Deneen Responds ot Dreher's Take on the NYT Interview

This article is a big mess, in which the author appears to have decided last minute to make it about Hungary, and tried to shoehorn all the other interviews into a narrative in which the subject was never discussed in interviews. https://t.co/vu4fI2GB92

The Trumpian GOP, elites claimed, was doomed to become a regional rump party, whose electoral prospects were tied to a shrinking share of bitter, downscale whites.

What some "conservatives" are really advocating is for the (R)s to fully become the Big Daddy party, or the Alpha Party, while the (D)s continue their transformation into the Big Mommy Party. However, even DJT is a true believer in feminism; he's likely the best the GOP can get. Unless we get a Caesar who actually acts like Caesar to use the power of the national government to protect local autonomy, no GOP Chief Executive will be able to counter the cultural revolution, and feminism in particular, even if he were willing. Professional "conservatives" can continue their advocacy of broadening the base of the (R)s by espousing a civic nationalism combined with economic populism - "Hey (R)s, just listen to this, we know the path to future electoral success"; it's just a form of intellectual AMOG. But what we really need are men exercising leadership at the local level, not necessarily through mass politics, but definitely in their tribe and the broader local community. That is the only way forward as collapse proceeds.

Find your tribe and build it up.

Meanwhile, the GOP remains ineffectual even with the difficulties facing its supposed standard-bearer.

Translation: the GOP wants Trump and, more importantly, the America First mandate gone, and is looking forward to compromising with Biden.

There is no reason to vote Republican. Burn this party to the ground. https://t.co/Oo5IbNDa4g

First Things

Patrick Deneen reviews The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite by Michael Lind.

Deneen:

Not unlike the managerial elite he criticizes, Lind fails to draw the correct conclusion from his own analysis. What’s ­needed is not “democratic pluralism” in which the ruling class remains a neoliberal, managerial elite who strategically concede some wealth and status to their inferiors. What’s needed is a fundamental displacement of the elite ethos by a common-good, popular conservatism that directs both economic goals and social values toward broadly shared material and social capital, toward the support of family and community life. We do not need libertarian overlords who buy off the working class with some welfare, nor a federal government that doles out tax receipts to localities, nor secularists who grudgingly grant some space to religious believers, but a ruling class that is itself informed by the very values that Lind believes were once regnant as the price of admission to elite status itself. Only the fear of not conforming to the regnant ethos will sufficiently move elites, but that fear will arise subsequent to the wholesale defeat, displacement, and discrediting of the regnant elite ethos.

This means, contra Lind, that what is needed is not “democratic pluralism,” which Lind envisions as a balance of power between an otherwise exploitative ruling class and an electorally powerful underclass. Rather, the current ruling class needs to be displaced by the ethos of the underclass: people shaped by and supportive of guild, ward, and congregation. The ruling class, no less than the working class, should be shaped by commitments of solidarity and subsidiarity, and not merely accord grudgingly with those who are. Lind regards the revival of such institutions as the Church as an unrealistic goal and calls for some sort of functional equivalent. Yet the decline of organizational forms of unions, local politics, and Church has been significantly advanced by the ­individualist, materialist, and secular ethos embraced by today’s managerial elite. If these institutions declined due to sustained efforts by the managerial elite, their renewal can be effected through the displacement of that elite with a different one informed by an opposing ethos. The power sought is not merely to balance the current elite, but to replace them. In the end, there is no “functional equivalent” of solidarity and subsidiarity, and only a leadership and working class steeped in such values will restore the ­republic.

This is the conservative fantasy, that they will gain power -- the "illiberals" or common-good conservatives will enact common-good conservatism when they get power, after enlisting the support of the working class. Tell me, who is going to provide the financial support to make this happen? Donald Trump? How are they going to overcome the gatekeepers within the Republican Party who act on behalf of the oligarchy?
