Title: National Conservatism
Post by: prime on Apr 20, 2024, 02:38 PM
QuotePolitics in America, Britain, and other Western nations have taken a sharp turn toward nationalism—a commitment to a world of independent nations. This has been disorienting to many, not least the American conservative movement, which has, since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, grown increasingly attached to a vision of a global "rules-based liberal order" that would bring peace and prosperity to the entire world while attenuating the independence of nations. 

The return of nationalism has created a much-discussed "crisis of conservatism" that may be unprecedented since modern Anglo-American conservatism was formulated by Russell Kirk, William Buckley, and their colleagues in the 1950s. At the heart of this crisis is a question: Is the new American and British nationalism a hostile usurper that has arrived on the scene to displace political conservatism? Or is nationalism an essential, if neglected, part of the Anglo-American conservative tradition at its best?

Quote[W]e should continue to have internal discussions about the benefits and risks of modernisation. As conservatives, we certainly ought to embrace modernisation. We should, however, reject ideological 'modernisation' which prescribes that the route to 'progress' lies through the rejection of tradition. This is not progress, but regress.
