There was no serious attempt to examine what kind of power the powerless wanted to assume, or over whom they wanted to exercise it,

That's quite an admission from a liberal, isn't it? I'm going to go read the rest.

Yes it is. I’ve seen similar revelations and it betrays a certain lack of depth on the part of liberals. It is as if they are scooting along on the surface of life not really comprehending the great pit to which they march. They judge goodness based on size and economy. The poor man is always the victim no matter how heinous the crime of the poor man. The big country is always the aggressor no matter how wretched and enemy they fight but of course this rule doesn’t always fit. There is Israel which always bad because of what is probably the core of liberal ideology which states that those who succeed must always have cheated or oppressed others to achieve success. This more than anything else seems to guide liberal thinking.
