As these examples make clear, liberal political theory often casts itself in the role of rule maker – or better, game designer. It devotes much of its time to worrying about what rules must be instituted in order to act politically, and it concerns itself primarily with how to justify those rules in a way that gives them the appearance of universality and neutrality.

Very good tactics for the writer of an academic paper. He says this fifty times and in fifty different ways. i.e., that American liberalism can not prevail democratically. Gosh, Joe Stalin could have saved them the trouble.

From www.memorable-quotes.com:

William Strunk Jr. - "The Elements of Style", 1919

Vigorous writing is concise.

A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.

This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
