“Soft Power” is a BS Liberal feel-good Doctrine developed by Joseph Nye of Harvard University, after the “Harshness!!!” of the Reagan-Era diplomacy style, to describe the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, use force or give money as a means of persuasion.
The Academic Socialists just eat this B.S. up, and Chomsky was one of the biggest champions of this crap, the idea that if we are just nice to people, and give the ones we want to be in charge money, they will love us.
(How is that working out in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine?)
SOUND FAMILIAR???
Remember Obama’s 2008 campaign speeches?
That is where this idea came from.
Machiavelli knew this idea was BS 600 years ago, but that hasn’t stopped the libs from pushing it.
