Now world order changes
Recent developments in world political scenario cannot but
marvel at the prophesy made by Richard Rorty in his amazing book Achieving Our
Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth Century America. Of course, that was made
in 1996. Experts from the book,
"M]embers of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled
workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even trying
to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being exported. Around
the same time, they will realize that suburban white-collar workers —
themselves desperately afraid of being downsized — are not going to let
themselves be taxed to provide social benefits for anyone
"At that point, something will crack. The non-suburban
electorate will decide that the system has failed and start looking around for
a strongman to vote for—someone willing to assure them that, once he is
elected, the smug bureaucrats, tricky lawyers, overpaid bond salesmen, and postmodernist
professors will no longer be calling the shots. A scenario like that of
Sinclair Lewis’ novel It Can’t Happen Here may then be played out. For once
such a strongman takes office, nobody can predict what will happen. In 1932,
most of the predictions made about what would happen if Hindenburg named Hitler
chancellor were wildly overoptimistic.
"One thing that is very likely to happen is that the gains
made in the past forty years by black and brown Americans, and by homosexuals,
will be wiped out. Jocular contempt for women will come back into fashion. The
words ‘nigger’ and ‘kike’ will once again be heard in the workplace. All the
sadism which the academic Left has tried to make unacceptable to its students
will come flooding back. All the resentment which badly educated Americans feel
about having their manners dictated to them by college graduates will find an
outlet."
