Num artigo muito didáctico de Paul David Collins, pode ler-se, a certa altura, esta citação deveras clarividente de Claes G. Ryn:
«Within today's Western democracies a new Jacobinism is exercising growing influence, especially in the United States. It is working to sever the remaining connections between the popular government and the traditional Western view of man and society. It employs an idiom somewhat different from that of the earlier Jacobinism, and it incorporates various new ideological and other ingredients, but it is essentially continuous with the old urge to replace historically evolved societies with an order framed according to abstract, allegedly universal principles, notably that of equality. Like the old Jacobinism, it does not oppose economic inequalities, but it scorns traditional religious, moral, and cultural preconceptions and social patterns that restrict or channel social and political advancement and economic activity . . .The new Jacobins are more accepting of existing society than were the old Jacobins, for they regard today's Western democracy as the result of great moral, social and political progress since the eighteenth century. They see it as an approximation of what universal principles require. (...)

É, diria mais, e como de resto já aqui escrevi, um neocomunismo recauchutado e caiado a sepulcro iluminista de finis historia. Papam hóstias polvilhadas a Platão, mas debitam uma bosta de invariável fedor pestilento, que tresanda a Lenine, Gnose e, mais que todos, Mamon.
Esta escória epígona da degenerescência urbano-industrial, prole de psico-aviário e tele-incubadoura, não reclama debate. Seria um erro grosseiro perder tempo com isso. Requer, outrossim, o abate. O abate sanitário, entenda-se. E com carácter de urgência!
