Richard still doubling-down on his bizarre argument that if you think a depiction of Welfare abuse should depict it's most realistic user demographic instead of "Woke" obfuscation of the issue, that you are a white supremacist, or whatever. A long strawman.
Nor can he explain why another demographic group, probably the largest group of net taxpayers, should should be happy with being portrayed as the go-to villain in every media depiction of undesirable characters, when the evidence does not warrant it.
I'm not white yet I'd be upset if a group I was part of was consistently the only acceptable one to portray in a negative light and used in place of other groups in various negative scenarios, the reality being that my group is one of the least or indeed the least likely to actually be involved (e.g. grok claims 2% of welfare users are young white males).
If Richard Hanania wants to assume the mantle for the speakership of the Smart Democrats - he's welcome to try. However, from what he's saying, he seems to see no fault in how the Biden admin ruled...
Anyone who glorifies Marx as a "system builder" - ROTFL! - is disqualified as a political thinker. This essay reads like an updated version of Richard's 10th grade essay, "Why the Jocks at Our School Shouldn't Be Considered Cool, Ackshully, McKenzie," which was roundly vilified at the time. I see his update includes a partial book report from a Marxist. Odd inclusion.
There is a veritable industry producing tendentious literature attempting to deny and obscure the leftist origins and nature of the Fascist movement, and instead to magically discover its symptoms in in whatever ideas or politicians the left currently doesn't like.
Indeed. Richard Hanania should at least have read "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. It gives a fairly good description of fascism, its origins and its different facettes in different countries. At its core, it is progressivist, and strongly modelled on the social, education and industrial policies of the Prussian state - THE model industrial state of the 19th century. Incidentally, that book came out early in 2008, that is before Obama presidency, and before Mr Goldberg became violently anti-Trump.
