[lbo-talk] creepy journal

[Doug Henwood]

Anyone know anything about a right-wing journal called The Occidental 
Quarterly? Reads like high-end intellectual racism. But it sounds a 
lot like some antiglobo activism - your average International Forum 
on Globalization partisan of "community" might half-agree with this 
conclusion from an article by Alain de Benoist:

"Therefore, to return to a Greek concept of democracy does not mean 
nurturing a shallow hope of 'face to face' social transparency. 
Rather, it means reappropriating, as well as adapting to the modern 
world, the concept of the people and community-concepts that have 
been eclipsed by two thousand years of egalitarianism, rationalism, 
and the exaltation of the rootless individual."
