A SWEEPING THEORY OF EVERYTHING IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Democrats are in thrall to the idea that corporate consolidation is America’s biggest, and maybe only, problem.

Excerpt: "Yet after talking to Lynn and absorbing his manifestos, I could not escape the conclusion that he genuinely believes his monomaniacal account. He really does think that he and his allies have discovered not a, but the, profound truth about America and the world. That monopolies function as a kind of Hegelian force that explains the movement and meaning of history. That he has precisely diagnosed the singular cause of the peril into which America has plunged for decades, and contains in turn the blueprint for its redemption.

Their fervent belief in this plan requires, almost incidentally, tearing apart the Democratic Party in order to save it. The trouble is that their theories don’t embody perfect truth, so the tearing might happen, but the saving part will never arrive."
