The irony is that people don't follow these connections that point to totalitarianism... and you can talk till yer blue in the face about it and most people will still say, "Eh?." Most of the people on this board know what others are saying, the lines of thoughts that are commonly shared but out there in the world, most people will still say, "Liberals = Communism ... UGH!" I even think that most Liberal MPs don't even make the common connections that we make on this board. If the MPs defer to academia they will see Queer and Feminist theorists as educated, well dressed, respectable people, who talk about "equality" and being "progressive" and about being more in touch with the European vanguard and how Canada is falling behind the new trends, and not quite as internationally fashionable or hip as we should be. They think that Canadians should not lag behind anybody if they're progressive and cool and have the smarts and resources. In other words, get on board the latest radical queer theory and Canadian culture will impove and thank you for it... more to the point, they can't see it as a train wreck!
