The search for a 'usable past' on the right has long taken many forms, from neo-pagans lamenting the corrosive effects of a universalising Christianity to elegies for a simpler, more rural England before the coming of the machine.
This search goes as far as neo- Nazis enamoured with the German fight against the Allies and, as Lilla writes, “acned young men waving around thick manifestos by a preposterous figure known as the Bronze Age Pervert”.
Britain suffers from a peculiar historical curse: the “curse of being first ” The country’s status as the first industrial nation means that it has suffered from many deep and seemingly intractable maladies.
As an industrial pioneer, Britain could not simply copy or import technology from abroad It had to build everything from scratch’.
The Pimlico Journal's vision is a harsh one, with a strong state and free economic activity.
The invisible hand of the market can move populations at will and the state has the power to crush dissent and put people to work while fortifying the nation’s borders.
What is genuinely new about this vision is harder to determine. It is also a vision given to us with the false erudition of the recent graduate.
