About this listen
Bloomsbury presents How to be a conservative by Roger Scruton, read by Kris Dyer.
Roger Scruton’s How to be a Conservative presents the case for modern conservatism not in the terms of an elegy but rather as a practical example of how to live as a conservative despite the pressures to live otherwise.
As he writes, the book ‘is not about what we have lost, but about what we have retained, and how to hold on to it’.
In this witty and frank account, Scruton draws on his years of experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life. He examines the truths in Nationalism, Socialism, Capitalism, Liberalism, Multiculturalism, Environmentalism, Internationalism and finally Conservatism.
The book concludes on a personal note, with 'a valediction forbidding mourning but admitting loss'.
Neoconservatives, one nation Tories, European Union conservatives, Liberal conservatives, Establishment conservatives, Centrist, Global conservatives, Federalists, Unionists, Free Market Advocates, et al.
These are all bastardisation of the true and original meaning of the principle and ideology. They are disingenuous terms for compromise.
His works are a necessary regular reminder to those who claim to be conservative to test and check themselves and to weed out the frauds, who unfortunately represent the majority of the British Tory Party and the US Republican party.
