I guess the surprise is not so much finding standard rightwing ideological
cant on a Foucault list but that it should be coupled with such
astonishing ignorance of even 20th century history, not to mention
the relevant writings (from Hegel/Marx on) that underpin necessarily
any such discussion. Simplistic bombast is not exactly foreign to
Foucault discussion, and certainly not to people who confuse
Marxism with communism and socialism and the Gulag, but it has not
been so common on this list before.
