Opinion by Greg Sargent: Inside the weird nexus between reactionary capitalism and Trumpist right wing populism.
that politics is about “interfering with other people’s lives without their consent” and even that freedom and democracy are fundamentally not “compatible.”, Thiel melds libertarianism with a kind of reactionary hyper-capitalist outlook, holding that the lone visionary entrepreneur must not be constrained by popular opinion, government or even politics itself.It’s easy to see how this worldview finds an ally in the Masters-Vance view of our institutions.
All of this has created a strange set of ironies. Defenders of this new Masters-Vance populism like to say it represents a kind of Trumpism that could have broader popular appeal than Trump ever mustered. Yet its standard-bearers are on the forefront of casting majoritarian outcomes as inherently suspect.
What if this is in the very DNA of this type of populism, at least as practiced by Masters and Vance? As Matthew Sitman and Sam Adler-Bell, at a minimum adherents of this politics should wrestle seriously with this question. These tendencies are surely part of what appeals to Thiel about these candidates. And if they render Masters and Vance less electable in a general election, well, that would be a justly deserved outcome.
