Maelstrom

Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence.

Maelstrom: Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence reviews the cyclical nature of right-wing resurgences in American history, dismisses the appropriateness of the word ‘fascism’ to explain them, and then describes in depth the goal of “reconstructing” American institutions on the basis of biblical principles.

Maelstrom: Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence illuminates the latest outbreak of right-wing extremism in America. This book reviews the cyclical nature of right-wing resurgences in American history, dismisses the appropriateness of the word “fascism” to explain them, and then describes in depth the goal of “reconstructing” American institutions on the basis of biblical principles. It critiques the popular view that far-right politics is carried by stupid, socially isolated, nuts. To this end, it discusses the logicality of the “big lie” and examines in detail how people are recruited into the far-right, by entertaining the theories of authoritarianism and resource mobilization. Finally, it characterizes how the ends-oriented rationality of far-right activists differs from the mini-max criterion of rationality utilized by the ordinary person. This can motivate them to be violent and can frustrate efforts by the government to control them.
