Muddled? Don't flatter yourself. The notion that Clinton will fund
development projects that will assist the "human or natural environment
across the world" is false to the core. Only a liberal would come up with
such a shocking projection. It is not based on Clinton's record as governor
of the state of Arkansas or his years in the White House.

A Marxist analysis of the Clinton presidency would focus on the ways in
which he is a continuation of Reagan and Bush. His attacks on minorities
and the environment are extremely reactionary. But you don't need to be a
Marxist to figure this out. Liberals at the Nation Magazine have even begun
to openly criticize him. At least, when they were supporting him up and
down the line, they didn't feel the need to quote Karl Marx the way that
Buford does.
