Put aside for a second the question of whether a left government is feasible or not. Pretend it is.

Practical question: what would it mean for a newly elected left government to take a hammer to the capitalist state, the way Bannon talks about the trumpist takeover, by “flooding the zone”? Let’s say we get power tomorrow, what do we do so that by the time the right regroups we have completely changed the game in ways that the institutions (courts etc) don’t have time to react? How do we hurt them the way they hurt us?

    Wanting to hurt people is the one singular defining characteristic of maga. If you wanna hurt people so badly, go join ICE.

      Sure, go ahead, hyperfixate on that one word that also has plenty of metaphorical meanings that are commonly used in adversarial contexts.
