Yes, they absolutely would. Shaking it into a state disturbingly conductive to doing something stupid. Like, for example, picking a fight with Russia or China. Or getting themselves tactically nuked by Israel. Or launching an anti-Shia jihad. Or pissing off the wrong US president. And so on...

I don't see the jump from bringing down a couple failed state governments and defeating their meme tier Arab armies to "revitalization of the Dar al Islam.". Sure, it would massively raise their morale... But as a certain very modern saying goes, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer...

I was specifically talking about the modern status of the theory. Pre-industrial, i would say it was quite accurate, as no equivalents of industrial revolution happened. You can bring up things like horse collar or advances of steel making, but in sheer scale they don't compare to the industrial...

Sometimes it is different. Hard to say if this is one of these times. Sometimes these peculiarities fade into total obscurity, sometime they live on as some variation in a relatively small community, and sometimes they become the new norm. That's a bad case of fitting the observations to the...

Yes, exactly, that's the point of that comparison. It's not the west, yet in terms of "modernity" has all the things (wealth and widespread society changing modern technologies) west does, but not necessarily the same ideas. Of course they didn't invent that. The main difference between them is...

If a disease was light on symptoms, would anyone complain much about it at all? You seem to be underestimating how much the cultural subversion of the marxists of all stripes has changed the west over that time, culminating in events known as 60's revolution. We don't have much of a set of...

Through the nature of issues discussed, their causes, and their effects, we can see that there is no clear separation line between these, and there never really was.

Too late. Its the point where subversive efforts have started showing undeniable, large scale effects, large scale enough to be called a revolution even. It would be like a ship trying to evade a torpedo when it has already hit, exploded, and water is just starting to flood in. Damage control is...

I would suggest the 1920's-1960's period, with continuing theme of vast underestimation of the threat Marxism and its mutations pose, constantly being two steps behind its evolutions and schemes. First underestimating the economic revolutionary aspect, then the military aspect of Soviet Union...
