Populism as a threat to minority power.

[In The Politics of Unreason,] “Right-wing extremism” is also condemned because of its populist tendencies—its distrust of institutions that intervene between the people and their direct exercise of power. Indeed, in the post-World War II era, The Authoritarian Personality was an important ideological weapon against historical American populist movements, especially McCarthyism.[5]
[T]he people as a whole had little understanding of liberal democracy and . . . important questions of public policy would be decided by educated elites, not submitted to popular vote.[6]
The conclusion of this analysis is that democracy is identified not with the power of the people to pursue their perceived interests. Rather, government is to be the province of morally and intellectually superior elites who have no commitment to the ethnic interests of the European majority; in an Orwellian turn, “democracy” is defined as guaranteeing that majorities will not resist the expansion of power of minorities even if that means a decline in their own power.[1]
Prof. MacDonald’s essay is in the “must read” category as it goes to the heart of the strange suicidal madness now gripping white, Christian nations.

>>Americanism and the Jewish Experience<< Yes it's very readable. I convert these articles to a pdf for my general knowledge files. I am up to the Frankfurt theories of hatred towards normality.

Please don't forget my essays on the majority of American Jews and their suicidal affinity for Islamic immigration, and their equally-suicidal - Jewicidal - allegiance to the Democrats.

The first of a total of six essays (so far):
