Entry: The Revolution and the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_revolution_and_the_right#17384 Post contents: To Joe Populist: 1) "anti-imperialist" need not be monopolized by Marxists; Senator Taft and Murray Rothbard also opposed imperialism, after all. 2) neocon democracy-building is perfectly compatible with imperialism; besides, Krauthammer and other neocons gladly employ the term "empire" to describe their ideology. 3) I doubt that the US can restore the 19th century by returning to pure protectionism (Buchanan's dream); American producers could sell to American consumers alone back then; the US was her own best market--hardly the case today. 4) Even if one questions Wilson's decision to enter WW1, the isolationist success in reducing US forces in the interwar period emboldened Mussolini and Hitler--all the more reason to avoid the term.
