Message: Entry: Sometimes a Racist, Always a Slut Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/sometimes_a_racist_always_a_slut#25510 Post contents: John has made a brilliant and historically confirmable point, which I suggest en passant in After Liberalism. The ideology of the entire Progressive Era undergoes a radical facelift after the Second World War, and the obvious overlaps with Nazism are replaced with something foreshadowing the current Left. Thus eugenicists favoring government assistance to overhaul the human race start to advocate social planning based on anti-racism and environmental determinism. The feminist movement goes from defending the single family wage to attacking sexist gender roles and calling on the state to overturn the rigid nuclear family. What seems to fuel the change is more than a certain bizarre form of "antifascism." Egalitarian fanaticism also seems to lie at the heart of this transformation of the Left. But what remains the same is the attempt to enlist public administration in a war against the Christian bourgeois family and other inherited social institutions. Sent at: 2008 07 06
