Right-Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty
The rise of the so-called alt-right is the most unexpected ideological development of our time. Most people of the current generation lack a sense of the historical sweep of the intellectual side of the right-wing collectivist position. Jeffrey Tucker, in this collection written between 2015 and 2017, argues that this movement represents the revival of a tradition of interwar collectivist thought that might at first seem like a hybrid but was distinctly mainstream between the two world wars. It is anti-communist but not for the reasons that were conventional during the Cold War, that is, because communism opposed freedom in the liberal tradition.
Right-collectivism also opposes traditional liberalism. It opposes free trade, freedom of association, free migration, and capitalism understood as a laissez-faire free market. It rallies around nation and state as the organizing principles of the social order—and trends in the direction of favoring one-man rule—but positions itself as opposed to leftism traditionally understood.
We know about certain fascist leaders from the mid-20th century, but not the ideological orientation that led to them or the ideas they left on the table to be picked up generations later. For the most part, and until recently, it seemed to have dropped from history. Meanwhile, the prospects for social democratic ideology are fading, and something else is coming to fill that vacuum. What is it? Where does it come from? Where is it leading?
This book seeks to fill the knowledge gap, to explain what this movement is about and why anyone who genuinely loves and longs for liberty classically understood needs to develop a nose and instinct for spotting the opposite when it comes in an unfamiliar form. We need to learn to recognize the language, the thinkers, the themes, the goals of a political ethos that is properly identified as fascist.
"Jeffrey Tucker in his brilliant book calls right-wing populism what it actually is, namely, fascism, or, in its German form national socialism, nazism. You need Tucker’s book. You need to worry. If you are a real liberal, you need to know where the new national socialism comes from, the better to call it out and shame it back into the shadows. Now."

"Right-Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty" is a collection of previously published articles from FEE.org, and it shows. The content it contains is all decent, but there's a fair amount of overlap, and the structure is kind of loose. You often feel like you're reading scattered thoughts on eugenics and planning, rather than a focused argument. The basic claim of the book is that both the radical left and the radical right have their roots in Friedrich Hegel, and the two beasts can be critiqued on similar grounds.
As such, the stuff in this book is pretty good, but a little disjointed if you're not familiar with libertarian critiques of central planning. Soon after Tucker introduces the nascent alt-right, he launches into a brief history of left-wing eugenic policy in the Progressive era. I think the average reader might find that confusing, because there's virtually no transition. Additionally, Tucker's explanations of the Knowledge problem and spontaneous order could use a little more care. He explains the concepts enough that a libertarian will want to skip through, but not enough that the uninitiated will understand.
There's some really valuable insight here into the forefathers of classical fascism. Readers will learn about the various fascist urges of Julius Evola, Fichte, the Revanchists, even TS Eliot and Ezra Pound. I really enjoyed this but there's a huge gap to be bridged from those thinkers to the current incarnation of neo-fascism the book purports to be about. Tucker makes basically no attempt to engage modern fascism, and that's its main weakness. The arguments against eugenics that he puts forth will probably ring true for progressives and classical liberals, but have nothing to say to NRx/Dark Enlightenment-style talking points.
This collection will also fail to reach many on the right who feel that liberalism in practice makes life soulless and anti-spiritual. Tucker practically revels in excess, and this book doesn't contain his strongest objectivist-y polemics. If you think peace and commerce are corny and soulless, you'll hate a couple sections here.
Overall, I would recommend this for progressives and centrists who want to get some background on eugenics. Libertarians who already know about progressive eugenics can probably just read Tucker's FEE articles on right-Hegelianism to get the interesting parts.

Four and a half stars. Not since Lysander Spooner, have I come across a book that so challenged my understanding of history.
Jeffery Tucker does an outstanding job of breaking down the history of of the Hegelian movement both left and right through Marx and Carlyle and the early American Progressives right up through today's Alt-Right and AntiFa movements. Along the way we take some interesting twists such as "Lunch with a Nazi" and a review of 1999's "Fight Club"
Tucker carries us through and ties it all together in simple logical steps. It is absolutely terrifying, but a necessary read if you want to really understand today's political nightmare (on both sides).
I did take a couple small exceptions with parts of this work. Tucker goes into details of defining characteristics of "nationhood". He mentions and then immediately discards religion as one of these characteristics. This totally discounts the "civic religion" we have built up in this country replacing hymns, prayers and temples with anthems, pledges and monuments. When you look at the Right-Hegelian movement today through this lens it becomes even more frightening. The other exception was Tucker's deep feelings for the Libertarian Party. Bill Weld as a champion of liberty? He really lost some anti-statist credibility with that chapter.
Over all this is an outstanding work that makes one think deeply and piles on references for those who want to dig deeper.

i love tucker, but is this really the problem? nobody cares about freedoms. oh, yes, the religious fundamentalists of the mises institute who would love to have their own dictatorship, but it's hard to have that with one percent of a one thousandth of the votes. so they militate for freedom, just like militant communists.

