Harris picked one. Let us know he knows there were other options.


John, my reaction is:

1) You are really picking nits.

2) You are evading the point of the article.

He sums up the point of the article in the last two paragraphs. It is:

A) "America is the sine qua non of any future progress that mankind can make, no matter what direction that progress may take."

AND

B) The belief that mankind's progress, by any conceivable standard of measurement recognized by Karl Marx, could be achieved through the destruction or even decline of American power is a dangerous delusion.

he's still caught up in Cold War rhetoric

No, he is showing that a major issue for the left today has roots in Marx. Nothing wrong with that. Marx "Integrated" Socialism/Collectivism. Almost everything on the left goes back to him.

IMO, you are being too sensitive to the "He is calling me a Communist, that's McCarthyism!" syndrome. I think you are the one that is "still caught up in the Cold War Rhetoric!"
