America and the West are now in the penultimate stage of a revolution defined by “wokeness.” What we call “partisanship” is essentially the effect of the late but growing realization of the revolution’s opponents that they face a major threat to their interests, convictions, and ways of life. It is not the “wokerati,” but their likely victims who are waking up. What they see is how a large number of social trends that may have posed little danger separately—mass migration made more divisive by multiculturalism; the rise of identity politics; the imposition of bureaucratic “diversity;” the collapse of Christianity and traditional religious restraints; the sexual revolution; the weakening of the family; radical gender theory and the rising hostility between the sexes; terrorism and its gradual accommodation by democratic governments and institutions; the smothering of national sovereignty by “global governance;” the rise of anti-national elites in Western societies; the post-communist crises of conservatism; the extraordinary recent resurrection of “socialism” as a social panacea among the young; the economic consequences of environmentalism—all have coalesced into a brewing social revolution that leaves most ordinary people feeling dispossessed in their countries and losing the future. In this series of essays written over the course of a storied career, John O’Sullivan, a former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and editor of National Review shows how this revolution has emerged and how this revolution can be resisted.
