The crazies that dwell at the bottom

From Taki’s Top Drawer, the world is coming home to Weaverville: An article on sex, politics and Gnosticism; and Justin Raimondo reviews The Color of Fascism: Lawrence Dennis, Racial Passing, and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism in the United States by Gerald Horne. From Democratiya, a review of Look Homeward, America: In Search of Reactionary Radicals and Front-Porch Anarchists by Bill Kauffman. Conservatism turned upside down: A look back at Murray Rothbard's The Betrayal of the American Right. A quarter century after her death, and half a century after the publication of Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand is back. Floating Utopias: An article on the degraded imagination of the libertarian seasteaders. Two interviews with John Dean, author of Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches by John W. Dean, and a look at the rise of authoritarian conservatism (and more). In the fever swamp of the radical wingnuts: To truly appreciate what the sleek spinmeisters at the top of the right-wing echo chamber are saying, you've got to dig into the crazies that dwell at the bottom.
