"The revolution of the twentieth century will take place in the United States. It is only there that it can happen. And it has already begun. Whether or not that revolution spreads to the rest of the world depends on whether or not it succeeds first in America. . .Since the beginning of the cold war, leftists and revolutionaries have enjoyed a simple political image of the world. One placed one's hope in China. Or in Yugoslavia. Or in Cuba. Or in . . . Latin America. One considered every possibility--except the possibility that revolution might break out in that shameful land, that nest of anti-revolution, America."
