Entry: Lukacs, Buchanan, and "Anti-anticommunism" Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/lukacs_buchanan_and_anti_anticommunism#28144 Post contents: I think Lukacs is wrong about the Buchanan book, but I think there is something to be said for anti-anti-communism. If the Cold War in many ways warped American conservatism, some perspective on Communism was actually in order. Not that Stalin didn’t commit atrocities, but was Communism ever a significant military threat to the US? I also agree with him about the problem with nationalism, but does that mean he supports Welsh and Scottish independence against British nationalism? I don’t know. I’m just asking. Britain has exploited nationalism for its own purposes as well. Sent at: 2009 01 09
