"Collectivism has been like a chronic disease in the body politic ever since the birth of Liberal Individualism in the 18th Century. For Locke, there was Rousseau. The American Revolution contrasted with the French Revolution and its guillotine. America had George Washington and Europe had Napoleon. Lincoln saved the Union as Marx was promoting Communism in Europe. . For the last 300 years we in the Western world have been living in the midst of a struggle between the forces of Liberal individualism and the forces of collectivism."

"Communism and fascism dominated much of 20th Century history as the alternative to Liberal individualism and free markets. Democratic socialism is still eating away at European societies, which grow poorer and more sclerotic every year as they continue to declare the superiority of their model to American individualism."

We are doomed to repeat history.

and the neocons are gonna repeat it for us....YAY!

Maybe. But, I suspect neo-conservatism is a passing fad in the realm of domestic politics. Internationally it is more viable in the sense that corporations are more global these days and really are not reliant as much on State manipulation as they are in moving global and internationalist policy. My thinking is we have more to be concerned about the from the domestic Leftists and International Socialists that brought fascism to us in the early 20th century.
The movement is profound these days and most are oblivious to it. Perhaps Neocons are part of the problem, but the myth-creating, totalitarian statism, anti-libertarianism, anti-religion, and anti-individualist, Malthusian movements are all coming from the far Left.

Don't get me wrong. I think Neoconservatism is a very dangerous movement rivaling Mussolini's style of government. I just think it is more of a symptom of our times and really a rather small movement, although currently influential, in the over-all realm of things.
