Description:
In his widely acclaimed autobiography Radical Son, David Horowitz chronicled his defection from the New Left. In The Politics of Bad Faith, Horowitz combines his extensive knowledge of history and politics with a provocative look at today's "progressives" to create a biography of the Left, beginning with its origins in the French Revolution to its contemporary incarnation as a refuge for those who refuse to acknowledge the lessons of history -- and the realities of human nature.
Expand description
Horowitz argues that despite the decisive victory of democratic capitalism in the Cold War, the defense of the socialist idea continues to torment American politics and society. He presents a detailed analysis of why Marxism failed in the Soviet empire, a scathing indictment of the progressive attitudes which dominate academia, and an account charging that radical politics led to the devastating mismanagement of the AIDS epidemic.
