Michael Lind - America = The Regressives vs. The Modernists

Interesting take on the "culture wars," and it seems from my place on the couch a very astute one. Based on Lind's dichotomy, the postmodernists have totally failed to achieve any traction here politically - sorry Denis Kucinich.

So our choices are mid-20th century liberalism or 19th century religious and fiscal fundamentalism (revivalist Christianity and robber-baron capitalism). Hmmmm . . . how does one go about dropping out of the system entirely?

America in the age of primitivism

Forget Democrats and Republicans. What America needs is two new parties: The Regressives and the Modernists
