Antipolitics Volume 1: The Elite

Foreword by Neema Parvini

Antipolitics - Noun - reaction against or rejection of the practices or attitudes associated with traditional politics

Many of us have, at one point or another, been caught up in one of the modern political media cycle’s “current things.” Most headlines here are empty distractions. At best, they exist to prime the public for what those in power have already decided to implement.

This first volume of Antipolitics, by John Sweeney and Evelyn Grant, advocates for a world in which the structures of power are presented honestly. What you will read in this series of essays and speeches, written and presented between 2021 and 2024, is the authors’ attempt to grapple with what it means to truly reject postwar liberalism in all its forms.

Key Features:

• Synthesis of influential thinkers: Schmitt, Ellul, Francis, Spengler, Burnham, Mosca, Pareto, de Jouvenel, Lenin, Hoppe, Gottfried, Kaczynski, and many others.
• A model for new perspectives: "Antipolitics" provides a framework to help you step over our current political frame.

Contents:

• 33 essays and speeches published on the Antipolitics Substack or presented at Scyldings Events and Nomos Events conferences.
• New foreword by Neema Parvini.
• Accessible printed edition: Many of these essays and speeches have not been available in a printed format—until now.

This thought-provoking collection challenges traditional political practices and offers a compelling vision for those seeking to move beyond the constraints of postwar liberalism.
