Look, you don't have to convince me that capitalism is ultimately problematic and we should live in more anarchistic communities. You have some fine points here but the thing he specifically mentioned was as follows:

We need to build wind farms in order to shut down coal plants, but then environmental reviews (and NIMBYism) are blocking projects. You might argue the solution is to consume less power, but I think that we'll find that an unconvincing argument until the big collapse arrives.

Another example could be CA's high speed rail which has been continuously derailed (heh).

My main point is not in support of fascism but instead we often let perfection be the enemy of good enough.

As a final comment, I believe liberalism is morally bankrupt and that is specifically why I used the term leftist instead.

p.s. I don't think conservatism is making mistakes. they are fulfilling their agenda but they have different (and IMO problematic) goals. I've heard two things that can help put their arguments in perspective: (a) they believe the world is zero-sum; (b) hierarchy is something to be embraced instead of challenged
