Every democracy produces an elite class that does most of the actual ruling. Hugo Drochon's recent book asks how that squares with political equality—a kind of “tough love" tract for democracy's friends. Superb review by @mattpolprof.bsky.social

"Eugene Debs may be an inspiration for some prominent politicians, but most of the political forces he struggled against are as powerful as ever." @mattpolprof.bsky.social reviews Shawn Gude's pathbreaking new biography of Eugene Debs: www.commonwealmagazine.org/mcmanus-gude...

And Matt makes the excellent point that scapegoating the left is itself a classic far right move.

Considering a lot of Mises Institute types have rather famously aligned with the far right and essentially zero Habermasians have (for what I hope are super obvious reasons) I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s Hoppe’s libertarianism and not his critical theory training 🤣🤣🤣
