David Horowitz held on just long enough to see President Trump’s first 100 days in office come to pass.
He had called for defunding the universities. Now, President Trump is defunding them. After over a generation of fighting the campus wars, David is not here to see federal law enforcement arresting the student activists who threw things at him and threatened his life. Leftists, he argued, were insurrectionists. Now the Trump administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act. He had called for a working-class minority populist conservative coalition.
Now it’s here.
Before the Republican Party was ready for Trump, David Horowitz had to teach them how to call the Left by its right names. Traitors. Insurrectionists. The Enemy Within. And he taught them to hit as hard as possible.
David Horowitz passed away with the fruits of his lifelong work unfolding all around him.
A great loss. But he was a successful voice. I started following him back in the “Heterodoxy” days
Leftist street violence definitely needs to be suppressed by the government. That is a clear lesson from Ancient Rome, where Rich Oligarchs hired street gangs to terrorize the streets and influence politics. Similar to leftist Oligarchs paying for street demonstrations currently.
Facial recognition can ID the perps now even with masks on. They should be deported if possible.
Deportation is too temporary.
Well, yeah, but not if they are somehow “deported” to the middle of the Pacific. Unless they are really good swimmers.
I appreciate the hopeful tenor of this article – may it be so! But I see Trump as a temporary slowing of progressive power.
Unless people are willing to fight, we will never regain what was given to us with so much blood and toil. The Assyrian invasion of northern Israel is like what is happening to us now – except it is being done more slowly by our own government. Replacement of the population is an excellent way to prevent rebellion.
Thank you for writing this beautiful tribute, Mr. Greenfield.
David Horowitz was a hero. A clear vision.
i too have been following him for years and have used many of his teachings in conversations,
We will miss your vision David, rest in peace my friend.
His life and work will be with those who remember. He was and is a giant in our time. This world is better for his having been in it. We can still learn from him.
