Although I am certainly not a leftist or part of the progressive movement, I read this article in its entirety, finding it to be an interesting and thoughtful read until I got to the phrase “you can still be merciless towards conservatives.” Up until that statement, although we have different and even some opposing ideas about policies, I respected the author and what he had to say. I was open to listening to what he had to say. Why must you be merciless or encourage others to be merciless to conservatives? We are all human beings with dignity and value. For all your talk about compromise and working together, that statement tells me you engage in the same identity politics that you claim to be a detriment to getting things done and making a real impact.

This guy is a complete fool. He should be forced to give two examples of where Marxism has been implemented AND led to human flourishing. He can’t and he wont. Anyone who believes in Marxism as a means for organizing a society is an an absolute fool or absolute idiot. Or both. Just because he may be a good writer doesn’t change that one iota.
