Innocent explanation for "postliberalism": cretins like Paul Ryan, Romney call govt action that hurts their friends "socialism"; the "postliberal" positioning himself within DC debates, turns around and says, "Yes I am socialist. Socialism is good." Stupid, emotional
Regulation comes from oligarchs, it doesn't hurt them. It's a way they use to raise barrier of entry, which is why you could found a brokerage house in 90s with a few million and you can't now. The FDA covers for their chosen friends. Another reason "postliberalism" is stupid

Sophisticated critiques of Ryan GOP aren't necessary; and a lot of the postliberal "I'm the REAL nationalist" types are just trying to take credit for Trump's destruction of Ryan & co. in the 2015 primaries. The GOP rank-and-file already rejected Paul Ryan's views

GOP establishment are still around and had a big part in sabotaging Trump admin; but the solution is fight them politically, replace them. You don't need heavy theory to do so. In fact this is HARDER if you accept their slur of "socialist." It's an emotional reaction...

The slur "socialist" is not effective when used in campaigns e.g. against Trump or Oboma BUT you make it effective if you accept the brand yourself. Most Americans reject politicians who self-style as "socialist," or who use academic left language of class, "class analysis," etc.

It would be easy to get around this, just call preferred policies populist, if you must call them something, not "socialist"; and sell them on common sense grounds, not with "theory" verbiage or using vaguely Marxoid rhetoric that will turn off millions of MAGA supporters

Those who claim that "Capital" or technocapital is responsible for leftism are actually covering for the cabal of 500 and the particular organizations responsible.
Adopting this lingo will also make you sound like 70's Marxoid adjunct professor. Humorless, has no place on right
Tech guy (CEO of Firefox ) donates money to proposition preventing ghey marriage that passes in California. He was fired and blacklisted because of market signals apparently.

Weekly reminder Russia corporate tax rate is 15% and Putler doesn't go around talking about the inherent evils of Capital or "Neoliberalism" because he just threw treasonous oligarchs in jail and isn't interested in giving them cover
Talk of taxing corporations is COPE for not just being able to say " we want to arrest disloyal oligarchs and try them for crimes against the nation" like Putler did

Is "nihilistic" another word inherited from quarter-digested academic "political theory," like "ressentiment," to be used against "those who disagree with me"?

Pablo huffing and puffing too much. He might short circuit like Rubio in that debate. Let's just leave it at this

As I've explained in the thread and before, the problem is the ideas he promotes. They are bad ideas. You also have a funny definition of "America First"; to me it doesn't involve shitting on millions of MAGA supporters
Also, Vermeule and Sohrab are DC elites
