He’s not labelled a racist by anyone with a brain or without a political axe to grind. Some people think you’re not a racist just because another blatant racist calls you one, you’re not a racist because of some imaginary privilege due to skin color and you’re most definitely not a racist because you point out the horrible ideas politicians try to sell to the public wont do anything positive and are just a distraction. Maybe we’ll wake up one day and realize someone who genuinely believes people are inferior or superior simply because of their skin color DONT CARE if they’re labelled a racist.

Even if we ignore that nature of a one issue party and simply look at them as a ruling/main opposition party, it's still ridiculous to blame Mr. Benjamin for it (or to credit him with the success of pushing through Brexit by UKIP). When the charismatic leader that built and maintained a minor party abandons it and forms a new one, you'd have to be an idiot to think that abandoment isn't what killed the first party all on its own.

Excellent discussion, thanks. It reveals how far Benjamin is mischaracterised as a fascist when in fact so many of his views are based on virtue, prudence, good conduct, traditional morality, tolerance and a knowledge of history. His dissection of the colonisation and destruction of our culture is particularly welcome. More please.

I find that thought extremely troubling it’s how the National Socialist got started.

I now live in China and speak to many people here but I always uphold theses values as being the correct ones and take time to explain why I believe these are right. To my mind it is even more basic that identifying as English, it is identifying with what is right.

I always thought that the Whig and Tory parties merged to form the Conservative Party but the Liberal Party was their main opposition until The Labour Party came along. But nowadays you occasionally get so many of the conservative party describing themselves and the nation as liberal. Anne Widdicombe refers to Boris Johnson as a liberal. Barring a few exceptions, I tend not to see the party as conservative anymore though. There are clearly different perspectives both in and of liberalism. I prefer to just not trust politicians full stop. How far can you reverse English values and still tolerate gay people? I felt that this question was obvious for some time but it was somehow (deliberately?) avoided.

They would never accept mass immigration, and were extremely tight knit and culturally homogenous. A lot of Tolkein would actually be "non-PC" today - I always giggle when I hear them talk about the ring wraiths, with statements like "I dont like the look of those black men". But the Hobbits are not unique in the above views, like I remember a conversation in Brie with the barman talking about not wanting a flood of outsiders, while the Saruman type spies (part orcs) were making dark statements about how there would be lots of people moving up the rode, and needed places to stay, and you'll need to put them up etc. Essentially the bad guys were promoting refugee immigration, which the locals wanted no part in.

@@dagsby4685 Hobbits have a level of mistrust for anyone that lives a distance from them, for the most part, simply because they dont know them and never travel. Even other Hobbits in other areas of the Shire. But they never act out mistrust in any serious manner, since they are unfailingly courteous and well mannered, for the most part. However, what you are saying assumes that 1) contact with the rest of the world would only ever be good - when at the end of LOTR they close themselves off to outsiders permanently, after their almost catastrophic experiences with Saruman's lot. The shire IS a land a peace and harmony, in a way that many other places are not. Frodo says at one point that no Hobbit has ever killed another, and ensures is doesnt happen even with those that have gone bad... 2) you make no allowance the the unique culture of the Shire, and how it would be changed or even destroyed by even well meaning immigrants. Since they love what they have, are are so tightly knit, I cannot see this happening. This is a normal attitude for much of history, and in many areas of the world today. It's not that they cannot adapt, as e.g. they live in harmony with humans in Brie and have done so for a very long time, they more just want to be left alone.

