Fife sees Rand's libertarian bases in the woods and Smitty sees something more like Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

I wonder who has the correct vision of the future.

nah, nothing that bad, at worst more like the Great Depression, living in the ruins of a deflationary spiral

There is no such thing as “science” or “medicine” if they split along Party lines.

there is no such thing as party lines in a one party state

the only line is an iron curtain which you quickly find yourself deep behind

BTW, when I say we “lost,” this is what I mean. Not Parties so much because NeoCons hardly differ from Commies, but American liberty has been overrun.

it's the Commies, but it's not Stalin

Stalin would be a strong central authority, his was a personal dictatorship

this is the opposite of Stalin's Soviet Union

this is Gorbachev's Soviet Union

they are trying to save the Soviet Union,

but it is falling apart by way of a debt crisis, so it's just bread lines & broken down, nobody is in control

By the historical definition, NeoCons are Fascists: State over Corporations over liberty. Communism just makes the corporations State-owned.

the Neoconservatives were simply the Reagan Democrats, they were MAGA

at the end of the Cold War, the purpose of Neoconservatism melted away,

so the Reagan Democrats switched to Neoliberalism End of History

[Smitty-48]

don't think Cormac McCarthy's The Road

this is going to be more like Post Soviet Russia

Russia in the 1990's

chaos, disorder, nobody is in charge

at least until the masses turn to a Putin that is

it's the same epoch which took the Soviets down

they were just so weak by then they collapsed right away

America ran on for another thirty years, but now it is catching up to America too

[Smitty-48]

you may think that the world is being shaped by the masses, but that is not the case

the world is being shaped by geopolitics, from the top down

Hitler & Stalin did not rise to power because they were supermen, they were incited by geopolitics

the Reagan Democrat Neoconservatives were a product of a bipolar world, the Cold War frozen in 1945

Trump was actually product of Cold War Two, incited by the Neoliberals in 2002

history is back, geopolitics is back, interstate adversarial competition is back

Trump was not a Paleoconservative backlash against the Neoconservatives

Trump is the Neoconservative Cold Warrior backlashing against the Neoliberal "End of History"
