I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen that much projection in a single article before.
Essentially every single thing that he accuses the left of planning to do is actually something that the right has already done, and is in fact one of the reasons that reform is necessary.
The most frustrating part of it is that it’s not simply that he self-evidently has no integrity and no principles, but that he’s a short-sighted moron. Like every useful idiot in every authoritarian coup ever, he’s defending the autocrats simply because their actions currently align with his shallow self-interest, and is completely oblivious to the fact that they could just as easily (and sooner or later will) oppose his interests, and by then, in part specifically because of his shallow stupidity, it’ll be too late to do anything about it.
Bill Barr is not the least bit stupid nor short-sighted. He is not a useful idiot. He knows exactly what he is: a member of and functionary for the capitalist class, and he knows exactly what he’s doing: fighting a class war against the working class. Autocrats’ interests always have and always will align with the interests of the capitalist class.
