Sanders, Warren, AOC revive democratic ideals

Yes, democracy. You know, that of, for and by the people thing. This article shows that what they're proposing has a long American history going back to Jefferson and Debs. The underlying tension has always been: Is capitalism consonant with or antithetical to democracy? And the answer has proven time and again to be the latter. Again, see my IR paper "From capitalism to the collaborative commons" for how we progress beyond a defunct capitalism.
