“Democratic centralism.” Can that be interpreted as democratic statism?

There is of course, an additional possibility, a malignant one, the emergence of an anti-Western “Movement of Rage,” informed and disciplined by an ideology, like Nazism and Leninism, whose scope is civilizational, not merely national.

Ummm… that would be reactionary Islam. It isn’t ‘anti-islamic’ in the least to point out that there is a non-trivial grouping within the Islamic confession that is deeply anti-western and considers the spread of their beliefs as a hostile challenge to ‘enlightenment liberalism.’ This challenge would burn itself out against a West that was holding true to essential values of liberty and property. The statism-with-a-vote of our current crop of ‘leaders’ may not fare so well…
