Quick Thoughts on Transcendent Enemies
I really like Matt's "transcendent enemy" formula. Some nominations for that role: 1) "Wall Street predators", from last night's Obama speech; and 2) the "superclass", from David Rothkopf's new book, or some variation on it. The extremely wealthy or corporate CEO or similar categories by themselves aren't sufficient as transcendent enemies—it's the nexus of wealth, power, and actions driven by conservative ideology that needs to be the target.
