Kellner explores the effects of historical crises of capitalism and Marxism on critical theory and reflects on the continued relevance or obsolescence of Marxism and critical theory. Kellner writes, "As we move into the 1990s critical theory might help produce theoretical and political perspectives which could be part of a Left Turn that could reanimate the political hopes of the 1960s, while helping overcome and reverse the losses and regression of the 1980s."
The above summary pits the Reagan Revolution (the "1980's") against the socialist/Marxist advances of the JBJ days and a supposed return to political socialism beginning in the 1990. It would be more accurate to assert the return of national socialism as beginning with the big government ideas of George Bush, ideas and policies that have laid the foundation for the radical Marxism we see in the Obama Regime. There are no pointie-headed Harvard academics who are not familiar with Kellner and his book. Kellner is/was a socialist professor at Columbia University and, now, at UCLA. Columbia is the same college Obama spent 12 summers teaching "Constitutional law." The two undoubtedly knew each other. . . . . .
Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
