What do you believe Krein is recuiting for?

  Oh, it's always the same: hate these illegitimate oligarchs, these false elites, they've scammed us, their money is from nepotism, ours is legitimate, capitalism is actually fine, we just need to seize power from the parasites. Once they seize power, feel free to guess who they call parasites. It's absolutely neo-fascism. When Krein cries that 'white liberals' are now further left than 'most blacks' on race, that should be a big clue that he's concealing some very hot takes. There's no 'far left' takes on race, just like there's no 'reasonable centrist' takes on race. You're quite simply either willing to discriminate or you're not, you're a racist or you're not, it's a binary. Except to fascists, of course, who obsess over racial hierarchies and their pet theories! Given that Krein has probably intellectually developed while surrounded by extreme racists, he obviously thinks that racism has a spectrum of acceptable opinions and that he's maybe not so bad... He's smart enough to only hint at it, for now.
