O Ideólogo do Partido Republicano: William Rusher

Uma resenha crítica da biografia escrita por David Frisk If Not Us, Who? William Rusher, National Review, and the Conservative Movement do ideólogo do partido republicano Americano William Rusher: the Syndicate provided much of the conservative movement’s ideological content and personnel, as well as its tactics and tone. Many of those tactics were borrowed directly from the Communist Party: manipulation of elections, the creation of front groups, intimidation, slander, agit-prop techniques, and an ends-justify-the-means approach. Rusher was rather proud of his mastery of what he called “the black art of winning conventions” and other political contests, but the darker side of the Syndicate’s influence is still felt today: it provided a template for a movement that knows very much about how to incite resentments and oppose establishments, but very little about how to govern.
