Left-wing Reactionaries vs. Right-wing Progressives
Anti-powerfulism
This TCS article notes a trend that the Chief has pondered in past (pre-blog) days - that the political left has become a collection of fighters for the preservation of a status-quo in the world (i.e. anti-globalist, anti-free trade, anti-democratic). On the other hand, the conservatives are actively pressing and pursuing an agenda of extending the freedoms of western-style political economics to the world, including, as propounded by President Bush, the extension of free, elective governments worldwide.
A very interesting role reversal, that is worthy of close watching as it continues to develop.
