“You’re just trying to smear Mearsheimer with stuff you’ve made up, he hasn’t said or done any of those things. He’s no leftist, he’s called liberal hegemony delusional. Your false attack on him makes me think you’re just some kind of shill.”
Nice try, Sparky. A real conservative would support Bernie Sanders for president, and would embrace the hard-left argument that income inequality is the greatest ill in America.
As for his opposition to “liberal hegemony,” that was a criticism of free-market capitalism on an international scale. He argued that our economic system (free-market capitalism) was doomed to failure if employed on a global level, but that it was more properly intended for national purposes. And then he criticized how the US implemented capitalism because it was so unequal. So, as he said the Soviets mismanaged communism, he also said the US mismanaged capitalism.
Actually the US has mismanaged capitalism, I can’t argue with him there. He’s a respected foreign policy academic and not associated with any partisan views or attachments. The fact that you resorted to argumentum ad hominin to dismiss him means you have no argument against what he says.
