The Trojan Horse: A Leftist Critique of Multiculturalism in the West Kindle Edition

by Göran Adamson (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

 

In this book, Göran Adamson unmasks the dark reality behind multiculturalism’s vain radical promises. Multiculturalism is a conservative idea, which is seen as progressive. Multiculturalism and diversity are about background, ethnicity, belonging, spokespersons, identity, and roots. Those who talk about roots talk about an idyll of the past, a historical Eldorado in contrast to universal suffrage, technological progress, equality between men and women, and everything else that belongs to modern society. A conservative ideology does not become more radical just because it is being cherished by journalists, politicians, and academics who say they are.

 

Criticism against diversity, we are told, comes from the right. Göran Adamson takes the opposite position. Convincing criticism against diversity always comes from the left, from those who advocate meritocracy instead of group rights, majority and democracy instead of adoration of minorities, equality between men and women instead of patriarchy, the rule of law instead of ‘minority legislation’, science instead of belief, debate instead of censorship, modernity and the bliss of forgetting instead of an obsession with historical injustice. The only Swedish political party talking about roots with enthusiasm similar to that of the multiculturalists is the Sweden Democrats, a right wing populist party. Moreover, the ideology of diversity shows numerous similarities with neoliberalism. Neoliberalism profits from diversity, and diversity comes in handy to the neoliberals. The European establishment has allowed a Trojan Horse into it’s midst.
