Fareed Zakaria: Today’s Conservative Movement Like ‘the Old Marxists,’ Too Much Rooted In Abstract Ideas
CNN's Fareed Zakaria regurgitated his conservative-bashing Time magazine piece on his Sunday show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He opened up his program with the same barrage against conservatives that he launched in Time on Friday, namely that today's conservatism is woefully divorced from reality like the Marxists of the 19th century. Zakaria writes that “conservatives now resemble the old Marxists who refuse to look at actual experience.” Instead, he argues, they are hopelessly enamored with “policies that are simply recitations of some free market theory taken out of some book based on no actually-existing national economy.” [Video below the break.]
