History should be about every generation's will to power.

I can fight for something in the name of democratization, although I don't use that word a lot anymore. Come on, man. I hate democratic capitalism.

The sad thing about Trump is that everybody is secretly really relieved he got elected, of the people I know - the professional left and academic left.

History should be about every generation's will to power.

Any democratic sentiment propels my politics.

There's more roles now to fill since Trump's in. There's this refusal of power. I think progressives are actually literally uncomfortable with the exercise of power, because of what you learn. When you're too educated you understand the total disconnect of the exercise of power.

When people access the use of force for the threat of violence they have, by definition, a new political power. An unwanted political power.
