"In recent weeks my thoughts have been roiled by a series of questions.
"These questions are, essentially, root questions about the nature and future direction of what I will call, for lack of any better term, the Counter-Revolution—the informal and disorganized, but growing, and already global, network of people thinking about, writing about, and now increasingly building institutions with a mission of actively pushing back against the revolutionary tide of the (again for lack of a better term) “Woke” New Faith-Ideology. "What is fascinating about this Counter-Revolution is the surprising political breadth—indeed one might say diversity—of the people that have been brought together under its tent of opposition. Liberals, conservatives, and libertarians; rationalist humanists and the New Atheists; social conservatives, religious traditionalists, and neo-reactionaries; even some *classical Marxists* [like me!]and left-labor-socialists; and many others that defy easy categorization—all have been at least temporarily united in shared recognition of an existential threat to their collective survival. "This diversity is remarkable, and inspiring. But it also produces what the Marxists dialecticians would be quick to label as contradictions—fundamental differences in orientation that, if not transfigured into a new synthesis, may fracture the, uh, counter-revolution. "Those contradictions are at the core of the four big questions that I’ve been distracted by, and which I’ve attempted to crystalize here." https://www.thebellows.org/four-big-questions-for-the-counter-revolution/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
