Canada is battleground to a Western culture war. The seeds for that contest were sown after Karl Marx published the Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848. It took just thirty years for that radicalism to cross the Atlantic and invade the New World. Dialectical leftism’s assault on Canada spread like a slow but deadly virus. Before it could be successfully treated, it mutated under subsequent waves of radical ideology. Under its increasing influence, the Canadian state began to realign during the Pierre Elliot Trudeau years. This ideological trajectory was forcefully reinvigorated through Pierre’s eldest son, Justin. Dialectical leftism’s current targets face Neo-Marxist/postmodern accusations of “systemic racism” and “White supremacy.” This woke ideology—the most recent iteration of dialectical leftism—threatens to tear the West apart. How exactly did Canada get to this point? What can we do about it? Find out in the very book you hold!

Using a global array of case studies, this collection explores the consequences of political involvement on an individual's life.

A thousand-page resurrection of Hegel, from the bestselling philosopher and critic who has been hailed as “one of the world’s best-known public intellectuals” (New York Review of Books) For the last two centuries, Western philosophy has developed in the shadow of Hegel, an influence each new thinker struggles to escape. As a consequence, Hegel’s absolute idealism has become the bogeyman of philosophy, obscuring the fact that he is the defining philosopher of the historical transition to modernity, a period with which our own times share startling similarities. Today, as global capitalism comes apart at the seams, we are entering a new period of transition. In Less Than Nothing—the product of a career-long focus on the part of its author—Slavoj Žižek argues it is imperative we not simply return to Hegel but that we repeat and exceed his triumphs, overcoming his limitations by being even more Hegelian than the master himself. Such an approach not only enables Žižek to diagnose our present condition, but also to engage in a critical dialogue with key strands of contemporary thought—Heidegger, Badiou, speculative realism, quantum physics, and cognitive sciences. Modernity will begin and end with Hegel.

Now updated to include Trump's election and the rise of global populism, Corey Robin's 'The Reactionary Mind' traces conservatism back to its roots in the reaction against the French Revolution.

Leading scholars discuss ideology and hotly contested post-structuralist theory.

Right-wing militias and other antigovernment organizations have received heightened public attention since the Oklahoma City bombing. While such groups are often portrayed as marginal extremists, the values they espouse have influenced mainstream politics and culture far more than most Americans realize. This important volume offers an in-depth look at the historical roots and current landscape of right-wing populism in the United States. Illuminated is the potent combination of anti-elitist rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and ethnic scapegoating that has fueled many political movements from the colonial period to the present day. The book examines the Jacksonians, the Ku Klux Klan, and a host of Cold War nationalist cliques, and relates them to the evolution of contemporary electoral campaigns of Patrick Buchanan, the militancy of the Posse Comitatus and the Christian Identity movement, and an array of millennial sects. Combining vivid description and incisive analysis, Berlet and Lyons show how large numbers of disaffected Americans have embraced right-wing populism in a misguided attempt to challenge power relationships in U.S. society. Highlighted are the dangers these groups pose for the future of our political system and the hope of progressive social change.
