This reflection on the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian uprising, from my friend @LillaNoraKiss, is so very worth your time. blog.acton.org/archives/1289…

Why We Can’t Forget October 1956

We must remember the past if we’re to avoid making the same mistakes and falling for the same false promises. That’s why students need to know about the short-lived Hungarian Revolution.Read More...

Replying to @sladesr
@sladesr Just finished your book, “Fusionism”. Very well done. I especially liked the clarification of it not being a political coalition. I loved the call out to push first principles and delve into the humanities instead of utilitarian gratification. Thank you!

For the international crowd, the Conservative Party of British Columbia won because it purged the more MAGA wing of the party in a civil war.

“History will tell if Slade's revival of the fusionist conservative ethos coincided with its death or its revival. But perhaps the greatest irony is that while the New Right might eventually prevail over the old conservative consensus, it will face the same impossible dilemma: How can a free and virtuous society flourish? They would be smart to ask the fusionists.” A belated plug for my review of @sladesr’s book for @FreeBeacon. freebeacon.com/culture/whos-…

Who’s Afraid of Fusionism?
