The major point of my presentation to this conference is that the use of these concepts which have played a central role in U.S. political culture are ahistorical and in effect provide a kind of intellectual cover for politicians like Trump in the U. S. and Le Pen in France, as they did for various military junta regimes and former appeasers of and collaborators with German Fascism and Japanese Imperialism both before during WW II and especial-ly after WWII, when they were institutionalized in U.S. political culture. Today they serve as roadblocks rather than stepping stones to both an understanding of and the development of effective opposition to the Trump administration in the U.S. and abroad. As a Marxist historian, I see under-standing and action as dialectically inter-related and, to use a term from the American revolution, indivisible
