The roots of equalitarianism, later thought of either as left or right (the West), lie in Christian religion (none other), and not in (the strictly Western discipline) economics.

J C D CLARK LECTURE RE HIS BOOK ON THOMAS PAINE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQin6KDobhI
"African Slavery In America" is not by Paine.
Paine, it turns out, was neither an anti slavery nor an anti imperialist activist.
Although he hung out with Mary Wollstonecraft a lot, same circle, apparently, he took no activist interest whatsoever in the Wollstonecraft's rights of women as a cause, according to Clark.
Paine cared as little about emancipating women as Lincoln.
Zero!

WHEN ELIZABETH I ACCUSED PARMA AND PHILIP OF ENSLAVING LOW COUNTRIES REBEL LOW LIFES
They were talking about white Low Countries low lifes, not Africa negroes whom they were all buying from Africans and Muslims in Africa.
It was this kind of hyperbole later picked up by American colonies low life traitors claiming enslavement by George III, even though they freely owned and trafficked in negro slaves.
Samuel Johnson made the point quite well.
None of that rhetoric kept these enslaved white enslavers from fighting and displacing eachother when opportunity presented itself, in New England and New Amsterdam and the West Indies and South America in the New World, and between their respective trading empires elsewhere in the East.

Travellers to Kenya from southern African nations must show proof of a negative PCR test in advance, then quarantine on arrival and undergo regular testing thereafter, the country's health ministry has announced.
It follows confirmed cases of a new coronavirus variant, known as B.1.1.529, in South Africa, Botswana and Hong Kong.
Kenya has not announced immediate plans to ban flights from South Africa. Its national carrier Kenya Airways currently operates two flights daily to Johannesburg and three to Cape Town.
The country’s Director General of Health Patrick Amoth says that although passenger traffic may not be significant from Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini and Zimbabwe, enhanced surveillance protocols will be introduced.

"here's a lot about the "both sides" frame that is eminently questionable. It's not so much intellectual arrogance that hampers the messaging of Obamacare and Build Back Better. It's the desperate need to appease a handful of "moderates" in both cases who are more interested in compromise for compromise's sake than in good policy. The Democrats were not and are also not helped by a media ecosystem where the right has a ruthless and deceptive new network on their side while the remainder is compelled to show they're not Democratic supporters. Blaming radical intransigence for torpedoing bipartisan compromise is silly. How much bipartisan legislation have the Republicans sought to pass since No Child Left Behind? As for identity politics, Kaiser would be manifestly helped if he got his knowledge of feminism from somebody other than a charlatan like Camille Paglia. The one actual example of unpatriotic extremism he mentions, Noah Feldman, is not only not an Anti-American radical, but in fact a squishy centrist, praising the good faith of Kavanaugh and Barrett in just the last three months, and generally being the Pollyanna of the court circuit. But actually it would best to refer to this article, which challenges the whole generational frame he has applied with Proctrustean subtlety for the last quarter-century: https://newrepublic.com/article/164374/end-generation-wars "

This new disclosure raises new questions in all directions.
The Chinese had claimed that the virus had been imported into China from outside,
Yet, on the other hand, there are large Chinese expat communities in various European cities, particularly several in North Italy which have been the subject of several prior posts here.
If the emergence of the virus occurred that early, why did it take so long to break out into the epidemic seen in North Italian cities?
On the other hand, if the emergence of the virus occurred that early, why did it not spread sooner and more widely in southern Europe?
Further, if it emerged that early anywhere, or wherever, why was the epidemic seen in Wuhan so late, ostensibly, in developing?
It seems highly unlikely that the Chinese would have intentionally introduced this virus only into Europe first.
In the first place, they have had no vaccine for it themselves!

