A talk by Paul Gottfried on How the Left Conquered the Right
I think Paul Gottfried tries to much to understand the modern political discourse with ideas from the early 20st century. Some of the ideas from that time really did loose in the public debate. Modern politics isn't about a struggle between left and right early 20st century ideas.
If you try seeing modern politics that way, you won't get very far.
He thinks that the wars that the US fights are fought to spread democracy. That's a very naive idea that doesn't really help you to understand how modern politics works.
