I agree that maximum tent populism is the way ahead, but is it best to have the centralizing principle be what we're against? It seems like this could easily be re-framed to espouse a centralizing principle being for candid, open communication. If we frame it by what we're against, current institutions, then that invites those under the tent that may be inclined to use similar tactics if they had the power to do so. A commitment to open and candid communication de-facto puts you against current institutions for the reasons you describe and allows us to rally around a principle that is generally popular and positive, as opposed to being explicitly antagonistic.
