I love Berny, but he's wrong on this one—the Left really does enjoy institutional hegemony rivaling late-19th & early-20th cent. Protestantism. He also misses Rufo's larger point: such hegemony entails collapse of public/private distinction & proves itself thru ostentation. 1/https://twitter.com/bernybelvedere/status/1368955780234420227 …

Replying to @justindeanlee
Appreciate it. My point seems to be pretty self-evident, as it's drawn from the literature of the Left—Gramsci, Marcuse, Freire, Mao. They explicitly make the case to destroy the old culture ("the Four Olds") and replace it with revolutionary culture ("critical consciousness").
