You make some great points. Another angle is that faced with the most prosperous economy in world history, Marxists have been applying their failed model to areas of the society that cannot be measured as easily as GDP and employment. Hence we see men "oppressing" women, heterosexuals "oppressing" homosexuals, whites "oppressing" blacks, etc. We are supposed to side with these proletariats, so to speak, in a quasi revolution against their bourgois masters.

I love Camille Paglia, but I think she falls in with the rest of the aging boomers in the academy, government, and the media who simply cannot give up the crusade of their glory days. She gave a great critique of the left, but I was left wondering why she doesn't simply drop it and vote Republican.

Abortion.

As with most otherwise nearly intelligent females, her intellect vanishes in visceral irrationality when that issue arises...

LOL...I was wondering that too.
