The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics

I'd like to preface this review by pointing out that I like Michael Malice, and I would describe him as my second favorite political commentator. If I could only watch one video per week, then "Your Welcome" would be it. And I expect that if he were to write a book of his opinions on the political issues of the day, then I would agree with most of them and find his others to still be interesting and worth considering.As someone who is of the new/ alt/ far/ dissident right I may not be the target market for this book. But if this was not meant for people who think like me then I don't know who it is for, and I would not at all recommend this as a book to describe the new/ etc right because it ignores or barely hits the few issues that are the point of the dissident right.Positives:The beginning of the book says that Murray Rothbard and Pat Buchanan argue similar points and focus on similar issues as the current far/ etc right. I have not seen this stated before and I found it interesting.Michael Malice's theory that low culture becomes the norm is not something I have seen before.I recall a comment that he made that he was unhappy being told by leftists that they were happy he was looking into the right so they did not have to do so themselves. If this had been written by a leftist, then I expect that this whole book would have looked a lot more like the chapter on Jared Taylor where Malice could hardly quote Taylor before pointing out why he is wrong and why he (Malice) disagrees Other than the chapter on Jared Taylor this book was much more evenhanded than I expect any leftist would have been.Negatives:No attempt at a definition of the "New Right." While listening to Malice hype his forthcoming book I thought about what I would ask him about it if given the chance. My first question would have been, "How many chapters did Heartiste get?" (This is especially timely as Wordpress deplatformed Heartiste only a couple of days before the release of this book.) The answer to my question is zero chapters, zero quotes, and zero comments.Quote from Milo, who correctly got a chapter, on gab approximately the same day this book was released: "The only blog I've ever followed religiously is @Heartiste. Hope it resurfaces as a book or greatest hits collection we can buy. I'd send one to every young man I know."So my introduction to the "New Right" was ignored. And apparently so was its most important commentator Great Books for Men. If I write a book on the new right the most important question will be, how many GBFM quotes before he needs to be included ans an author.And indeed of the three "R's" only Roosh got one quote.Malice missed on many issues I would consider central to the "New Right". So much so that immigration, the media, and education were the only one that got much more than a mention.I would have at least expected that Malice would have commented on the number of deplatromings the right has to deal with, but other than mention that Milo and Pax Dickinson have been banned from twiter he did no such thing.This books reads as a description of the authors contacts and meetings with various members of the Alt/ etc right than it does as a description of our ideas, or an introduction to the way wee think the way we do. I understand that the author is a friend of Gavin McIness and therefore he gets a chapter in this book. But, while I don't dislke Gavin, he is known as "alt-lite" where I come from, and hardly warrants a mention.Issues not addressed in this book: marriage, deplatforming, creation of new platforms, why Trump was elected, Jesus, Moses, Homer, PUAs, MGTOW, sitting poolside, Shakespeare, cancellation and avoidance of "far right" meetups due to lefist violence, Vox Day's 16 points of the Alt Right, controlled opposition such as Jordan Petersen, Mark Twain, the effect of the welfare state upon the country, the ineffectiveness of the conservative movement (although he does have a good comment to the effect of a conservative being a progressive driving the speed limit).Overall I think that Malice is intelligent and gave a fair shake to the alt/ etc right, but he missed many of the issues we care about; such as the left being divorced from reality on any number of issues. So much so that I would not recommend this book as even an introduction to the "new right." But he does give some space to some of our ideas and does some good commentary on things like the media and education being products of the dishonest lefbetter books to read (for at least the aspirations of the alt/ etc right):1. The Bible2. Homer's Illiad3. Homer's Odyssey4. Exodus & Ecclesiastes & the Psalms5. Virgil's Aeneid6. Socrates' Apology7. The Book of Matthew & Jefferson's Bible8. Plato's Republic9.

What this collection of pornographic haikus lacks in quality, it makes up for in gusto! Michael Malice is the most indispensable reverse-trans author of our day.

There she was. Stunning. She was sitting on the other side of the room when I entered and approached the bar. I never seen her before but she locked eyes on me like I was a long lost lover. She sipped her drink not breaking eye contact. "Ardbeg 10, neat, Glencairn." I asked the bartender. As I grabbed my drink the bartender leans in "Do you know that girl over there? She's been staring at you this whole time." I shook my head no and took a sip of my smokey beverage. I turned and headed her way. She bit her lower lip as I approached.It wasn't long before she showed me her hand. "I really like a man who loves to read. You always read at a bar?" I nodded. She looked down at the book in my hand. "So... what are you reading?""The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics by Michael Malice" I responded before offering her a glimpse at the cover art illustrated by Ben Garrison. "Oh..." she stuttered. "... isn't he that idiot who thinks HONKLER built the Berlin Wall? He sounds really stupid."I smirked and giggled as I retracted the book and slipped it under my arm. "Well, it was HONKLER's lifelong dream. Didn't you read his book Mine Kamphp? It's German for 'Mien Wall.' Mein is German for My." I turned and retired back to the bar. I sipped the last bit of my whiskey and set the empty glass on the bar. "Another Ardbeg, John."He refilled me and smirked. "Nothing for her?""No, it was never meant to be."5 stars.

