Great little essay for normies on the cold civil war that avoids the "crazy".
"modern American liberalism, under pressures both fiscal and philosophical, would either go out of business or be forced to radicalize. If it chose the latter, I predicted, it could radicalize along two lines: towards socialism or towards an increasingly post-modern form of leadership. Today it is doing both."
These are offered by Hillsdale College a private conservative lib arts school. Rgeardless of what you think about them, the essays are always pretty good.
