LINK: Can There Be a Decent Left?, one of my five favorite political essays ever.
The others: "My Confession," by Mary McCarthy; "New Styles in Leftism," by Irving Howe; "Of Sin, the Left and Islamic Fascism," by Christopher Hitchens; and "Why the Christian Church is Not Pacifist," by Reinhold Niebuhr.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