Its very hard to quantify what "alt right" is given the ridiculousness and obfuscation of the term in the media. However as with all his other media and writings Michael hits the chronology of the birth of the new right in easy to understand chunks so you feel like you're watching it unfold in real time.If you want to understand 2016, 2020 and beyond this is a must read.

I got this book the morning of its publication and I am already on Chapter 3. Malice has been my recent intellectual man-crush and my high hopes for this book are being exceeded. He shows his vast knowledge of the groups, the history (and the dirt) of the old and new right wing. Fearlessly tackles taboo subjects (antisemitism, Hitler/Stalin, homosexuality, eugenics) fearlessly and with great insight. The book is (so far) is a great distillation of the manic but brilliant Michael you've seen on you tube--with not much of his occasional mean-spiritedness..Edit. Finished the book in 2 days, much better informed than when I started. his breadth of knowledge about the new right (the people, the personalities, the behind the scenes dirt) is conveyed in bouncy breezy prose. Great book. Buy it. Read it.

The book has great content, but is not that well written. I knew about most of what he talks about yet I still found it hard to grasp at times. Each chapter attempts to barely tie together a few subjects and the text jumps from anecdote to history lesson to opinion in an annoying fashion. It’s like he had a checklist of topics and had to find a way to piece them all together. Again, full of all the red pills you need, just not delivered in the most effective way possible.

There is so much confusion today with regard to politics.Having little familiarity with “the right,” I found this book to be a a cornucopia of useful information.

One of the best sociopolitical books I have read. Usually I am bored and keep dozing off while reading about this kind of thing, but with Michael Malice's new book I wasn't able to go to bed until my wife reminded me at 12:27 AM that I had work in the morning. If you want to understand the right in today's society with unparalleled nuance and learn where they came from and be entertained while you're at it then this book is a must read.

Malice takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the various subcultures and fringe ideas seen on the New Right. From the very sensible anarcho-capitalists to race realists and the idea that there is a "gay virus", Malice explores the reasoning behind these ideas and, most importantly, exposes the holes in that reasoning where they exist. Some groups are treated favourably, others less so.For example, in the chapter on race realism, Malice doesn't take the progressive angle of "They're saying bad things about minorities, and thus they are wrong." Instead, the approach is one of "These are the claims made, this is the evidence they give, but here here and here are why that evidence is flimsy at best. He takes another approach in a chapter looking at anti-Semites, when as a Jewish person himself he could have simply said "They hate people like me and thus aren't listening to."Furthermore, this book exposes many of the tactics and motivations behind the attempted progressive takeover of daily life and digs into some of the various countermeasures that exist.I absolutely recommend this book.

Michael Malice is a brilliant guy. I've heard him on joe Rogan show and decided to try the book. Light, easy reading with a lot of thought worthy of quotations.His book is an ode to libertarianism with his own dose of anarchism. Great review of how the rift between mainstream conservatism and new right started. How mainstream progressivism inevitably shifted that far left. He then goes on describing what new right is and in the end demonstrates the views of alt-right.While many call him bad names on twitter for even daring talking to some unsavory characters, I agree with him that foundation of freedom starts at freedom of speech regardless of how much we don't like the words spoken.

So, rather than the long one (obviously I don't get delivered a detailed reason like these words or this context or this specific rule of the rules we listed you below), here is a short one.Vul gar ity and ob scen ity not allowed here and that for a review of a book that talks about just that.Whatever counts as that.The style is unique and this is a plus point.But also it will not be liked by some, so I want to make aware of it. This is a minus point. (Seriously, it could be a 1 star book to some people. Get an excerpt or a glimpse into a physical copy if you can.)I had some further criticism about the fashion in which it was written and some specific criticism and counter-examples.That I have to leave out now.Sorry people who wanna know. Not allowed through.The amount of information is okayish. The book was too pricy for it imho.I add something else, which I forgot in the original review, I liked a book recommendation. It is about good white people (title, see here on am a zon).Cheers

I first became aware of Michael Malice through his appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience. I found him insightful and hilarious. I eventually discovered that he authored several books, notably Dear Leader (which is on my wishlist) and this book.The New Right is Malice's take on how the New Right rose, resulting in the election of Donald Trump and how it's here to stay despite attempts by antagonists in the Establishment and Cathedral to bring it down.Highly recommended!

I first saw Michael Malice on the Rubin Report in which he talked about his book on North Korea. As someone who knew nothing about the country, I went ahead and purchased it. I have no regrets. The country's ruing family and its workings are laid bare in a manner that is equally scary and farcical.The New Right is another gem by the writer. Read it to get a clear understanding of the Trump phenomenon, the Alt-Right, its origins and its various factions, the phenomenon of memes and trolling, and the author's case against democracy. Extensively sourced and well presented in an easy to read manner, the book is a must read for those who are confused by mainstream media coverage of the Alt Right.
