I just checked this out. Very interesting, and their article on the capitalist élites’ exploitation of radical Islam to counter “godless socialism” is pretty acute. Also, that they point out that corporate funding, etc. of the Christian right here is much the same. I guess it takes one to know one.

Is this kind of thinking widespread?

Check out the extremely entertaining leftwing evangelicals at www.endtimesnetwork.com (they think US capitalism is the Beast of Revelation).
Interesting, too, that somebody among them thought to quote Kurt Tucholsky, who was kind of the Mencken of the Weimar Republic, only even funnier, if that’s possible, and more thoughtful. Don’t know if anybody’s ever translated him, but some of his pieces are among the great humor of the twentieth century. There’s one that pretends to be a school essay of an enthusiastic Nazi twelve-year-old, that I recall.
