(Interesting how close Corbynites and Sandernistas are to each other 
ideologically. Will be writing something about A. O-C's interview with 
Chuck Todd tomorrow. It is no wonder Bhaskar Sunkara gobbled up the 
Tribune. It helps consolidate the social democratic (democratic 
socialist, if you prefer, left. Smooth operators.)


McDonnell has broken a pre-2008 taboo by naming the system and calling 
it a problem, but transforming capitalism doesn’t sound the same as 
overthrowing it. Especially since the Brexit vote and the anxiety it 
generated, McDonnell has positioned himself as the “long-term” planner 
to end the rickety years of capitalist fundamentalism. Years of 
divesting from the state has paid poor dividends: failing 
infrastructure, an undereducated workforce, and measly aggregate demand. 
“Jeremy Corbyn and I are the stabilizers of capitalism,” he has 
proclaimed, echoing the claim Yanis Varoufakis once made for the role of 
the left in our moment.

Bolivian vice-president Alvaro García Linera is to Evo Morales as McDonnell
is to Corbyn.
