I think "socialism or barbarism" is a good bit of rhetoric but I'm not fundamentalist about it. I don't think it's impossible for liberal democracy to stabilize itself again. Frankly, leading up to the New Deal I think people had a lot more reason to believe that liberalism couldn't reinvent itself than we do now. In this sense I think we need to be both dedicated to a popular front against fascism, but also insistent on pushing as hard as we can for anarchist liberation.

I don't think it's impossible that a president AOC or Pritzker wages some manner of transformational change to reinvigorate and stabilize liberalism on the scale of the New Deal (or like state pensions and the NHS in the UK). I don't think it's *likely*, but it's possible.
