Ignore the 20th century

An egghead intellectual(i.e.an academic who never held a real job)reminded me recently that the canon of political theory in colleges and universities today consists of 6 thinkers - Rousseau, Locke, Hobbes, Marx, Nietzsche and Machiavelli. Well, 5 of the 6 are not conservative, capitalist philosophers. No, they are socialists, radicals, atheists, pragmatists, typical dictatorial thinkers detached from reality. Another liberal intellectual recently said, "if your ignore the 20th century," Marx is a great guiding, intellectual light. Duh! Egghead elitists like to feel your pain but not actually acknowledge or feel pain.
