AG Barr: Democrats are now the "Rousseauian Revolutionary Party that believes in tearing down the system"

"They're not interested in compromise. They're not interested in [a] dialectic exchange of views. They're interested in total victory...It's a substitute for religion." pic.twitter.com/92Gx7GZFBo

Среди трампистов ругательным стало не только слово "марксизм", но и слово "руссоизм".

Генпрокурор Барр был, вероятно, вдохновлен сочинением некоего Уильям Смит из Католического университета (CAU) под названием "Understanding Antifa":

"With Rousseauism, we see a window into the modern progressive revolutionary mindset and Antifa. Like the Jacobins, who were so much influenced by Rousseau, Antifa objects to institutions that, they believe, are repressing the downtrodden. 'Institutional racism' must be overcome, they say, by attacking those who protect it, such as the police. Antifa does not offer a platform of positive change. In the fashion of Robespierre, they seek to overthrow “the privileged” and they assume that this violence and destruction will inflame an uprising that will usher in a pure democracy of equality."

Смит работает в "Center for the Study of Statesmanship" (CSS), который был основан в 2017 на деньги Кохов (Charles Koch Foundation). Среди его официальных советников - пропутинские демократы Денис Куцинич и Тульси Габбард.

В мае этого года он озвучивал кремлевские мечты, призывая поделить мир на сферы влияния и позволить наконец Путину разделить Украину.

"Sinic civilization would be led by China, Orthodox civilization by Russia, and Western civilization by the United States. Since the Islamic world has no natural leader, a struggle for leadership would take place between Sunni and Shia and between the leading nations of the Middle East such as Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
These core states are key to managing the challenges that would emerge in cleft nations such as Ukraine. Rather than sponsoring a proxy war in Ukraine and risking a bigger war, the leaders of the core states need to step back and acknowledge that both Russia and the West have legitimate claims in Ukraine and that a diplomatic solution is the only path forward. Whether that solution is a partition of Ukraine, a federation where the aspirations of both parts of the country are respected, or some other compromise—only sincere efforts at diplomacy on the part of Russia and the United States can solve this problem."
