Political cults are back in the news.
But forget Brixton Maoists from the
Seventies.
By far the most dangerous Western political cult since the War was
the (Trotskyist-based) neoconservatism that died today.
And of which New
Labour, a classic cult and full of Seventies Far Left veterans, was an integral
and important part.
Interestingly, I do believe that the cultish LaRouche movement also emerged out of Trotskyism.
