Stephanie Slade's book "Fusionism" examines the fragmented New Right and proposes a revival of fusionism to address conservatism's current challenges. The Republican Party has deviated from its traditional principles of limited government and rule of law. Instead, the New Right, encompassing national conservatives, theocons, and neoreactionaries, advocates for populist interventionism. National conservatives aim to use state power for conservative ends, while theocons desire a theocratic state. Neoreactionaries promote vitriol and conspiracy theories. This "Dissident Right" is contrasted with the interventionist excesses of American socialism, including DEI and cancel culture.Fusionism historically represented the alliance of conservatives and libertarians against collectivism and the welfare state. Slade's analysis explores the factors contributing to the rise of the Dissident Right, such as disillusionment with globalization and the administrative-welfare state. The author argues that the persistent expansion of the American administrative-welfare state is the primary culprit behind these trends. A decline in educational standards and increased cronyism have further exacerbated societal problems. A notable shift has occurred in public discourse, moving from reasoned oratory to simplistic pronouncements.Slade suggests a renewed fusionism as a solution to potentially save the Republic. The author contends that the term "Dissident Right" is a misnomer, as this movement diverges from traditional conservative principles by advocating for a stronger central government. Classical liberals find themselves in a difficult position, facing opposition from both the paternalistic Left and the interventionist Dissident Right. The essay concludes by lamenting the scarcity of defenders for liberty, limited government, and free markets, questioning the whereabouts of traditional pro-business, small-government conservatives.
