SJWs are fighting over the dead carcass of the old world. The amount of damage they can do is fundamentally limited. The ethnonationalist right though, is threatening the living, growing thing. The amount of damage they can do is basically infinite. They might kill golden goose.

Can we do better than neoliberalism? Yeah, sure, We can and we must, since big new challenges like climate change seem out of reach for its institutions (it is *powered* by tragedy of the commons in the worst case). More critically, it is based on nation states.

Yes, that's the only place I'm looking :D Nation-states are not dying, but they are going to be something of a vestigial layer of the stack that's going to float up for ceremonial use, with more consequential layers like MNCs sinking below to be new bedrock.

I mean, that didn’t work out so well for ZTE. Inversions still need regulatory approval and the US government still has tremendous power to destroy markets on a whim. I can’t think of a major international corporation that’s out of reach of a determined US government.
