Foreign Policy occasionally will publish geopolitical ‘realists’ that align with the Kissinger model, most of whom come from the Neo-con method of geo-political analysis, which is heavily influenced by Trotskyist thinking, which itself is heavily influenced by Marxist-Leninism. In essence, occasionally we come to agreement on the way things are/were but we disagree if they were bad/good and how the American empire should proceed with that shared understanding of those historical ideas.
