The Culture of Freedom addresses the threats facing Western civilization from authoritarian regimes and internal neo-Marxist activists. These forces challenge our military strength and cultural values, attacking monuments, holidays, and dissenters. Despite these challenges, Western ideals like liberty, rationality, and Judaeo-Christian ethics remain vital. Signs of hope include Brexit, Australia’s rejection of the Indigenous Voice, and grassroots movements in Florida and Adelaide advocating for traditional values and rigorous education. This book is a call to recognize, defend, and celebrate the rich heritage that has shaped the free world.
