    There's a long history of neo-conservatives trying to appropriate Rustin, going back to Norman Podhoretz in the 1960s/ While it's true that Rustin was friends with who headed in that direction, he was always a social democrat.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1101251172927721474 …

    An interesting letter from the NYT archive clarifying Bayard Rustin’s position on affirmative action. https://www.nytimes.com/1987/10/03/opinion/l-rustin-fought-quotas-not-affirmative-action-769887.html …

        I remember getting into a fight with Noah Rothman about this a few years ago... and then when he helped put together that "African Americans vs. Jews" Commentary issue, I considered myself vindicated.

        You could be a left-winger and a neocon at the same time look at Cristopher Hitchens beyond I see this days some nominal Sanders supporters retwitting 24/7 neocon arguments and eventually a defense for Medicare for All

        Joshua Tait Retweeted Joshua Tait

        When the Village Voice charted the neocon universe in the mid-70s they put Rustin as a fellow-traveller. When Esquire did it a few years later they had him as "welcome for dinner." https://twitter.com/Joshua_A_Tait/status/1027382525981687809 …https://twitter.com/Joshua_A_Tait/status/1000009628049080321 …

        Before they were neoconservatives, they were the Right-Center Establishment or the Military-Intellectual Complex (that's great). I love these charts. pic.twitter.com/oDQsWi24iL

        Social Democracy is indifferent to whether Culture is part of the substructure or the superstructure. It only wants to change the actual substructure enough to ensure this debate goes round and round in circles enough times for most people to get bored and move on to better. 1/2
