The Left Is More Noble Than the Progressive Left
The left is generally more noble the progressive left in terms of the ends that they direct political power towards.

They kind of hand wave that away and instead imagine the state is just this kind of consensus mechanism. It's us working together. Any problems it has is just because we don't have the right people in charge, he says.
