This nightmare pack of lies, apart from its howling generality and lack of supporting evidence, ticks many of the boxes of "thoroughly decent" academic work and ought to be harrumphed at approvingly, as "daring," by the reactionary professors and otherwise Established bloviators who signed the infamous Harper's letter against "cancel culture."
Despite the author's inexcusable failure to mention Tocqueville, the shining glimpse of "conservative" polity (is "polity" still a Soc Sci sex word?) might warm a lot of cockles in the Harvard Faculty Club, where the reins of power, gilded with virtuous Platonic falsehoods, still lie draped over an armchair awaiting the hero who can take them up. Some questions: 1) Could all this stuff, of which this piece is probably just a sample and not necessarily a directly influential one, suggest the actual emergence at some point of a new Red Scare such as the one put forward, as he advanced the cause of racial inequality, by poor, canceled Woodrow Wilson and sustained over the past century by Harvardized liberals sub rosa ? Arise ye prisoners of Marxism-- 2) Will Biden, Harris, at the bidding of their puppet masters (including Steve Mnuchin's buddies at Goldman Sachs), come out boldly against Marxism as they Run to the Right? 3) Will we see the right-wing Biden-Emanuel-Summers cabal announcing that "we" just can't tax the rich or cut the defense budget so, sorry, them Marxist entitlements (Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid) will just have to go after all--as Biden has maintained for over forty years? The highly consecrated Gov. Cuomo of NY has already drawn an unequivocal and per him unquestionable line in the sand against any increase in taxes on the upper brackets, and the Blue Dog-Republican alliance announced at the Democratic "party" so-called convention makes it clear that the outright Reaganites will expect their turn in the saddle of governance. If, as is conceivable, the answer to such questions is no or partly not, does this check to the traditional stratagems of Left suppression open up new avenues of advance? Does it on the other hand portend the self-defeat of Biden-Harris on the good old Hillary Clinton model--squawking about the Marxist traitors all the way down?
