A key point: "If my emails are a guide, the London bombs have added a practical reason for breaking with the consensus: now they're trying to kill us. Even if people think that the Iraq war has made Britain a bigger target, they are still confronted with a fascistic cult of murder and self-murder which allows no compromise."
Thanks for posting this. Another liberal who "gets" it and is able to write so clearly how he arrived at his insights.
I wonder if the typical Guardian reader will even bother to read such "right-wing" heresy.
We must remember, though, many 'traditional' Marxists are against the idea of multiculturalism as well. Marxism would give privilige to certain values (democracy, etc.). Yes, their understanding and surely how to obtain democracy may be different from mine (and surely I disagree with many of them); yet, they believe the existance of universal values. The "PC" groups who support multiculturalism don't.
Of course, in many cases, the Leftists and Multiculturalists are overlapping, as they consider the 'cultural imperialism' of the W/"E'/C oppressed other cultures, just like Marx saw the ruling class oppressed the proletars.
"This guy is seeing the light when it comes to the war on terror."
It all reminds me of the NAZI/Soviet pact in WWII. The left supported Hitler then like they support the terrorists now up until the NAZIs attacked their hero Stalin. Nothing new here.
