I was reacquainting myself with Tocqueville this week. And I was saddened to learn that in-spite of his publicity back in France that there is little evidence that any of his discoveries in America gained a foothold in his beloved France.

While I was no fan of it in any form the DSA used to be broadly social democratic. Wow , has that changed!Now it is apparently been taken over by Marxist Leninist- third worldest types.
