When an article on a site called Liberal Currents starts making Marxism-adjacent arguments about disproportionate profit compared to contributions, I have to scratch my head about what the hell is happening.
While I don't agree with much of what Andreesen has said in recent years, I will say that given his central complaint is that Democrat elites have gone nuts, writing an article like this really doesn't help.
From the hyperbolic tech oligarchs slur, as if any of them have anything close to the power of an actual historical oligarch (a member of the Thirty Tyrants was the law, judge, jury and executioner) or even that of Russian "oligarchs" when the term was first applied to them, to the charge of treason, a crime that carries a penalty of death, and the promise of revenge - this whole article reads as unhinged.
Unlike Andreesen though, I can't pretend that Republicans haven't gone well past nuts.
