most leftists are pro-globalization, pro-western (except they want to distribute the knowledge and not force it down foreign throats)
in fact, now that I think about it, the Intelligentsia theories you're talking about now belong almost wholly to the far Right.

dude, you're right...it is a circle. The John Birchers are paleocons. Most leftists are not pro-western/globalization. You're projecting. You may be pro-west/globalization, but that's not the status quo of the left today.
It's definitely a circle...your palecons like Buchanon are pro-labor, anti-globalization, and have a lot in common with the left. Then you have your neocons like Reagan, Horowitz, Wolfowitz, who are former liberals, but became pro-Israel right-wingers.
