Globalized capitalism and free trade are by no means a wonderfully functioning economic system that increases prosperity for all, but rather an irrational and crisis-prone order that primarily produces losers. Trump's policies are a symptom, not a cause, of the crisis of globalized capitalism....

The TINA principle (“There is no alternative”) is linked to a way of thinking that sees politics as determined by unavoidable constraints and can only conceive of maxims for action within a given framework of capitalist order. The power of the powerful does not last forever; it will have to bow to the power of the one who saves and liberates the oppressed....

The political revolution of 2024 will not be a revolution at all if it merely exchanges one Deep State for another, one deception for another, one enemy for another, Iran instead of Russia, one target group for dehumanization instead of another, trans people or immigrants instead of white men.
