I'm not completely sold, but there are plenty of interesting ideas in there. That's one of them. It sure seems to explain the kinds of conversations you get about the Obama administration around a table of liberals.Do you remember the 1960-70 Marxists who said that the Soviet Union was not real communism? It was a kind of degeneration, of course, but where was true communism? Triumphant neoliberalism is liberalism as it reveals itself in history just as Soviet communism (or the even worst Asiatic versions) was communism inside history.
