Publisher's Summary

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.

Alright, but unfocused and narcissistic

No strong thesis or coherent thread, and not terribly insightful. It’s mostly a gloss of a few conservative thinkers and some personal anecdotes about people he met.

If you know nothing about alt-right it could be worth your time, but if you’re already fairly well-informed listen to something else.

Overdue and important

Michael Malice deftly delivers his take on the changes occurring on the right wing of the American political spectrum as only he can. While those of us who follow these matters will find a much of the phenomenon and characters in Malice’s presentation to be familiar, normies will be shocked and hopefully enlightened.

Malice narrates as only he can, bringing the text to life. It is my hope that he goes back and re-records the text of his previous work “Dear Reader” in his own voice.

This work comes highly recommended.

Malice: King of Trolls?

Imagine being this person.

And it's "you're* welcome" not "your"

This is an odd endorsement.

Few interesting insights, but largely uncritical

The author's gloating sense of self-importance tends to distract from the content of the actual book. Throughout, his own views go unaccounted for when he quotes far right speaking heads, with outlandish ideas about race and gender, which more often than not go unchallenged by the writer. The notion that one should draw one's own conclusion notwithstanding, one is left with the sense that the narrator is not unsympathetic with many of said fringe viewpoints. Conversely, the flippant caricaturing of the so called "evangelical left" is flat out lazy. The conclusions arrived at at the end of the book regarding "people on the margins" (Malice is talking about blacks, gays and Jews) being able to affect change more effectively "because of their outsider status" is silly at best. Such analysis precludes having access to initial capital to affect said change and therefore disregards the economic divide entirely. Even his own example of 19th century madams being able to purchase property is only possible because of said women's access to investment capital from running their brothels, therefore economically elevating their position while socially they may still have been relegated to society's margins - a point completely missed by Malice. As to the beginning of the book, Malice's account of the rise of internet trolling culture on forums such as 4Chan is much more thoroughly addressed (both more concisely yet more nuanced) by Angela Nagle in her Kill All Normies (a text I'd highly recommend), which no doubt Malice has read and relied on for the writing of that section, yet there's no mention of it.

Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect

An engaging book.
Couldn't help noticing a Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect where the chapter about McInnes is full of very peculiar takes on subject matter I'm very familiar with but I want to believe the other chapters are solid.
Keep in mind that the author has a very unique personality which colours his view of everything.

A new term that I will use daily

Fundamentalist Left

Thanks to Michael making his case this is the most accurate way to describe the insanity that we allow to exist around us. A great listen. One that I plan on re-listening to and recommending.
