Bryan definitely doesn't want to, but I guess I can agree that people who are against the core stuff (like the idea that food allocation should be done via market mechanisms) are way off base and potentially subject to Bryan's original critique

If you can get Bruenig to agree that "Neoliberalism is Actually Good, But With This One Neat Trick," great? Maybe I am oversampling on the 1999 WTO protests.

I get tempted to oversample from the libertarian subreddit, but I think it's worth trying to take the ideas seriously. I'm totally with you on most of those protestors being subject to Bryan's critique

These sovereign wealth funds as solutions to everything is like the one remaining issue I am wholly comfortable with falling back into old austrianism.
-
personally I think SWFs are overrated by people like Bruenig, but socialists who advocate for them are not subject to Bryan's original critique

My responses were not really directed at the original blog post. I would agree that high conscientiousness socialists, as presumably Bruenig is, are not subject to his critique.
