First Trotsky. Now Strauss. Has anyone here actually *read* any Leo Struass? I have read his Man in the City and his Writing and Persecution etc. There is *nothing* subversive about Struass *other* than that he is one of the *few* voices in philosophy who reject many of the core claims of the left etc.

While we're on the subject, has anyone here read any Trotsky? I love Trotsky's Revolution Betrayed, the best critique of Stalinism ever produced, and his history of the Russian Revolution reads like a novel, a brilliant novel.

Neocons rule. Get over it.

So called "neocons" are simply today's Clausewitzians. Von Clausewitz, adapted for the era of ICBMs, assymetrical warfare and no more aura of protection afforded by oceans.
