Lind Laments

Reader Fred Ray sends word of an interesting article (link requires subscription) in Financial Times by Michael Lind, the liberal-turned-conservative-turned liberal, lamenting the current disorganized and chaotic weakness of the Democrats compared to the “streamlined, authoritarian organization” and on-message efficiency of the Republicans.

Some of Lind’s history is off (such as calling interstate highways an example of the “robust state capitalism of the 1930s” when they were an Eisenhower project of the 1950s), but overall the article is a refreshing example of Democratic depression.

    Lind is correct if the “robust state” to which he’s referring is understood to mean Nazi Germany.
