starting H.L.T. Quan’s ‘Become Ungovernable’ this morning :-D
page xi of a book, reading ‘Methodologically, this work does not reflexively label contemporary Republican politics, policies, or the court decisions advanced by Republicans as "conservative," because that term typically conveys an embrace of modest, piecemeal reforms that are aimed at maintaining the status quo. Ideologies and actions that seek to radically transform the status quo should not be misnamed or reflexively labeled as conservative. Such ideas and actions might advocate traditionalist, parochial, or elitist ontologies and epistemes, and the use of these terms would better reveal the ideological investments as well as their methods of achievement. Radical exclusion of the other, for instance, is not conservative but an extreme praxis and part of a fascist ideological toolkit.’ The last sentence is highlighted in pink.
