  1. Well the cause for political factions is class distinctions, so unless equilibrium is reached in socioeconomics expect class interests to play a role. Than you have the ideological rift. Liberal vs Conservative. Proper conservatism is about hindering radical progress to maintain order and stability. Proper liberalism seeks to advance and progress. Jefferson said that the ideological division will always be those who distrust the common people to look after themselves and choose aristocracy/oligarchy. And those who have faith in the common people to know what’s in their best interest, if not always making the wisest of decisions. Jefferson identified with the latter, a democratic anti-Federalist. Washington wanted to avoid factionalism, but politics in itself is the administration of a polity. Perhaps the best way to avoid factionalism is a more decentralized model of bottom-up republicanism. Subsidiarity as it were. People making decisions from the local > county > state > national. This was the vision of Ward Republics Jefferson held. Though the Federalists were nationalists not concerned about political administration, but in national state’s crafting (creating a nation-state). However there has to be a way to equilibrate class antagonisms, or undo it, if there is ever to be no factional interests. The Founding Fathers did not have the advancements of science, technology , sociology, and economics we have today. What we need is a political and economic reformation and restructuring. Otherwise revolution it is.

  3. It seems people, even unfortunately people on the Left, misunderstand what an actual anti-war and anti-imperialist position is. Essentially the refusal of supporting nationalist wars and working people being used as pawns in the schemes of capital accumulators. It is also protest against the use of working class people to go invade countries to kill fellow working class people that have more in common with than the empowered elites that send them to war. Gabbard is not anti-war, definitely not anti-imperialist.
