Why the Radical Right Hates Christianity

Book: A World after Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical RightAuthor: Matthew RoseRose’s exploration of the radical right’s intellectual foundations, focusing on philosophers who imagine a postliberal world. Rose argues that while liberalism once seemed like the final destination of history, it is currently facing an internal crisis of identity and authority. The excerpts profile three influential thinkers: Oswald Spengler, who predicted a civilizational "winter" driven by identity politics; Julius Evola, a "fantasist" who advocated for a return to sacred hierarchy and traditionalism; and Francis Parker Yockey, an American fascist who envisioned a unified Western imperium. These thinkers collectively reject the liberal values of equality and individualism, viewing them as symptoms of cultural decay. Ultimately, the book examines how these dissident traditions provide a conceptual framework for a new generation of conservatives seeking to move beyond liberal institutions.
