A bracing account of liberalism’s most radical critics, introducing one of the most controversial movements of the 20th century.
In this eye-opening book, Matthew Rose introduces us to one of the most controversial intellectual movements of the 20th century, the “radical right,” and discusses its adherents’ different attempts to imagine political societies after the death or decline of liberalism.
Questioning democracy’s most basic norms and practices, these critics rejected ideas about human equality, minority rights, religious toleration, and cultural pluralism not out of implicit biases, but out of explicit principle.
They disagree profoundly on race, religion, economics, and political strategy, but they all agree that a post-liberal political life will soon be possible.
Focusing on the work of Oswald Spengler, Julius Evola, Francis Parker Yockey, Alain de Benoist, and Samuel Francis, Rose shows how such thinkers are animated by religious aspirations and anxieties that are ultimately in tension with Christian teachings and the secular values those teachings birthed in modernity.
—
Morningside Institute religious scholar Matthew Rose (’Ethics with Barth: God, Metaphysics and Morals’) delivers a first-rate intellectual history of the “dissident authors and taboo traditions” that have influenced “a revolution in conservative thinking” that questions minority rights, religious tolerance, cultural pluralism, and other tenets of the liberal-progressive world order.
Rose unpacks the writings of far right commentators and academics including Samuel Francis, a former Washington Times columnist and “right-wing Marxist” whose political doctrine “synthesized nationalist populism with brewing racial resentments over the shrinking demographic majority of white Americans,” and Alain de Benoist, a leader of the French far right whose theories of “folk democracy” highlighted the need for “cultural cohesion and a clear sense of shared heritage.”
Though Rose critiques the conclusions reached by these thinkers, he takes their ideas seriously, explaining how the socio-economic failures of neo-liberalism have led to an embrace of ethno-nationalism and a contempt for egalitarianism.
Ultimately, Rose persuasively argues that the roots of today’s “post-liberal moment” are more substantial than many on the right and the left want to believe.
This is an illuminating deep dive into an urgent political matter.

On terminology, how American liberals became “conservatives”:
“Nowhere is FDR’s genius for politics more evident than in his decision to call himself a liberal. FDR stole the label of the philosophy of liberty and bestowed it on the Progressives. Thanks to FDR, the illiberal party of the state — the party of government, the self-proclaimed political enemies of the classical liberalism of the founders and of limited government — got away with calling itself liberal.
FDR’s theft left the proponents of the philosophy of liberty without a name. What should they call themselves?”

There does seem to be some species of political realignment going on over in Amer-ickay, born out of the democratic deficit experienced by the many who are politically dispossessed (opposition to globalisation, etc.), I reckon. Migrating towards the extremes will leave the rational moderates behind.
It serves extremists of left & right to erode the reasonable middle ground. Crisis & misery are always their fertiliser. Leave them on the crazy ideological margins, where they belong.

Not forgetting that partisan dealignment is also an observable phenomenon (for the poli sci junkies amongst us).

Just look at КALIFOЯПIA. At Portland. At Seattle. At Chicago. At New York. All SH1THOLES or about there.

While it is true in principle, it also indicates that as of this moment it is unlikely that you had much time to explore the book at depth, to the extent it deserves, so perhaps it would be wise for the interested parties to take a pause, sufficient for reading-listening and thinking over, and resume the opinions exchange a bit later (this is what I intend to do, anyway).

On one hand, it would be silly to narrow down such a rich, multifaceted sci-fi book series to politics. On the other hand, it is fascinating to observe the events under the politics angle too, what might happen to a mixed bag of hardened colonist survivors, abandoned for years on a distant planet like Harry Harrison’s Deadworld or worse, newly arrived corporate totalitarians, enforcement goons, and habitually subservient and dependent contract workers.

The two main tenets of the dissident right are race realism and the JQ. That’s basically it. They are attacking the accepted myths of our culture.
If you are interested in what is actually going on with the dissident right peruse the writings on unz,com. The author could have done that and come up with something relevant to the topic.

All the classical liberals of the Enlightenment would very likely have evolved with the times. It’s just happens that we call classical liberalism were the radical liberal progressive ideas of that era.
The academic elites today and in some cases literally are their descendants. So to claim that FDR rebranded liberalism is simply not true.
Conservatives do the rebranding themselves because the future has and will always leave them behind.

Let’s be honest, this was less about posting the audiobook, and more about giving yourself an excuse to post another essay wasn’t it alnilam?

alnilam,
Are you stateside? To me the country is lost. It’s baked into the cake through educational indoctrination over the past 30 years, and it can’t be changed quickly enough to change that those in the next 20 years aren’t indoctrinated too.
Also, as could be seen with President Trump, how little he was able to change the administrative state, elected politicians have little power to change it.

@ccreader - I’m not sure about that, I think the respective orientations hold true. And probably will for the foreseeable, irrespective of how they are framed (or reframed). Classical Liberalism was/is about restricting the overwhelming power of the state/monarch/sovereign, and safeguarding the rights of the individual not to be crushed or diminished by such power.
This enormous power may be exercised in a benign fashion, but there comes a time when that is no longer the case, as we know. Classical Liberalism had to anticipate & plan for this eventuality. There were many such thinkers & theorists prior to the Enlightenment era. Aquinas, for inst, said that “an unjust law is no law at all.” Rational principles derived from natural law.
Over in America, the terms did indeed become confused during the 20th c.
Always an interesting debate.

“A world after Liberalism” It’s called “Fascism”
Wakey, wakey!

@ccreader I agree that classical liberals of the enlightenment would have evolved with the times.
If they didn’t do that they’d be conservatives.
