The Shanghai Catastrophe: Lockdown Ideology at Its Most Extreme

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Chinese Communist Party authorities are not fazed whatsoever by the human carnage they have manifested.

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Let us remember that Carl Schmitt despised America and everything it stood for, especially the idea of individual liberty and limits on government. It’s one thing to study his writings in graduate school as a warning to what it means to turn against enlightenment values.
