I mean they control the means of production, which is a pretty big trump card
Indeed.
As for the Republican Party, I'd say they're a model of political organization to be emulated by the left. I wish we had a left-wing version of Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush somewhere.
The Democrats are brilliant in being able to convince the majority of workers in this country that they're on their side in spite of being bankrolled by Goldman Sachs and Google.
Libertarians have written a lot of really good stuff.
Reason is one of my go-to magazines, even though I disagree with it on anything not directly related to civil libertarianism.
The far-right has likewise a few utterly brilliant polemicists.
Radix is one of the better far-right journals, and even though everything they write is hateful bile, its incredibly well-written and I'm jealous at how articulate they are and the degree to which the far-right has been able to assemble itself as a viable alternative to the political mainstream in spite of it being in the political wilderness for close to 80 years. The far-right also handles sectarianism better than does the far-left, and seems to march under a single banner even when they do have significant disagreements. Communists could learn a lot from them.
