OH MY GOODNESS!!!
This is indeed E X C E L L E N T.
Yes, it’s a long read; at this point, I’ve been at it off and on since you sent the link and I’m about halfway through.
But I feel like I’m getting an undergraduate education in Machiavelli as well as Gramsci, AND their relationship, which is pivotal in understanding the modern day influence of both.
I have already identified more “pull quotes” than I have time to use.
THANK YOU! FRegards and Blessings!
P. S. How blessed we are to have those like Angelo Codevilla to study, think through, and ARTICULATE these ideas. They are the pointy end of the weapon of TRUTH that will eventually break through the lies of the Left.
AND THE TRUTH WILL break down their deceit. Entertain NO doubt!
Codevilla was a gem. He died last year. Check out his essay entitled “The Ruling Class and the Country Class” or something like that. Unbelievably prescienct.
