Mark Bray<\/a>\u00a0is in his early thirties and the recipient of a Ph.D. in history from Rutgers in 2016. He is also rapidly becoming antifa\u2019s chief ideologue. Among his works describing or advocating for the often violent demonstrators are\u00a0Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Bray has yet to find a major commercial press for his tracts and, so far as I can tell, remains a\u00a0lowly lecturer<\/a>\u00a0at Dartmouth College. But he has presented his case for antifa\u2019s protest activities and the disruptive forms they have taken in, among other venues,\u00a0Foreign Policy<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0The Washington Post<\/i><\/a>, and\u00a0Boston Review<\/i><\/a>. Bray was also invited to voice his views at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C., an honor usually reserved for intellectual and political celebrities. It was after watching Bray\u2019s\u00a0Politics and Prose address<\/a>\u00a0and the remarks it elicited from the mostly \u201cantifascist\u201d audience that my editor at Northern Illinois University Press arrived at the idea that I should write a book on antifa\u2019s worldview.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>After listening to the YouTube talk and then ordering Bray\u2019s\u00a0Handbook<\/i>, it occurred to me that there was nothing particularly interesting about what I was encountering. Despite its obvious incompatibility with the dominant political culture, the alt-right seems to have rallied philosophically deeper thinkers than the slogan-chanting adolescents who swarm around Bray.\u00a0Alt-right\u00a0publications<\/a>\u00a0regularly mention European rightist intellectuals like Alexander Dugin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Julius Evola, and however tendentiously those sources are used, their…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
