Interview with "an ex-Trotsky-ite"

I found this interview on Mike's Blog, and it made for very interesting reading. The interviewer is a self-proclaimed left-winger, and he's interviewing an old friend/idol, who he says has regretfully made peace with the Bush administration, largely due to the rise of "Islamic fascism". Here's my favorite quote from the guy:

He explains that he believes the moment the left's bankruptcy became clear was on 9/11. "The United States was attacked by theocratic fascists who represents all the most reactionary elements on earth. They stand for liquidating everything the left has fought for: women's rights, democracy? And how did much of the left respond? By affecting a kind of neutrality between America and the theocratic fascists."

It's an interesting read.
