Why Camille would support Sanders, I do not know. Nor have I ever understood some other things about her. But she is one of the smartest women out there; and has long been the ultimate disposer of feminist poseurs.

A worthwhile posting. Thank you.

"Why Camille would support Sanders, I do not know."

Because she's an aging hippy super lefty!! However, she is one of the few lefty pseudo socialists that I can respect because she is honest in her beliefs and writings. She is more of the old time lefty. She reminds me of Christopher Hitchens before he made the swerve to the right towards the end of his life. He was also someone who you could respect because he was honest, sometimes brutally.

Paglia is an incisive social commentator, and one of the few honest and intelligent people on the left. But she is still on the left, and thus, in view of her honesty, is plainly one of that species of leftist who is simply clueless about economics (as distinct from the other species of leftist — charlatans who understand economics and know their policies fall within the continuum from infeasible to destructive, but advocate them anyway as a way of gaining or maintaining power). Sanders’ base is largely composed of those clueless about economics.

I first started to respect her when I read her article in defense of men.
