"anti-majoritarian" My sides now occupy all space in the universe. I guess the mask can come off at this point. "When you are a majority we'll demand you destroy your own society to cater to minorities. When you are a minority we will fucking crush you because we can."
When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
Only in today's feminized, non-confrontational democracy. In an earlier time, the minority would have taken their chances and fought the majority, especially if it's their lives at stake.
It may be apocryphal, but it goes like this: In the earliest democracies, men voted by raising their issued spears in the air. This sends a clear message to the minority: You will likely die in battle against the majority, so it was in your best interest to just let them have what they want, peacefully.
The Republican Party has become a de facto terrorist organization that embraces the use of political violence by members of the right against Democrats and progressives.
I wish this was true. You certainly deserve it. But instead we get Donald Trump, Trump style Republicans & Establishment Republicans condemning an unarmed protest of a stolen election and sending the FBI after good decent Americans that don't want their elections, their votes & their country stolen from them.
Ultimately, folk theories of democracy, with their assumptions about consensus politics based on a shared political culture and commitment to political institutions, are incapable of responding to a fascist and authoritarian movement that rejects such values.

Typo in the first two lines of the article. How are people getting paid for this?
Ooh. Now it’s getting scary.
They're now claiming that communism is a response to fascism? That's a bold inversion even for Marxists.
Both Democrats and Republicans are the enemies of the American people, both would lie to the people to get what they want
