Will Soft Despotism Mean Lights Out For The West?

The latest edition of PJM Political is now online, featuring a series of author interviews, culminating with Paul Rahe’s somewhat abstract look at what he calls “Soft Despotism”, and a rebroadcast of our interview with Mark Steyn explaining how soft despotism is very much the law of the land in Canada, and could very well mean “Lights Out” for free spech in America as well.

Tune in here to listen to the show, and click here for my unedited half-hour interview with Paul Rahe.

1. David Thomson:

Paul Rahe teaches at Hillsdale College—and not an Ivy League school. Academic institutions like Harvard and Yale are mostly postmodernist whore houses. When is the last time one of their professors truly wrote anything worth reading? Hillsdale long ago rejected any and all federal funding. That is probably the number one reason why it has now overall surpassed Harvard in the softer sciences.
