The left must do a better job at saying āYES!ā to calls for small government and free markets to expose both for the semantic nonsense they are. Every progressive policy goal can be truthfully framed as shrinking government and liberating trade. When you actually do those things, none of the business press talking heads want them. They want big-government private sector welfare and a planned, protectionist economy propping up oligarchs.

small govt leftism feels like an alien concept among leftists, but imho inherently aligned with cryptoleft most leftists i know are either borderline anarchist or full on tankies, not a lot of nuanced inbetween i feel like smallgov leftism is a strong counter to much of the tired anticommunist knee-jerk rhetoric the left always gets, "communism is when govt does stuff", "Mao killed 50 million", "govt wants to take my toothbrush" etc can you point me to any literature or scholars aligned with these takes? i would love to further explore this field

It all boils down to being able to argue any oppositionās argument from the oppositionās position better than they can, because you know more about it than they do. I can argue for @thoughtcrimeboss ās actual policy goals as though Iām saying āyesā to a classic leftistās ideas too. āPrice fixing? Thatās fantastic! Letās fix the price I have to pay to subsidize high-salary nonprofit grants and social programs! 1% of sales tax max!ā āSocial safety net? Lovely! Letās be compassionate by letting each person experience hard work, knowing the safety net of merit can help them win, just like Democrats say about Kamala Harrisās life!ā I can point you to books like Thom Hartmanās āUnequal Protectionā on the invention of corporate personhood or David W. Nobleās āDebating The End Of Historyā on ācapitalistā economic myths. But the bigger problem is todayās social and search Internet pushing monolithic behavior-term attachment for ad targeting while demoting reframe.
