The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics

This program is read by the author.

The definitive firsthand account of the movement that permanently broke the American political consensus.

What do internet trolls, economic populists, white nationalists, techno-anarchists and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing, except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-called “Cathedral” from whence it pours forth.

Contrary to the dissembling explanations from the corporate press, this movement did not emerge overnight-nor are its varied subgroups in any sense interchangeable with one another. As united by their opposition as they are divided by their goals, the members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those in the mainstream who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was there from the very inception, and in The New Right recounts their tale from the beginning.

Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the New Right as a movement of ideas-ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon.

Today's fringe is tomorrow's orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required listening for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

A sometimes-confused, sometimes-insightful journey into extreme right-wing antinomy.

A self-described anarchist who appears as a commentator on the Fox News network, Malice (Dear Reader: The Unauthorized Autobiography of Kim Jong Il, 2014, etc.) begins his exploration of the new—read mostly alt—right by asserting that it is a grave mistake to equate all of its adherents to Nazis, adding, "even within an ideology, whether Nazism or progressivism, one will find a continuum of thought." Still, many of his interlocutors in this winding book are disturbingly assured that Hitler, if not Jefferson Davis, had it right. Malice, who is also Jewish, doesn't miss a beat when told by one after another that in the ideal new right state, he would not be allowed citizenship. His reasoning is often scattershot: Since two-thirds of fetuses with Down syndrome are aborted, he writes, "does that mean that inside the breast of every expectant mother beats the heart of a Nazi eugenicist?" Eugenics is but one plank of an extreme platform that, while on a continuum, also finds points in agreement in despising democracy not because it is democratic but because it's "a bait-and-switch used by the left to foster their own elite." One interesting though highly debatable speculation on Malice's part is that some members of the new right are merely acting out creatively as a "response to progressivism and the Cathedral," somewhere between true believers and anti-establishment rebels doing whatever the mainstream disapproves of. Also of note are the author's observations on how the Trump administration has helped various strains of the new/alt-right to enter that mainstream—even if, he adds, there are many points of divergence, since Trump is a member of the despised "Cathedral," the power elite, himself.

Of some interest to politics watchers but less insightful than Vegas Tenold's Everything You Love Will Burn (2018) in describing what makes subscribers to fringe causes tick.
