*VDARE Book Club Up —Chris Rufo's "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything ( [link removed] )*

James Kirkpatrick writes ( [link removed] ) : *VDARE.com’s BOOK CLUB is open to non-subscribers this week.* Border Hawk’s Dan Lyman ( [link removed] ) and Paul Kersey ( [link removed] ) join me to discuss Christopher Rufo’s America’s Cultural Revolution: How The Radical Left Conquered Everything ( [link removed] ).

Rufo is probably the most effective single conservative activist in the United States today, helping to create an actual movement ( [link removed] ) against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ( [link removed] ) programs in education. What he’s accomplished is rare because he doesn’t back away from describing the Left as it is. His book is probably the most powerful analyses of Leftist activism since Pat Buchanan’s The Death of the West ( [link removed] ). It is an essential introduction for conservatives confused about just how this country was reduced to the sad state it is in today.

I’ve often thought that the most important truth about right-wing activism is that “those who know, can’t, and those who can, don’t know.” In other words, to truly understand the Left, you must be familiar ( [link removed] ) with the history ( [link removed] ) of its leading theorists and activists. ( [link removed] ) But knowing what is truly at stake is not compatible with mainstream American politics. With a compliant media, it is simply too easy for a system that is fundamentally controlled by the other side ( [link removed] ) to marginalize ( [link removed] ) patriot activists and make them look crazy or extreme ( [link removed] ). Facing this, the temptation ( [link removed] ) is to actually become extreme, because a vanguardist solution looks like the only way forward in the face of such an overwhelmingly hostile Regime.

Rufo is the exception. He remains connected to the mainstream and is politically effective, though he doesn’t soft-pedal (much) on what is at stake.

At the same time, it may be that he’s already peaked. He remains committed to a colorblind, meritocratic vision that simply has no mass appeal ( [link removed] ) outside white conservative circles. ( [link removed] ) At the same time, Conservatism Inc. leaders ( [link removed] ) are eager to simply be rid of the fight. Rufo’s recent shot in City Journal at VDARE.com [ No to the Politics of “Whiteness,” ( [link removed] ) August 30, 2023] and what some ( [link removed] ) call “ white identity politics ( [link removed] ) ” must be seen in this light.
