A review of "Without Marx or Jesus: The American Revolution has begun". In fact, Revel was right. The radicals of yesteryear have become permissive liberals who vote Hillary Clinton and want a world war with Russia. I´m not sure if this counts for "revolution" though...
Jean-Francois Revel believes that the world revolution
will start in the United States. Clearly, there is something wrong about *that*
scenario, LOL.
It turns out that "revolution" to Revel simply means a more permissive, liberal and postmodern form of the status quo. He likes Playboy, mass consumerism and nuclear power. The author even calls for a World Government! You heard me. He doesn't like Cuba, however.
I stopped reading this half-way. Honestly, what's the point? In effect, Revel is suggesting that hamburgers and french fries are "revolutionary". He is something as original as a pro-American hippie liberal.
Nice try, Jean. Not!
