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?
