"You Won't Win the Day by Treating People Who Merely Disagree With You as Stalking Horses for Socialist Tyranny"

"American right-wingers hate multiculturalism and gay rights and radical feminism for their own sake, not because they were designed to pave the path for communism. But the story has the emotional advantage of allowing them to imagine that the trends they despise didn't arise from a long history of the social abuse of blacks, gays, women, and immigrants, but from sinister machinations of commies striving to enslave us. Never mind that the unstoppable traditionalist 'cultural decline' of the last several decades has not gotten the United States any closer to public ownership of the means of production.
