“So in over the past two generations, we’ve had a shift to ever-greater corporate power. And it’s been made possible by the idea, the incorrect idea too often endorsed by kind of the establishment GOP above all. You know, figures like Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney, that coercion is only what government does to us and that we don’t face coercion in the private economy, in our lives as workers, as consumers, as citizens. And this is actually an alien idea in the Republican Party. And I mean that in both the capital R and the small r sense of Republican in that tradition.” — Sohrab Ahmari
