This is exactly the hell we’ve been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

The whole project of liberalism -- the idea that we could slowly reform American institutions instead of upend them -- has failed. On anything close to the current path we will see no meaningful action on climate change, no significant redistribution of ill-gotten gains, and no lasting checks on the ability of the state to carry out the type of arbitrary brutality that's the focus of this article.

It's time to think about which radical changes need to be made most urgently, and demanding those changes as a prerequisite to supporting whatever political leaders or movements emerge.
