Neo-Conservative

Posted on December 16, 2010 by stephenkmacksd
Definition: Neo-Conservative = The realization of a Platonic political vision, The Republic, founded on an active and deceitful paternalism, wedded to an unalloyed authoritarianism: Violent and murderous, without apology, willing and able to defend its exceptionalism as political wisdom, prima facie.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
