City Journal features a a top-notch article by Theodore Dalrymple on the persistence of ideology in the post-End of Ideology world. He finds parallels between the Communist ideology on the outs, and the Islamist ideology that replaced it as a challenge to the West. Both ideologies justify violence against the ruling class, entrust a vanguard rather than the people to do the people's will, and promise a withering away of the state should they succeed. If only Islamists were the only fanatics offering a one-stop-shopping panacea. "Feminists continued to see every human problem as a manifestation of patriarchy, civil rights activists as a manifestation of racism, homosexual-rights activists as a manifestation of homophobia, anti-globalists as a manifestation of globalization, and radical libertarians as a manifestation of state regulation," Dalrymple writes. "How delightful to have a key to all the miseries, both personal and societal, and to know personal happiness through the single-minded pursuit of an end for the whole of humanity!"