THE RHODES TRUST MILNER GROUP ROUNDTABLE PUBLIC OPINION QUIGLEY WEINBERG THE TIMES
Weinberg spends a lot of time explaining toe influence of public opinion on the calculations and deciwsions of British politicians in the 30s.
He lets slip at one point what this so called public opinion really meant, at volume II, p. 120. See especially fn 87.
This Weinberg slip dovetails with Quigley's Chapter on The Times, especially, in The Anglo-American Establishment.
Weinberg was certainly in a position to have cited Quigley, in 1980, but omitted a full discussion of this crucial aspect of the political, diplomatic, and propagandistic situation.

RE THE FALL OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE? DK
Professor
"...Our nation, as I have seen clearly reading early presidential addresses, was founded on the principle that human reason could promote the greatest good for the greatest number, and that elected governments could work...." DK
My suggestion is to look instead at Bailin, Ideological Origins; Clark, The Language of Liberty; and to a lesser extent, Palmer, The Age of the Democratic Revolution, and Catholics and Unbelievers.
None of the founders, or any president before the Civil War, certainly, ever dreamed of such a thing as "the greatest good for the greatest number". That is the purest of Whiggist historicism.
All the best
Professor
Very kind of you to take issue with this flagrant remark.
It is great, it seems to me, to do something now unfashionable.
Yet, I think "None of the founders...' stands quite firm.
At least Van Buren and Harrison, however, do ante date the Civil War.
But Grant does not.
I do not know what they mouthed in speeches.
Perhaps, as you assert, it was Benthamism.
His first works were knee jerk atheist reactions to Deist William Blackstone's Commentaries.
I very seriously doubt that any of them, founders or Presidents, were ever rank utilitarians.
This is it, more or less:
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/utilitarianism-history/
All the best
I will just add, as a kind of footnote and reference, Clark, J. C. D. , Our Shadowed Present, especially pp 124 through 137, and other references to Bentham, Mill(s), Index; Clark, Thomas Paine, Index, Bentham.
The earlier British Empiricist formulation had read something like:
"The greatest sensations of pleasure and avoidance of sensations of pain for the most Englishmen."
The American rebel colonists were neither actuated nor informed by Reason, Locke, or Utilitarianism.
Bailyn made this enormous fact plain in a wonderful book, cited above, which won both the Bancroft and Pulitzer Prizes.

RE DAVID KAISER'S RECENT POST: DOES DEMOCRACY DEPEND ON LITERACY? ANSWER: NO
Why not just advert to Ancient Athens, the home of direct democracy.
Could they read or write? Seldom.
But really, why not now also turn, to the archaic human genetic and archaeological record, seemingly now emerging, of what some liberal Whig paleogeneticists characterize as an age of Rousseau esq, Lockean, hunter gatherer, leaderless, equalitarian, small group, democracy?
According to this story, they were leaderless, but made decisions, such as they ever made, together, or often not at all.
They had no hierarchy. None.
They were all utterly illiterate.
They possessed some level of orality.
They were pure, primitive, good, hunter gatherer, Democrats.
They had no leader. There were no followers.

Paul Gottlieb said... It's worth mentioning that Murphy was the first Democratic NJ governor to get reelected in 44 years. His margin may have been small, but he bucked a long-term trend.
In Virginia, ten out of the last eleven races the gubernatorial candidate from the President's party lost. So the results there fit a long term pattern
You--of all people--don't want to ignore history in your analysis
Professor
I agree with your account above.
Republicans are likely sociologically to be less unified than Republicans.
But Gottlieb's point is well taken.
I especially liked this part, but it is harsh:
"...You--of all people--don't want to ignore history in your analysis..." PG
There are so many tantalizing remarks I would like to make about that.
Here are only a few possible ones, for Paul Gottlieb:
"Paul, he loves to ignore history."
"The verdict of history is mother's milk."
"History is written by the 'victors'. The judgement of history."
"What people now think happened in the past, happened just that way in the past."
All the best

How about this:
To PG:
- "History, a tool for making history, must be shaped from history.
- The historian must kill to eat."

