Does the West deserve to survive? 

 

When we - when I - speak of saving the West, it isn’t Europe I have in mind. It isn’t even Britain, the US and the Commonwealth, although they are far more historically deserving. Rather it is the ideas maturated in fires of Anglo-liberty: democracy, individual freedom, debate and the nation state. The idea that right is to be found and might is to be mocked. It is the ability of the little man and woman to find their own way in a horrific world of Eurasian nationalism. It is what we fought and died for in a World War.

Britain, the US and the Commonwealth have been beacons, not because that carry those names, but rather because they have defended those ideas —however imperfectly, with mistakes and missteps aplenty. Should these ideas be abandoned, then the Anglo-West manifesto is as meritless as those of Europe and Arabica, exercises in moral denial both.

It is in this framework that we must speak once more of the Jews: not an orbs of perfection nor victimhood, but rather as what they represent. The Jew is the person personified; the individual seeking rights to survive in a world of might and religious blocs.