Our country has lost its very special connection with god and been replaced with scientism. Reducing all experience to the 5 senses, hence we find it so difficult to conceive anything outside of the material. The monarchy has kept the symbolism of England, Britain as a whole hanging on by a thread. One thing I think English scholars get very wrong about America is that the founding fathers wanted to keep god out of politics. It’s quite the opposite! The experiment was for a pious people... Meaning worship god not government. In god we trust, not man. They knew power corrupts but if the people worshipped the ultimate mentor, Jesus they would never let the political class become worshipped. In UK we are different, constitutional monarchy, our monarchy encompasses/props up all our history, ritual and religion over the ages in its institution and practice. It’s symbolism is more important than we realize! The more I explore these ideas the more I believe we truly live in a symbolic world, we’ve just been blinded to it. I fear losing the monarchy would be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I respect Benjamin's dedication to the issues he tries to fight. But, I also must agree with some of the comments below. Carl is so much of a good 80's/90's guy, with his Classical Liberal approach. You can't fight the progressive/woke or hard-left tendencies with the mildness and niceness of classical Liberalism. The further polarisation of Western societies at this stage are inevitable and may I say, ... necessary. But Carl is still being a gentle giant dinosaur in the middle, left there from the previous era, keep repeating his beliefs while people who already realised how deep the problem is, are lined up already on the right side. NOT on the far-right! But on the Right. Without the wishy-washy bs of classical Liberalism. The actual conservativism what Poland or Hungary is showing for instance. That is where 'fighting back' starts at. Everything else is just delaying the inevitable.

But we know the wheel WILL turn as the leftists go full on authoritarian. Which they're already doing.

It's completely gone. Now the president of the United States is the furthest left president, ever elected in US history. There *has to be* an equally assertive force to balance that out! Classical Libs like Carl is very reluctant or slow to realise or accept, that fighting this new, very effective neo-marxist force will require people in the middle too, to let's say ""adjust"" their viewpoints or methods a little bit or to make bigger/smaller compromises in order to set the whole record straight. I am not saying that Gen X should throw their worldview out completely.

@@MaxArturo Problem that I have with Conservativesism and particularly Carl's vein of it is the disingenuousness of it all. They say its about liberty and freedom. It isnt. Carl Benjamin is absolutely about the preservation of hierarchy and hegemony disguised as tradition and order. He doesnt give a fig about the liberty of anyone who wants to live differently to him. If you listen to him there is one way to live, according to Carl, his way. Thats liberty, according to Carl Benjamin.

@@Cycstorm All I can say is hierarchy and elitism are necessary evils and we’re stuck with this paradigm of liberty. As if being free means living as equals or not being “oppressed”. If you don’t like modernity and the direction we are going in then traditional conservatism can give you meaning, when compared to flawed utopian cop outs like socialism or this modern liberalism. Yes they can be smug but be open minded.

Absolutely fascinating conversation. Despite some controversial moments in the past and his tendency to be a bit inflammatory when speaking off the cuff, I firmly believe Carl is one of, if not the most important intellectual voice in the modern British right wing. There aren't many others who have such a keen eye for identifying contemporary issues in society while also formulating a critique with such persuasive rationality and moralistic weight. I really wish more platforms were brave enough to give him airtime and let him connect with a wider mainstream audience, because I'm convinced his message can tap into a deep, neglected spirit within the British population.

You're both national treasures. I always thought I was Engish. My current partner is Thai and she thinks I am. My previous girlfriends have been Nigerian, Bangladeshi and Bajan. I have no idea why it ended up being so international romantically speaking, but they all thought I was an Englishman too. The idea that an English ethnic identity is somehow a form of racism would been news to all of those people while we were falling in (and out) of love.

I've lost count the number of times I hear right-wing intellectuals say "I'm not a Christian, but I see why they say..." The Judo-Christian understanding of the fallen man is far older than Aristotle, Carl. Guys, it's time to face up to reality. You might not like it, you might not want it, but it is time to understand where your guiding principle came from and wake up to your religious dimension.

Amen from the US! Carl's ideas would just bring you back to the left wing of the 80s or 90s in the US. I guess he feels that will somehow not evolve back into what it is now. Quixotic thinking on his part and frankly, as a chemist, there is still no sufficient evidence that sugars form cell walls on their own or amino acids form into DNA on their own. Creation, however or whoever did it, is the only logical conclusion. Theoretical physics and Biology can say all they want but prove it I say.

You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, for the Lord your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; otherwise the anger of the Lord your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth. Deuteronomy There are lots of scripture where God turned his back on his people and let the consequences of their sin overtake them. I could have probably used a different word than God forgetting us. It’s probably better to say that God did not mute the consequences of our sins. But today is the day of salvation; we shouldn’t harden our hearts but turn to the Lord while He may be found.
