“Post-liberalism landed on the mainstream’s radar in 2018 with the publication of Patrick Deneen’s Why Liberalism Failed — though its roots go back decades, with Alasdair MacIntyre considered a foundational figure. The most virulent form of the ideology is itself a rebranding of integralism, a counter-revolutionary movement with totalitarian historical associations. Despite this, since 2018, the movement has gained significant traction, to the point where it has a substantial intellectual network and high-profile politicians showing at least an openness to some post-liberal ideas. Conservatives and liberals alike ought to recognize the danger of this new right-wing ideology, and confront it head-on, even if it may seem to some that the post-liberals’ goals align with theirs.” (03/18/26)
