    Although Butcher or Demagogue would suit either, I was thinking about Pol Pot
displacing Hitler as the Idealist. Seems to me that would explain macroeconomics
in the eighties, if you wanted to go there. It would further explain why
"idealist" and "visionary" are such dirty words in western culture. It probably
wasn't such a bad gig when it was Thesius or Plato.
    I'm hoping Lyndon LaRouche makes his bid. That would be a UA IC.
