Preventive War, Pro-Americanicanism and
Anti-Americanism.
Protests against the war in Iraq or against American support for Israel
have led to the accusation that there now exists an Anti-Americanism of the
left that is virtually indistinguishable from an Anti-Americanism of the right.
D. Losurdo points out that the United States was actually endowed with a
certain fascination for Marx, Engels, Lenin, Boukharin or Gramsci, and that
the indignation which they voiced concerning the regime of white supremacy
was not unmitigated. In contrast, an American Herrenvolk democracy met
with widespread admiration in the leading circles of the Hitlerian regime,
while American racial theorists such as Ford and Stoddard received a warm
welcome in Berlin. The current celebration in the US of the imperial
presidency on the part of fundamentalist Christians, along with the contempt
recently shown toward America's « allies », stems from an exclusivist
nationalism which harks back to this tradition. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
