The UK, Germany, France, and Italy are all moving away from the Left (at least to some extent).
Jonah Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism: shows what the Left is really like.
Amity Shaeles book "The Forgotten Man" shows what FDR was really like.
This book by Daniel Flynn will help.
And many people on the Left are starting to realize that the Clinton's were low-life trash whose legacy is not a happy one.
Maybe -- just maybe -- the world will wakeup from the 20th century nightmare of Leftism.
We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

Note: Ayers is very likely quoting Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, with the phrase 'both possible and necessary' in regards to a communist overthrow of the US government. See these Yahoo search results for "bob avakian" + "possible and necessary"--Eye On The Left

As has been stated many times before, I firmly believe liberalism or leftism stems from the basic disbelief in human nature. Leftists are always hatching schemes to try to rouse and reshape human activity. Of course this has always led to the use of force and extreme punishment to achieve “perfection.” The genocides of China, The Soviet Union, and Cambodia are the logical consequences of leftism.
