Re: Intelligentsia and Empire - in Iraq and the world



Chris B: >Now I do not know how many of the neo-cons ever had sufficiently
left-leaning Democrat affiliations to think of themselves as
"liberals" or still worse, as "socialists", but ideas are only
partially conscious reflections of reality according to the
dialectical materialist theory of knowledge.<

a lot of them backed US Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson (Dem-Boeing) for President back in the early 1970s, when they were in their formatie years. He combined advocacy of "New Deal" domestic policies with heavy Cold-War military/diplomatic attitudes. The people that I knew who were like this were very pro-Israel and anti-George McGovern.