Ignore this threat to liberty at your peril
Due to its near extinction after the horrific slaughter discovered by allied troops after WWII, few current Americans recognize the political undercurrents and overtures happening here and (again) in several parts of Europe and Asia: right-wing collectivism. It is a backlash to social democracy's failings and dependence on egalitarian expectations and institutions, which are being taken over by right-wing collectivists and authoritarian leaders. This is not a partisan polemic nor solely focused on the current US political drama. Author Jeffrey Tucker traces the ideological history thru its philosophers who supply pillars of the movement, including predominant statism as the societal solution, the big man theory, vertical divisions of people by race, religion and nation, society moved forward solely by continual epochal wars among the divided, and others. All of these ideas and pillars have historical antecedents & principles that are recognizable in modern day patterns & practices. Largely dormant since WWII, Tucker makes a strong case that these right-wing collectivist patterns of principles & practices must be learned by those of us born after WWII to guard against them or to reverse them. Ending on upbeat observations that freedom and liberty are on the rise again as a result, this is an indispensable jungle guide to todays political wilds and societal journey.

Great book!
Gives great insight into both sides, the right and the left. Does not feel like a partisaned attack on the right, rather an understanding and history of their worldview and where it came from. Would recommend to anyone who is tired of the partisan politics on both sides prevalent in today's news outlets

June 21, 2025#### 1. **Introduction to Right-Wing Collectivism**
* In *Right-Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty*, Jeffrey Tucker explores the rise of a collectivist ideology on the right side of the political spectrum. Tucker argues that while right-wing collectivism may appear to be a counterforce to left-wing collectivism, it shares many of the same authoritarian tendencies that threaten individual liberty and freedom.
* *Example*: Tucker points out that movements like the alt-right, despite their critiques of left-wing collectivism, promote a form of nationalism and statism that demands obedience to a centralized authority.
#### 2. **Historical Roots of Right-Wing Collectivism**
* Tucker traces the intellectual and historical origins of right-wing collectivism to the interwar period, focusing on the writings of figures like Carl Schmitt and other thinkers who pushed for a collective identity based on nationalism and state power.
* *Example*: He discusses how these early ideas laid the groundwork for modern right-wing populism, which seeks to reassert national power through centralized control over individual freedoms.
#### 3. **Nationalism and Authoritarianism**
* A core element of right-wing collectivism, according to Tucker, is its embrace of nationalism and authoritarian governance. These ideologies seek to impose unity through force, often using identity politics to rally people around a common cause, which can undermine individual liberties.
* *Example*: Tucker criticizes the increasing popularity of "strongman" politics, where leaders promote nationalism and control as a means of ensuring the prosperity and unity of the nation, at the cost of personal freedoms and rights.
#### 4. **The Paradox of Collectivism on the Right**
* Tucker highlights the paradox that right-wing collectivism presents. While proponents claim to defend individual rights and freedoms, they often endorse policies that centralize power and suppress personal autonomy in the name of national unity and traditional values.
* *Example*: He contrasts the rhetoric of defending personal freedom with the reality of policies that restrict immigration, regulate speech, and increase government surveillance, which limit the very freedoms they claim to protect.
#### 5. **The Threat to Classical Liberalism**
* Right-wing collectivism poses a direct threat to classical liberal values such as individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. Tucker argues that right-wing collectivists undermine these values by pushing for policies that consolidate state power and suppress dissent.
* *Example*: He examines how modern right-wing populist movements often align with state-controlled economies and social hierarchies, which contradict the principles of individualism and economic freedom that classical liberalism advocates.
#### 6. **Countering Right-Wing Collectivism**
* To counter the rise of right-wing collectivism, Tucker calls for a renewed commitment to individual liberty and free markets. He suggests that defending freedom requires vigilance against all forms of collectivism, whether left-wing or right-wing, and the promotion of decentralized power and personal autonomy.
* *Example*: Tucker advocates for a return to the principles of limited government and personal freedom, where the state's role is minimized, and individuals are free to make their own choices without government interference.
### Tone and Writing Style:
* **Tone**: The tone is critical and warning. Tucker writes with a sense of urgency, urging readers to recognize the dangers of right-wing collectivism and to defend individual liberty against encroaching authoritarianism. The tone is both intellectual and persuasive, aiming to challenge readers to think critically about the implications of nationalism and state power.
* **Writing Style**: The style is analytical and scholarly, yet accessible. Tucker uses clear arguments and historical references to support his points, making complex political theories understandable for a general audience. The writing is direct and unapologetic, reflecting the book's critical stance on right-wing collectivism.
* **How the Style Supports the Content**: The clear and direct style aligns with the book’s message of vigilance against authoritarian movements, making the book both thought-provoking and engaging. Tucker’s analytical approach ensures that the reader can follow the logical progression of his arguments while considering the broader implications of the rise of right-wing collectivism.

