Entry: What is Paleoconservatism? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_is_paleoconservatism#27718 Post contents: I am writing this necessarily short note on a Turkish keyboard to express my agreement with Christopher. His comments about the romantic reactionary character of a now failed paleoconservative reaction to the neoconservative lockhold on the Right and to the social and cultural degradation of Western societies has troubled me for some time. If the neocons have celebrated our liberal democratic progress and called for exporting it with bayonets,the Old Right seems to have sunk into some kind of pale imitation of nineteenth=century reactionary romanticism. While I am not as critical of this tendency in its own time as Schmitt was,I also believe like Marx that history can go from drama to farce as it repeats itself. Sent at: 2008 11 20
