About this audiobook

This program is read by the author.

The definitive firsthand account of the movement that permanently broke the American political consensus.

What do internet trolls, economic populists, white nationalists, techno-anarchists and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing, except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-called “Cathedral” from whence it pours forth.

Contrary to the dissembling explanations from the corporate press, this movement did not emerge overnight—nor are its varied subgroups in any sense interchangeable with one another. As united by their opposition as they are divided by their goals, the members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those in the mainstream who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was there from the very inception, and in The New Right recounts their tale from the beginning.

Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the New Right as a movement of ideas—ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon.

Today’s fringe is tomorrow’s orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required listening for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

    every entertaining listen while also being quit informational, highly recommend whenever you don't have anything you need to do.

    Malice is a very good story teller. The retelling interactions with new right figures and descriptions of the social scenes Malice found himself in during his journey were incredibly enjoyable.

    The trickiest parts of the audiobook were where the user had to parse out whether Malice was describing a component of the new right’s philosophy or a component his own, since it wasn’t always clear. Being already familiar with his philosophy helped me differentiate, but other listeners may not be.

    Most failed anarchist Malice is GOAT. Even with his denim addiction. #Smith2024

    Short and sweet. If you thought you knew the majority of the New Right’s history, you will still have small and pivotal details to be found in Michael Malice’s book.
    His re-enactments of interviews are funny, (to me at least) and his true quest to understand some of the prominent figures’ motives and reasonings that have hoisted them in front of the corporate press for ridicule, whether deserved or not, is a delightful experience for any listener.

    Leaves out important players like Richard Spencer, Greg Johnson, E. Michael Jones and Colin Liddel, as well as their respective publications. Also the author or his editors don't seem to know what "as such" means. Otherwise, it's a respectable overview of 2018 alternative, right-wing politics.

    Good, except for the n-word being bleeped. It's like paying for HBO but the f-word is replaced with 'fruit.'

    Vulgar and profane but informative and hysterical. I expected nothing less.

    4/5
    A fascinating, often intriguing, and occasionally inspiring journey into the heart of the new right. Malice reveals a world whose bizarre denizens are far edgier and far more subversive than the pretend revolutionaries of the establishment left. I'm not a fan of audiobooks but Malice's style and voice makes this an easy listening experience.
