It is interesting to see how many "right wing intellectuals" refuse to make reasonable assessment in comparing different government options, such as comunism, socialism, fascism, and capitalism.
Instead they prefer to criticized using propagandists myopic view of our political and historical reality.
True socialism and Democratic principles are not a contradiction if they are based in humanistic values. Divorced from power and wealth for the few.. Humanistic values I repeat must be the real goal for a more egalitarian society.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
‘Right-wing intellectuals’ are not looking to understand, they’re looking to support a system that appears to be working for them.. The last thing they want are outside ideas that could shake the foundation of their power.
They’re the lackey’s of power, the talking heads supporting the status quo… Rewarded with book contracts, academic acclaim, media attention, access to evil, and speaking tours ... confusing the masses in order to prolong their gig appears lucrative.
