit.

I want to expand on this in a short thread. Fascism sucks. It is also not going away: it is an effectively permanent part of modern representative politics because it is an effectively permanent part of human nature. We have to be prepared to push back against it, basically forever.

The politics of asking normal people to pay for their share of the cost of providing high quality public services will get easier if we start with taxing the ultra-wealthy at higher levels, even if the revenue that raises won't be enough.

It's not the top 1% or the top 5% or the top 10%. You have to tax the top 70% to pay for the social democracy we need. I make $95k and my taxes should be higher. Once again, with feeling: every nation with universal health care levies a VAT. Everyone contributes something. Yes, that means you.

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.

On the other hand, this is a great way to illustrate the spacial inefficiency of cars. It's good reminder that cars aren't a technology problem; they're a geometry problem. Or, as @doctorow.pluralistic.net succinctly put it, "Geometry hates cars."
