He rightly points out that the threat from the right now is not (for the moment, my view) totalitarianism, but anarchy.
I would add, of course, however, that this frank anarchy which they now espouse, were it to come to pass,
(in my judgment, by the way, we have already had a mild species of political anarchy here for some time; even, say, from the founding of the republic!)
will very quickly, perhaps almost overnight, because of manifold problems of order which such an anarchy would engender,
morph into a new species of totalitarianism.
Political anarchy is, after all, a sort of political vacuum, into which more powerful, tractive forces, of whatever kind, will immediately move.
