  Once you read past the first few sections that becomes exceedingly obvious. It basically turns into a rant.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a right winger advocate for “increasing state capacity and im­proving the government’s ability to solve problems itself”

      Really? I find that for some people the only criteria they need for a stance, whichever side they're on, is just to know how to stand so they're opposite the other side.

    Yup, especially this section sounds very true to brand: > nonprofit organizations hire convicted felons—including murderers, gang leaders, sex offenders, and rapists—who go on to commit more felonies ...because a criminal conviction is always 100% correct and should disqualify the person from ever being given a chance again, right? And of course, all of them will inevitably commit more felonies, after all they are born evil, they can't help it...

      The whole bit about "violence interrupters" being ex-cons, as if that was bad, when in practice that's a required qualification.

    From a UK perspective, this could also be read as a critique from the left - someone who's an actual socialist, criticising pseudo-socialist progressives, but not so far left that it turns into a gobbledygook screed. I think that sort of person is rare as hen's teeth in the US now, though.
