Very excited by Tony1Dime's book on how America is a uniquely anti-democratic liberal democracy, which nevertheless (through shit like how bombastic and seemingly consequential the electoral cycle is, especially recently after trump) produces enough legitimacy in its people to keep going.
Like, this ballot access restriction is the type of shit they accuse venezuela of doing
What book? What’s it called?
It's not out yet (spring 2025) but it's called "Freedom to Change Nothing: The Spectrum of Managed Democracy and What Makes the US Different", which will probably delve into ideas that Tony has been talking about on his channel and on Sheldon Wollin's idea of the american system as "Inverted Totalitarianism".
