it is intentionally loaded in one direction.  nearly all neoliberal-era right-wing ideology is banal and uniformly uninteresting, reducible down to at most three or four simple points.

Really?  What are those "three or four simple points?"

privatize profit, socialize costs.  concentrate power as far as possible from the political sphere; ie, undermine democracy. 

often tinged with an essentially contradictory moralism.

respect the sovereignty of no states or peoples, other than the US.  open the entire globe for the exploitation of its labor and natural resources for purposes of private profit.



'neoconservatives' typically come with a heavy dose of the moralism and are more willing to achieve the bottom point through the use of naked military force, rather than through more indirect means (CIA, economic pressures, etc.)

he's a pragmatist, but also very committed to protecting the privileged access of groups to wealth and power: whites, men, by class, and so on.

Young Tweed is pretty difficult as he ranged at times from a constine-esque Moderate Hero to a Marxist-Leninist. Are you referring to the median, the Daily Kos-style hack liberal Tweed?

refer back to my last display name, prior to the change a half hour or so ago: Tweed, as you understand Him

And is Ben really that right-wing? He seems like a leftie to me, admittedly one that's pretty hawkish.

Ben wouldn't be able to explain what left-wing ideology is if it were the prompt to the essay section on the SAT.
