Oh how extremely interesting: Shane has identified another businessman/politician on the right fringe of establishment politics who comes to the defense of Putin against the confused liberal Western capitalists. Louis (and others) have pointed to numerous accounts of classical fascist groups enamoured with Putin's undemocratic character and happy to parrot his denunciation of Western imperialism. But this guy is more in the form of Paul Craig Roberts whose views also get propagated among the left, surely by those who, like Shane, marvel at how an establishment "conservative" has reached supposedly "left" positions. You'd think that when leftists keep finding such figures on the right echoing their own talking points, that they would take a step back and try to figure out whether the far right really "stands far to the 'left'" as Shane innocently puts it, or whether there might be something wrong with their own positions. - Jeff On Wed, July 30, 2014 18:32, Shane Mage via Marxism wrote: > > Stockman's is a variety of "conservatism" that, despite its > ideological economic eccentricities, stands far to the "left" (ie., is > clearly right) as against every variety of Liberalism or Social > Democracy. > > > http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/on-dominoes-wmds-and-putins-aggression-imperial-washington-is-intoxicated-in-another-big-lie/ > ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
