In a word, yes. But I just wanted to make sure that my opinion as known before posting this article. It really is an interesting read and not nearly as partisan as you might expect. My favorite passage is this:

“In today’s democratic societies, organizations share power,” two intellectuals wrote some time ago. “Corporations, churches, universities, hospitals, even public sector bureaucracies make decisions through consultation, committees, and consensus-building techniques. Only in politics do we still entrust power to a single faction expected to prevail every time over the opposition by sheer force of numbers. Even more anachronistically, we persist in structuring the governing team like a military regiment under a single commander with almost total power to appoint, discipline, and expel subordinates.”

Truthfully I just tried to make a headline that Rerun would be proud of, but it is an interesting piece regardless of what you think of the CPC policies.