WEAKNESSES IN GERHARD L WEINBERG'S ACCOUNT
He claimed that the view that Britain "had not made her prospective position sufficiently clear to Germany to deter war" had been removed as a factor by more recent scholarship, uncharaceristically without citation. Weinberg, V II, p. 6.
When he notes that more recent scholarship has removed a factor which had nevertheless very much been on peoples' minds back in the 1930s, one immediately can assume that there is a later Whig interpretation on which Weinberg is relying which would not pass even a smell test.
On the other hand, and incongruously, he notes "the reluctance to risk war with Germany was reinforced by the continuing feeling, especially in some circles in England, that the peace settlement at the end of the war had been unfairly harsh to Germany," for which he cites Donald C. Watt.
So, he has Whig cherry picked feelings from the 1930s with which he agrees, and Whig distinguished those from those other feelings, also from the 1930s, with which he does not.
Finally, he shows that Germany had been left (in spite of the terms of the ostensibly unfair 1919 settlement) stronger than any European power other than Russia.
This seems to be a Whig hindsight fallacy for a state of affairs which he admits it was not so clear to them at the time.
This post is dedicated to J C D Clark.
This also clashes by implication with his claim that Britain had made its prospective position clear as a deterrent based on relative strength and therefore awareness of the threat Germany prospectively would pose by hostilities.
RE A COVID UPDATE (REVISED)
Professor
Thanks for writing this update.
Let's hope that what one might call long haul side effects don't emerge.
One friend who had to insure, or not, big pharma drugs has voiced that concern to me.
Re American political history, Palmer seems, ironically, to have been an acute critic of the philosophes among American scholars of the concept of Enlightenment.
Re history of philosophy, what has been considered enlightenment thought has been both anti clericalist Catholic rationalism, and British and Scottish Protestant skeptical empiricism.
All the best

The second part of the second-to-last sentence is the key one..."devoted to our best traditions". There is no longer basic agreement on what those "best traditions" are, largely because there is no longer basic agreement on the meaning of "freedom" and on how equality should be pursued.
It's clear in retrospect, that the upheavals of the Sixties paved the way for the chasm we see today. Those with what Thomas Sowell has called "the unconstrained vision" declared, then, that America was irredeemably flawed because it wasn't living up to its stated ideals...and over the ensuing five and a half decades, people holding that vision came to dominant academia, K through 12 education, social activism, the Democratic Party, almost every outlet of cultural transmission, and finally Big Tech and the business world.
The problem is, most Americans DON'T subscribe to this vision...either because they merely see the world differently, or because their more modest day to day concerns preclude them from consuming themselves with "how to change the world", according to the commonly understood meaning of that phrase.
The Democratic Party and the American Left, in their drive to enshrine the ideals of the Sixties permanently, have long since ensconced themselves in their own worldview cocoon, and sought in ways big and small to disparage, demonize, and destroy people who are in the way, who they deem inferior, and who they subjectively decide engage in "wrongthink". "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
As someone who produces a podcast about The Fourth Turning, I confront the possibility every day that my content could be removed from YouTube in the blink of an eye, simply because ideas associated with Steve Bannon's name are seen as wrongthink by the people who sit behind desks and in corner offices in Silicon Valley. As a Millennial who has changed political stripes since his 20s, I have the advantage of (A) knowing where the social idealism of the Sixties actually led, (B) understanding that the worldview of "woke" so dominant in people my age and younger didn't come about by accident, and (C) seeing how my generation's decided un-penchant for introspection could provide the margin of difference in taking America to a point where ideological disagreements on any issue are no longer tolerated.
There is plenty of blame and criticism to go around on both sides of the divide. But if the 2020s end up going as badly as I fear they might, the breakup of the country won't come on account of the trucker in Texas, the farmer in Iowa, the insurance salesman in Ohio, or the podcaster in New England who voted for Trump. What's more, it won't be because of the indefensible actions by the rioters on January 6th. It will be because the cosmic justice-seeking crusade by the powers that be on the Left has already taken America to a point of no return.
LOVE THAT SHIT!
