Book Description

1 Aug 2007
An Anglican Bishop nearly arrested for stating Church
doctrine. Villagers actually arrested for making fun of gypsies. Museums
stripped of "imperialist" symbols. This is life in the Britain of today.


"Political correctness gone mad" some will say. Not so, says Sean Gabb. In
this short book, he explains how England in particular, and the
English-speaking world in general, have been conquered from within.


We face a new ruling class made up of the student radicals of the 1960s and
70s. Now in power, they are creating in their own behaviour all the
corruption and bigotry and hypocrisy that they falsely alleged against the
liberal democratic rulers they have replaced.


This being so, the leading writers of the "New Left"--Antonio Gramsci,
Louis Althusser, and Michel Foucault--become highly relevant for
conservatives and libertarians. They are relevant not because their
analysis of liberal democracy was correct, but because it explains what
their disciples are trying to do.


Before we can change the world, we need to understand it. This book helps
towards that understanding. It explains the nature of the enemy and how it
has so far carried all before it. And it outlines a set of strategies for
the comprehensive defeat of that enemy.


Every battle fought so far for liberal democracy has been lost. Even so,
the war remains uncertain.

Product Description

Review

Sean's tract has aroused my interest because of its unconventional revelations about English society and government. He tells us about the seamy side of English attempts to enforce multiculturalism which the American media hardly ever cover. -- Paul Gottfried, Takimag, September 2007

Sean Gabb, successor to the late Chris Tame as Director of the Libertarian Alliance, is very much a man of the Right: a composite of Burkean and Little Englander, roughly equivalent to the Old Right or paleolibertarians on this side of the Atlantic. In his critique of managerialism and the corporate state, however, he has much to say about globalization and corporate rule, among many other things, that left-libertarians will find of benefit. -- Kevin Carson, November 2007

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding 30 April 2009
Format:Paperback
This is available as a free pdf download. I spent an hour reading the first half of the pdf and have decided I MUST buy the book, if only to pass on to friends when I have finished. Sean Gabb has done the research to justify all I've been thinking since I left school in '86!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gabb the revolutionary 2 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This is a short work, of 106 pages, excluding the covers, and, of those, original content is to be found on pages 5 to 89. The other pages are taken up with a table of contents, an index and a couple of articles recycled from Gabb's other writings. Those who read only the back cover and the first dozen pages might be inclined to put the work aside as yet another fringe pamphlet of the "why oh why?" variety, listing the grumbles about modern Britain which could be found any day in conservative newspaper blogs. Tony Blair, Polly Toynbee, politically correct Chief Constables, the BBC: all the familiar bogeymen (should that be bogeypersons) are taken out to be shuddered over. Persevere, this reviewer urges potential readers. Make it to chapter five, page 53, and experience the sudden change of gear under the heading of "What is to be done?" Was Gabb alluding to Lenin's work of the same name? He doesn't let on. The effect, however, is to stiffen the sinews of his readers, for here is a revolutionary programme. For the rest of the book, which after all is not far away, he offers a tantalising glimpse of what a sovereign parliament of England might yet achieve. Gabb admits in the end the unlikelihood of his vision ever coming to pass, and is reduced to asking for money. The effect is rather like listening to a musical tone poem. There is a short message, uplifting and easily digested, and when the last cadences have died away, one is left with a sense of loss. On that basis, buy the book. Anyone prepared to pay ten pounds or more for a CD, offering, say, another interpretation of the Second Horn Concerto of Richard Strauss, can afford the £9.99 for Gabb's work. Here is a final, one hopes, constructive criticism: the index as it stands is almost useless.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars A call to arms 16 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
Sets out how conservatives and libertarians can and should work together to protect the fast vanishing traditional British liberties that both admire. Fast-paced and persuasive.
