“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
“It would be useful for some contemporary pundits and politicians to be reminded that ‘horseshoe theory’, which places anti-fascist activity in the same category as the fascists they oppose, is dangerous nonsense.”
