Description: This book is the first systematic multicountry exploration of far - right Newspeak. The contributors analyze the ways in which contemporary far - right politicians intellectuals and pundits use and abuse traditional liberal concepts and ideas to justify positions that threaten democratic institutions and liberal principles. They explore cases of both far - right and right - wing thought in eastern and western Europe the United States and Canada. Subjects include well - known figures such as Marine Le Pen Tucker Carlson Peter Thiel Nick Griffin Thierry Baudet Jordan Peterson Russell Brand and Viktor Orb n and lesser - known names such as the Czech politician Tomio Okamura and the Internet personality " Raw Egg Nationalist." The contributors examine these figures claims about hot - button issues including immigration Islam race Covid - 19 policies feminism monetary policy and free speech. The book demonstrates that mainstream politicians and intellectuals are at risk of losing control over the definitions of the very concepts including equal rights racial and ethnic diversity and political tolerance that undergird their vision of liberal democracy. It will be of interest to scholars journalists policymakers political scientists historians political theorists sociologists and general audiences concerned about the sophisticated efforts of far - right and right - wing politicians and pundits to undermine the foundations of liberal democracy.
