We ask Marxist economic geographer and CUNY professor David Harvey about how to discern incremental reformism from true revolutionary change, what Marx would do if he were a squad member, and what Harvey’s post-capitalist fantasy looks like.
I agree, but she’s slowly being disabused of that notion by reality. A highly ideological third party that only takes small donations and mirrors Cuba’s direct democracy in it’s primaries will still have to negotiate with power structures hell bent on destroying it, and negotiate with an oppositional party wholly entrenched with capital.
Having a mechanism outside the political process with real power that can grind to a halt the things that give the duopoly power ($$) is far more important. And I think she’s kind of realizing that.
