Um livro preocupante. Na Alemanha, um partido de extrema-direita entra no parlamento, pela primeira vez desde a Primeira Guerra Mundial, em especial entre 1930 e 1945. Nos EUA, nazistas marcham pelas ruas de Charlottesville, e fascistas se agitam em vários outros lugares, inclusive se regojizando pela eleição de um dos seus à presidência.
No próprio Brasil, um candidato declaradamente de direita -- mas mais apropriadamente fascista, saudosista da ditadura militar -- recolhe apoios em diversos setores da sociedade. Pessoas que se pretendem anti-petistas -- algumas até que se acreditam "liberais" ou "conservadoras" -- apoiam abertamente o candidato direitista que possui tantos neurônios quanto a petista derrocada da presidência.
Preocupante, na verdade, é a situação. O livro é um alerta.
Prefaciado por Deirdre McCloskey, a economista liberal do momento...

Presentation:
The rise of the so-called alt-right is the most unexpected ideological
development of our time. Most people of the current generation lack a
sense of the historical sweep of the intellectual side of the right-wing
collectivist position. Jeffrey Tucker, in this collection written
between 2015 and 2017, argues that this movement represents the revival
of a tradition of interwar collectivist thought that might at first seem
like a hybrid but was distinctly mainstream between the two world wars.
It is anti-communist but not for the reasons that were conventional
during the Cold War, that is, because communism opposed freedom in the
liberal tradition.
Right-collectivism also opposes traditional
liberalism. It opposes free trade, freedom of association, free
migration, and capitalism understood as a laissez-faire free market. It
rallies around nation and state as the organizing principles of the
social order—and trends in the direction of favoring one-man rule—but
positions itself as opposed to leftism traditionally understood.
We
know about certain fascist leaders from the mid-20th century, but not
the ideological orientation that led to them or the ideas they left on
the table to be picked up generations later. For the most part, and
until recently, it seemed to have dropped from history. Meanwhile, the
prospects for social democratic ideology are fading, and something else
is coming to fill that vacuum. What is it? Where does it come from?
Where is it leading?
This book seeks to fill the knowledge gap,
to explain what this movement is about and why anyone who genuinely
loves and longs for liberty classically understood needs to develop a
nose and instinct for spotting the opposite when it comes in an
unfamiliar form. We need to learn to recognize the language, the
thinkers, the themes, the goals of a political ethos that is properly
identified as fascist.
"Jeffrey Tucker in his brilliant book
calls right-wing populism what it actually is, namely, fascism, or, in
its German form national socialism, nazism. You need Tucker’s book. You
need to worry. If you are a real liberal, you need to know where the new
national socialism comes from, the better to call it out and shame it
back into the shadows. Now."

Jeffrey
Tucker was a confirmed man of the American Right. Cutting his teeth on
an early Ron Paul, helping to build the Ludwig von Mises Institute,
(LvMI) and generally engaging in Rothbardian mischief throughout the 90s
and into the 00s, Tucker began a slow but unavoidable sea change. He
didn't move Left, as some have accused dismissively. He became much more
intellectually powerful. He embraced an unabridged anarchism, stateless
utterly worldview. He began this evolution very publicly, curating what
was the most engaging and interesting liberty-related website for many
years, Mises.org (it retains much of Tucker's vision, but has since gone
its own way). His books celebrated seemingly profane and banal
subjects, such as shaving and hacking a shower head, replacing typical
tomes written in the usual way about the usual subjects. By the present
decade, he was free from LvMI altogether, and sought to rebuild Laissez
Faire Books from the dead. He also jumped into the market, leaving pure
theory behind to start Liberty.Me, a social media platform for the
liberty space. All along, he further branched out, embracing
cryptocurrencies and other new and excited innovations. He was often
first to these adoptions, cluing-in a whole milieu. Roughly three years
ago, Tucker began to express in essay form what he saw as a troubling
phenomenon, Brutalism. It was his pushing blunt architectural forms into
a metaphor for the civil war brewing in libertarian movements. He was
challenged. He was called out. Lesser bulbs went after him, but Tucker
left personal squabbles behind. When the Trump phenomenon and things
AltRight ascended, it was Tucker who again was out early with heavy
warnings. Well, now the AltRight is a force, just how much is debatable,
in US politics, and AltRighters are for sure poaching from libertarian
ranks. How did this happen? If the two are so very distinct, so utterly
different, why is there this very obvious pipeline? Tucker explores the
intellectual rationale and genesis of this 'new' fascism, old wine in
new bottles. Read Tucker. I'd say heed Tucker, but that's the choice
you're going to have make on your own. And I mean it.

Tucker is first and foremost a good person; second, a person of
principle. This book is a wake up call and a kick in the a** for lovers
of freedom and individuals. This book is a spoonful of that good
stuff--reason. Tucker looks at the world of freedom and authority. He
doesn't pull punches whether right or left authoritarianism. It just so
happens the emperor with no clothes, and the base dressing him are
righties. Get it, Tucker is addressing the Klan in the closet, the Nazi
neighbor, the white pride putz because they're feeling vindicated by the
2016 election of a racist. The book points these events out, and shows
how history is there, and how right-wing collectivism is nothing
new--that it's been resting long enough that the townsfolk barely
recognize it when it walks out of the woods.
After all the Trump
apologism from certain folks at Mises, neo-Confederate
Paleo-conservatives, and "Blood and Soil" dog whistlers, it is
refreshing to pick up a book that challenges political power.
Libertarians have a struggle on their hands, and Tucker has painted its
picture, has made copies, and has nailed them to every freedom lovers
front door. Read up.
