    Those who are disappointed with America are more likely to believe in the fake utopias offered by her enemieshttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/12/false-romance-russia/603433/ …

        Our Dominionists would be fine with the real "utopia" proposed by Ivan llyin -- Just with the Stars and Stripes instead of Russia's banner. Anyone who thinks the ideas of DeMaistre aren't current ought to think again.

        If anyone has fantasies of Russia, I urge you watch a recent episode of #90dayfiance where an American girl gives birth in Moscow . I also just encourage everyone to watch the show period.

        Spot-on observations, Anne. I recommend to anyone who reads this important article to seriously read, cover to cover, the indispensable book by late personality-theorist Erich Fromm, “Escape From Freedom” (or Fear Of Freedom), a very astute analysis of this very phenomenon.

        I reread this book once every decade, just because his observations are timeless and he wrote so well and comprehensively. (And because he, too, is from Frankfurt!).
