It's very Jacobin to pretend that the last-place mayoral candidate, a rich landlord, in San Francisco, the city with the worst housing crisis on the planet, has struck upon a useful and remarkable solution to bring down rents. The biggest problem in America today is that our socialists are the worst and stupidest socialists any country has ever suffered. We need better ones.

The problem is when the middle gets radicalized and the whole lot of them zoom off to the edge of sanity.
