How familiar are you with the author's work? I'm not familiar with it, but Wikipedia says they are a conservative and former Trump supporter.
Most people seem to consider American Affairs a conservative journal, and the author is its editor.
- tristor 7y agoMaybe I overstated my case, then. I am not familiar with the author beyond this piece. This piece, though, shows a very deep disdain for anyone who could be considered conservative and blatantly makes the case for statism. So, perhaps they are not left-wing, merely a statist. I tend to think there are more than one way to skin a cat, and statism is not automatically the correct answer. Their direct statements disagree.
