Yours truly has a
longish piece at onlinejournal.com
today. With characteristic perversity, I find a lot to like in the one-party state.
By an odd, or not-so-odd coincidence, there's another
essay on essentially the same topic -- the structural relationship between Democrats and Republicans -- by Frank Pitz, in the same Online Journal issue. This is encouraging.
Pitz' piece is less flippant than mine, and he introduces the phrase, not previously familiar to me, "totalitarian democracy." I expect to get as much mileage out of this in
the future as I have for the last twenty years or so out of
C. Wright Mills' "crackpot realism".
