<html><p>An introduction to the people and ideas most central to the ideologies of Trumpism and post-liberalism.</p><p>The last episode of this show was about what <em>ReImagining Liberty</em> is. With frequent guest <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/corymassimino.bsky.social" target="_blank">Cory Massimino</a>, I talked about <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/values-of-w-cory-136842720?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link" target="_blank">the values and perspective behind </a><em><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/values-of-w-cory-136842720?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link" target="_blank">ReImagining Liberty's</a></em><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/values-of-w-cory-136842720?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link" target="_blank"> approach to liberalism</a>, and how it's distinct from right-libertarianism. Today's episode is a nice companion to that. Not just because it also features a frequent guest, this time my friend <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mattpolprof.bsky.social" target="_blank">Matt McManus</a>, but because it runs further with the theme of distinctions. Namely, in this case, the ideas of the anti-liberalism of the far right. Our topic is the contemporary right-wing canon, the thinkers whose ideologies have come to dominate, and whose writings are giving form to the authoritarian fascism challenging liberal values and virtues.</p><p>Matt McManus is an Assistant Professor at Spelman College and the author of <em><a href="https://amzn.to/4n2nuT3" target="_blank">The Rise of Postmodern Conservatism</a></em> and <em><a href="https://amzn.to/4mAArnk" target="_blank">The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism</a></em><em>,</em> among many other books.</p><ul><li><p>Here's Matt's <a href="https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-modern-far-right-canon/" target="_blank">essay on "The Modern Far Right Canon"</a> that was the spark for today's conversation.</p></li></ul></html>
