About the author

American patriot and populist activist, known primarily for his work in the alternative media in the United States as a publisher.

Some of his best work involved groups and newspapers such as the Liberty Lobby, The Spotlight newspaper, The Institute for Historical Review, The Barnes Review, and American Free Press.

Because of his stirling work in the persuit of truth and freedom, Carto has been one of the most hysterically smeared and demonised personalities in American politics during the 20th century.

[JW · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of brief biographies, most of which were originally published in The Spotlight, the weekly newspaper of Liberty Lobby. Willis Carto, the book’s editor, was the organization’s founder and leader. Liberty Lobby was a mixture of traditional American conservatism – the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, Free Enterprise – with support for a European style ethno nationalism. America was the land of Americans – White Americans. What was implicit would be explicit. American conservatism then, when the book’s first edition was published in 1982, as well as now prefers to emphasis economic issues: low taxes and unfettered capitalism. Carto’s Populism was anti-capitalist in that it argued that the economy should support the ethnos. He equated capitalism with Marxism, as two systems of economic determinism. Instead he posited that “the real dynamics of history…are nationalism and race.” Populism was in opposition to finance but in support of manufacturing. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison are thus Populists. Ezra Pound’s poetry was certainly not populist, but his opposition to Franklin Roosevelt and usury made him part of the club. This thread connects the book to the Old Right of the New Deal era in its criticism of American intervention in World War II. This probably explains the presence of Robert Taft, H.L. Mencken and Hamilton Fish in the Populist gallery.

I did not seek this book out but having read it I have a clearer understanding what what an American kind of fascism would look like
