"American conservatism lacks for political imagination. It's so influenced by business culture and by business modes of thinking that it lacks any political imagination, which has always been, I have to say, a property of the left....If you read Marx, you'd learn what a political imagination could do."
- Irving Kristol, quoted in a fascinating Lingua Franca article by Corey Robin on John Gray and Edward Luttwak, two rightwingers who've "moved left" in recent years <http://www.linguafranca.com/print/0101/cover_cons.html>. Robin and Luttwak will be my radio guests in about 45 mins <http://www.wbai.org>.
