      I’m not “worried”, I guess I would essentially conflate Jewish and secular here—cosmopolitan, leftist intellectuals are the dangerous category; Marx and Trotsky are both secular and Jewish.

      Replying to @yeselson @HeerJeet

      To some extent I'm thinking about people like Jonah Goldberg, who was part of this discussion in the 2000s-2010s as a neocon-cum-conservative, who is no one's idea of a Trotskyist, yet didn't buy the Trumpist argument.

      I'm just spitballing here and your comments are very helpful - defining terms is hard but important and twitter lets you get away with not doing the hard work.

      Yeah, no worries, I was just trying to tease it out—I think if you really take the quote seriously, you end up with Marx as a quintessential intellectual of modernity—*the* quintessential intellectual really, along with Freud (ok, Nietzsche too). And he embodies Jeet’s list.

      I remember it being very religious in nature (hence Feuerbach), but I'll reread the piece!

      Feuerbach carries a lot of connotation in this debate because he was both a harbinger of secularism and an important influence on Marx.

      Yeah exactly. He’s key for the early Marx.

      The different reactions to Trump within the conservative intelligentsia don't map perfectly onto old divides but they do suggest that those divides still have influence.

      What older faction among the conservatives intelligentsia do you think has been most prone to support Trump? Paleos, but any others?

      I'd look at generations. People old enough to have formed their politics before Reagan or young enough to not remember him.
