I would like (not that my likes make much of a difference here!) to see 
Godena defend his enthusiasm for Samuel Huntington, as well as his other
peculiar ideas about the nation and nationality. In particular, how does
he reconcile Huntington's ideas with Marxism. With what other New Right 
icons does he hold sympathies? He has quoted MacFarquhar approvingly. I fear
for Godena's soul!
