Government regulation is definitely a leftist idea and not something typically associated with the right.
- crooked-v 8y agoThat's far from "far", though.
- malvosenior 8y agoIt depends on the type and amount of regulation. I'd definitely classify Doctorow and this blog post as far-left.

It is a kind of "left" that maybe front some social issues (in particular gender as of late) but that can't bring themselves to really question the way things work on a really deep level. The kind of left that would not know a industrial or service job if it landed on their head. Looking over the wikipedia article on him, Doctorow may well be described as a professional activist.
