Y'know, I used to think all the ‘80s stuff calling Reagan a Nazi was just proof of how wacky the left’ll get if you let them, but in fairness he did bring about a palingenetic renewal where they had been gearing up for a liberatory moment by suppressing labor power, boosting the industrial economy through armaments spending and taking a more belligerent foreign policy to crack open rival-empire markets, revalorizing nonurban petty bourgeoisie and the iconically traditional family, and shifting law and policy to concentrate a national minority coming off early signs of inclusion into degraded and stigmatized “ghettoes”