This is a concise and readable volume. Tucker writes engagingly and is more philosophical than most libertarians. He traces the history of right-wing collectivism philosophically back to Johann Fichte and George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (he refers to fascism as "right-Hegelianism"). In one of the book's best chapters, he recounts the eugenic, racist, and sexist motivations behind early minimum wage laws and other economic interventions. In another of its' best, he presciently denigrates what he calls "policy science". In one of the book's worst chapters, devoted to downplaying the importance of intelligence quotient, he doesn't distinguish between objective value and social value when considering whether and why high-IQ figures are rejected--the fact that eugenicists were enamored by IQ is enough for him to downplay it. He also does not cite Leonard Peikoff's pioneering work on the subject in Leonard Peikoff's "The Ominous Parallels: The End of Freedom in America". And there's another shortcoming that precludes a five-star review. However, the book is highly recommended and not dated as these movements don't easily go away.

Too short
The most interesting part of the book, the explanation of what Tucker calls Right Hegelianism, is not fleshed out enough. On Dave Rubin’s show, Tucker explained that this was the interpretive key to the book. It is, but Tucker has a brief section on it around page 120 and again in the final pages of the book. The discussions about the key figures of right collectivism are the length of encyclopedia entries, but they should have been deeper to draw parallels to our own day and draw out their meaning. What is a Giovani Gentile or a Johann Fichte and have there been others like them in history?
The discursions about the 2016 Libertarian Party convention and his repackaged columns on Trump already seem dated. Had he updated these with footnotes or written subsequent chapters acknowledging that not all of his predictions had come true, that would have been valuable. Why did the LP and their liberal worldview fail to compete with Trumpism? What can we learn from that? I sense that Tucker is growing in that regard, but this book could have used more work.

I've been a fan of Jeffrey Tucker's for several years, though I don't agree with him on everything. I wish he'd dump the Misses Institute. He's too good for those shysters. I've long argued that the right is big collectivism--maybe because leftist collectivists think its good-- but nobody talks about it. Well, Jeff does, and this is a great primer for the subject
Tucker's 2015 take-down and analysis of Trump is magnificent. He nailed him five years ago--before he was actually president-- and gave us a good idea what to expect. For some reason, only some people even now get it. I also appreciated is pieces on eugenics and how it has shaped American government and public policy. It didn't go away in 1945, I am very familiar with Black's book, The War Against the Weak, which Tucker references, frequently in his essays but I see little about it in any depth currently.

I would have given this one star if I had not considered the value to future historians. The author is blinded by his feminist ideology and his need to be accepted by the mainstream media. The vitriol of his Trump Derangement Syndrome has poisoned too many pages.
The claim that the “alt-right” is racist, Nazi and represents the seventy-five million Trump supporters is a projection of the mainstream media and destroys any credibility in this book. Such nonsense can only come from Trump Derangement Syndrome that is the precursor of the O’Biden media Mass Formation Psychosis and empowers the present dictatorship.
If TDS can cause such distortion in libertarian thinking then there is little hope of restoring true freedom to our collapsing civilization. I do not recommend this book for anything more than a future historical perspective on today’s crazy times – sad.

A fantastic history of the alt-right, which is really just different versions of the anti-capitalist mentality. Tucker explore eugenics (an ugly belief that even many economists supported), as well as minimum wage, marriage, and other laws designed to keep "inferiors" out of the labor market. You would think these fascist ideas would be dead, but they are not. Bad ideas have a long shelf life, look at communism. Today's communists aren't shamed; they get tenure. This is an excellent companion to Jonah Goldberg's book, Liberal Fascism, and Dinesh D'Souza's book, The Big Lie.

Libertarian optimism abounds. Nice history of both eugenics and the rise of social democracy in our society. This seemed particularly relevant in conjunction with the current spasm towards classlessness. I always wonder about the disabled and dispossessed in a purely “free” and stateless world he and Robert Heinlein speculated about before him. His concise take down of Trumpism and specifically the dangers posed by fascism of this veiled type being posed now is telling and terrifying at the same time. The historical information was very valuable.

Over all it's really good. Plenty of gold even if you disagree with some parts. There did seem to be parts were he seemed to imply that certain things are bad in themselves rather than just misused. It definitely gives you something to think about. it's a nice check on where you stand on things. I thought it was mostly a fair scholarly perpective with minimal antagonism.

I had read a lot of this analysis prior to the book release, but I found the book wonderful and believe it is something everyone should read. Tracing this phenomenon back to Hegel is spot on, and shows how interconnected and similar two groups who consider themselves polar opposites really are. 4.5 only because I had already read some of the material in the articles.

The definitive guide to the origins and history behind the alt-right.
Assumes a libertarian audience but is fantastically well researched.
Recommended to anyone puzzled by today's political clashes between the left and alt-right.

There's a reason this book is free. It's poorly edited. But the content is phenomenal, especially the History chapter. This is a must read for anyone interested in the origins of fascism. It is written for a libertarian audience, but it should be read by all.
