An Anglican Bishop nearly arrested for stating Church doctrine. Villagers actually arrested for making fun of gypsies. Museums stripped of "imperialist" symbols. This is life in the England of today.
"Political correctness gone mad" some will say. Not so, says Sean Gabb. In this book, he explains how England in particular, and the English-speaking world in general, have been conquered from within.
We face a new ruling class made up of the student radicals of the 1960s and 70s. Now in power, they are creating in their own behaviour all the corruption and bigotry and hypocrisy that they falsely alleged against the liberal democratic rulers they have replaced.
This being so, the leading writers of the "New Left"—Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, and Michel Foucault—become highly relevant for conservatives and libertarians. They are relevant not because their analysis of liberal democracy was correct, but because it explains what their disciples are trying to do.
Before we can change the world, we need to understand it. This book helps towards that understanding, and suggests what needs to be done to give England back to its people.

My connection is playing up so I'll have to come back tomorrow morning to listen; thanks for the link :-)
Having read the piece I have now downloaded the free pdf copy of the book. That should keep me going for a while.
No probs, GV.
Yin, I still prefer reading books in book form, particularly if they are long.
Thanks for the link I will check it out. It will be interesting and useful.
Welcome, boat products.
The arguments made in the article (and the free PDF book) are so well-made and come from such a worthy source that I'm sure they'll appeal to anyone seeking the truth, exploration of the truth and answers.
"...new ruling class made up of the student radicals of the 1960s and 70s"
I have thought this for some while and in conversation used the phrase " Local authorities and quangos are now dominated by the 1970's output of Polytechnics; their mindset still dominated by being Anti-Vietnam, anti-American, anti-car ( except their own ). Having lost the cold War and the internal debate about Marxism they have infiltrated the public administration and now wield all the levers of power there."
Only in the Blogosphere did I come across the formalisation of this as Common Purpose.
Just watched the excellent clip, Dave the Quisling and hunting to hounds the insubstantial sop to conservatives.
If the left can infiltrate, so can we. They need never know, until sufficient numbers of us are in place that it's too late for them to do anything about it.
Gabb is quite a thinker. Dying to dive into his book!
