    This take is too anarchy-pilled. I don’t love the idea of a vanguard party but it’s hard to honestly argue something of the sort isn’t necessary to push things along until broad cultural norms shift far enough Left to be self-sustaining.

      I don’t really think the end result of progressivism is much of an anarchy either, although it definitely is a direct democracy with high degrees of liberty so it might be indistinguishable from the loftiest of anarchist theories. For example, I do believe in centralized production of power and food, traffic laws, gun control, etc which conflict with the bare definition of anarchy.
