Entry: Generation 911 Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/generation_911#4779 Post contents: I stand by my characterization of the "consumerist post-bourgeoisie" as bourgeois liberal in at least the fundamental sense, and, I would argue, in certain ways indeed more so than the historic type. To be strait and to the point, they are not leftists of the old type in that they have no desire to resurrect the New Deal or the old popular front narrative of "national greatness", and insofar as they are culturally Marxist they are rarely of an ideological bent or commitment. If they can be accused of hating Bush for misguided, though usually right reasons, there is one thing that the crude caricatures of "red" and "blue" America have in common on foreign policy - each, with their own rationale, supported the American empire as long as it meant splendid little wars like Kosovo, but not when it means our present situation.
