hedges' morbid pessimism is the opposite of the intense optimism of the post-1991 political establishment. it's a product of a particular historical era but both outlooks are essentially irrational and more compatible with reactionary politics in the end...

in a sense it's true, in that what else is there to do from inside the political framing other than to enact ritual? if hedges wants to summon back true democracy from the past, it's a foolish endevor, because it never existed, and the conditions that made it more real are gone. and since we're talking about the a bourgeois parlamentary democracy, there is only one tendency to change, ever to the right. because there's a fundamental compatibility will juicing every bond and a will to self-destruction

in that sense he must be a reactionary

and? if you read most political authors they are for the destruction of all human life in nuclear fire or boiling the planet or explicit lesser brutality. this is what you get within the politcal framing. within the framing he's better than most people for rejecting that. he rejects it will moralism and ritual so futily, but so what?

no what's happening here is social democrats love their incrementalism and their place in things as a big loving tick slurping up profits from the rest of the world and so glue the right onto everyone that says mean things about it, so 'reactionary'. like with 'authoritarian' to mark stalism the same as nazism.
