About the quote

This quote is from the late American environmentalist and author Edward Abbey. It is an expression of his strong opposition to neoconservatism, a movement in American politics that emerged in the late 20th century. Abbey felt that neoconservatism was not new or conservative in any meaningful sense, but rather an ancient system of thought that was, in his view, morally reprehensible. He was particularly critical of the neoconservative foreign policy, which he believed was driven by imperialistic and militaristic ambitions.
