It’s a Leftist fetish. They say they don’t want anyone in charge — or delude themselves into believing “we’re all in charge” by unfurling the Democratic Socialism banner above Leviathan. Strangely in a screed about promoting competition, the Warren team reveals a core tenet: they won’t tolerate even the perception of competition with the state. Witness the piece’s pearl clutching over large companies “acting like governments,” whatever that means. They agitate for making the state the biggest, baddest bully on the block: “It’d be a shame for something to happen to that nice tech company of yours.” But then when the eschatology of historical determinism kicks in, I guess the Elizabeth Warrens of the world will quietly abdicate. It’s a worldview riddled with holes. Maybe it is a form of masochism.
