Is it possible you might have forgotten to actually state the critique here, or is this maybe just pure libertarian ire? I am all for efforts to de-naturalize our conceptions of property relations, assert the primacy of collective solidarity, etc. but this feels like the wrong particular battle to make.. To affirm that the meager institutional trust one might have with their state is something hard won by collective action does not feel like a damning indictment of what he is saying, but perhaps I misunderstanding?

You have clearly gleaned some of the critique that I was trying to go for. So you can spare me the “actually”.

I am not terribly impressed by left-liberal technocrats. That’s the pet-peeve seedling whence my whole screed.
