Thanks. I'll try to read that. Skimming his wiki and some of the book reviews, I already know it'll challenge me.

My metaphor for democracy is social cognition. It's just a form of group decision making, collective action. Like an optimization algorithm. So I tend to focus on process and feedback loops.

I really struggle with Marxist frames, as I understand them. Like the phrase "democracy is a releveling of society" and "defense of the public sphere". I'm sure that I'll learn from his pushback against the enemies of civil society. Like Hoppe cited by 0xDEADBABE. What polite company now calls "neoreactionaries", but I generally use much more pointed pejoratives.

Again, thank you.
