Demanding that actions have to be "justified" to some nebulous authority instead of to a King or a Duke means that somewhere out there is a committee that will decide. No different for a business hiring people or a scientist or artist applying for grants both have committees.

Leftism is an ideology that enhances insider power to take over committees by setting out rules of cooperation *and* one that justifies *everything* being run by committee. It's no surprise that its actual adherents are consummate bureaucrats - it's their ideology.

Poor Paglia bought their bullshit about in whose name you had to justify all actions instead of seeing through it as bullshit. You don't establish a worker's collective to benefit the workers - you do it to benefit the people who manipulate collective decision making.

Their ideology is designed to exploit that. End goal - manipulate who serves on the juries (their friends). To get there they use all the other methods that work for them in taking over committees of all kinds. Fear of a ruler lets them do this https://twitter.com/hpcel45/status/1335972012175593481 …

This is why they work so hard to implant that thought in everyone's mind. "Can't trust a ruler, might do bad things. Can only trust committees" - like a slogan implanted via sleep learning from Brave New World.

I’ve read Paglia and am pretty confident she sees through the left’s bullshit. But maybe the larpers she’s talking about don’t? Which ofc is common, if suspiciously convenient. The same way many in the McConnell wing of GOP think they’re pro middle class/small biz.

That clip is her completely missing the point. The left isn't the surface - it's not an *accident* that it's dominated by bureaucrats - it's the ideology of the bureaucrat. That's her buying the surface bullshit about "the workers" and "the poor" completely.

The committee is inherently leftist because leftist means work to take over committee decision making. An assembly of male warrior peers has some but not infinite resistance to this power - if the committee itself is sovereign then it loses to leftism.

Paglia holds that historically, authentic ‘leftism’ is found in vulgar, populist challenges to ruling classes. This is at least arguable. 20th-century Progressive movement saw it appropriated by new, professional-managerial classes, at war with old-money owners.
