But at least the battle lines are clear. Every Democrat is going to have to ask themselves: Do I support the moral realism of the mainstream Democrats, with their pragmatic reformist temper, or do I support the progressives, with their utopian belief in human perfectibility and their willingness to concentrate power in order to take aggressive action on behalf of social justice?

The funniest shit is that the DSA, the boogeyman of the article, actually chooses option 1 (pragmatic reformism) too.

The second option. Even the way he says it still makes it seem cooler. The 'reformist temper' got us here. People willing to concentrate power in order to eradicate social justice are gonna need to be net with equal strength. He made up the whole utopian idea of human perfectibility, that's more the ubermensch guys and tech weirdos who wanna turn their brains into computers powered by orphan blood so they can pretend that counts as immortality. I'm pretty sure we just want innocentpeople to not be killed and for those of us who do the work to get what's ours. That's quite a far leap from whatever anyone would imagine as perfection. I hope he turns into a bug like poor Franz Kafka and gets eaten by a different bug
