Already a classic and a must

Complementing the excellent read his previous book (The Orpheus complex) Michéa of this book takes us into the philosophical contradiction of the Left.
Liberalism is left, and the forces fighting against its hegemony, the reactionary Right and the original socialist movement, have gradually joined the Liberal stronghold, leaving us today before a fully liberal political spectrum, left and right.

Essential reading for anyone wanting lucid on the development of philosophical and political thought.

It is reaching out to the little people of the right, representing also the "ordinary people", actually a new anti liberal thought, socialist under Orwellian (resist modernity without cutting the roots, constituent to human), may be truly efficient.

Proof of the power of this thought, all the capos of the Left, attacked Michea after the release of this book, because it put them naked and revealed their contradictions and objectives roles.
