The Left Power Elite Vs Donald Trump


The Left Power Elite (LPE) is at war with the 2016 Republican nominee. For them, Trump is - in Orwellian parlance - an "unperson": http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/09/29/dont-vote-for-donald-trump-editorial-board-editorials-debates/91295020/

Bruce Springsteen - no longer the working class hero

Less a working class hero than a celebrity member of the Left Power Elite (LPE)

Once upon a time Bruce Springsteen was a working class hero. That is no longer true: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/30/us/politics/bruce-springsteen-donald-trump.html

The FBI's James Comey is a part of a Left Power Elite (LPE)

This is C. Wright Mills banging on about a right-wing power elite in 1956, but "what about today's American society"?

C. Wright Mills (1916-62) talked about a 'new class' in America. As a leftist, he saw this 'power elite' as right-wing/conservative. It might surprise him, if he were around now, to discover that new ruling class is 'progressive'. We might call this power elite, which currently has the Clinton family at its core, the Left Power Elite (LPE). The LPE, from Wall Street to the Clinton Foundation and Hollywood celebrities, has commandeered America's capitalist democracy. Thus, it is spurious to talk about the FBI's "independence": http://ijr.com/2016/09/703663-fbi-director-let-hillary-off-the-hook-now-we-know-why-he-wouldnt-talk-about-the-clinton-foundation/

One more time - yes, Martin Heidegger was a real Nazi

Whatever.

According to Adam Kirsch, there is no getting around the fact that Martin Heidegger, anti-Enlightenment philosopher and patron saint of the 1960s German New Left/Greens/counter-culture, was a real Nazi: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/books/214226/heidegger-was-really-a-real-nazi

Obama the Great Divider

Barack Obama's identitarian ideology has far less to do with Martin Luther King than Malcolm X 

Here is my article from the September 2016 edition of Quadrant magazine: http://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2016/09/obama-great-divider/
