The New Political Economy
Your father’s politics don't matter anymore.
In two short years, the political spectrum that we knew has become wholly irrelevant.
When was the last time that policies regarding the national budget, welfare, gun control, minimum wage, international trade, or climate change had a significant impact on your day-to-day life or those of your children? If they ever did, it was likely nothing compared to the effects of regulations for COVID-19, Critical Race Theory, and transgenderism.
It used to be that the political economy operated in this manner: policies were the currency required to purchase the product that is virtue, and power was the machine by which an entity could transform the former into the latter. Now, however, virtue has become the currency to purchase power, and policy—which has expanded to include social guidelines—is the machine through which that occurs, and the only sides are Communist and anti-Communist.
