Conservatism Revisited: The Revolt Against Ideology
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"Conservatism, which is for politics what classicism is for literature, is in turn the political secularization of the doctrine of original sin. In contrast, radicalism is Rousseau's βnatural goodness of manβ collectivized into a touching political faith in βthe masses.β Nazi radicalism equates Rousseau's Noble Savage with the radical mass (the Volk); Marxist radicalism equates him with the economic mass (the proletariat)."--Conservatism Revisited: The Revolt Against Ideology (1949) by Peter Viereck |
