Hamilton, who wrote most of them, was pretty good. Read Radical Hamilton published by verso (or listen to the Radio War Nerd interview with the author).

Yeah my interpretation of Hamilton is an aristocratic republican, who was utterly disdainful of direct democracy.

But boy oh boy could he centralisé state power for national development.

And many of the folks on the Jeffersonian buzz wanted direct democracy so they could do slavery.

That much isn’t even in question. It is the Hamiltonion’s burden to defend why that would be a good thing.

Hamilton was a proto Fascist who’s centralisation of the economy destroyed any radical democratic base the American revolution might have had. He deserves the wall for the Whiskey Rebellion alone.

I dislike moralism so I try to avoid good/bad when looking at things critically, but as far as 18th century political projects went, the Federalists were pretty good. Idk much about Hamilton specifically (I haven’t seen the musical), but as their leader I’d be inclined to say he was good. I also wish we still had a national bank.

In contrast, listen to the RWN episode about the Whisky Rebellion (Episode 63 with William Hogeland).
