For the Infrared reading of American history, Johnson represents the recurring pattern: '''the counter-revolution from within''' — the moment a popular victory (the Civil War, the destruction of the slavocracy) is strangled at the point of consolidation by the forces of property operating inside the state. Reconstruction's failure — no land reform ("forty acres"), no sustained occupation — is the great "what if" of American socialism: an aborted proletarian-democratic revolution (see W.E.B. Du Bois' ''Black Reconstruction'').
