Abstract:
The alt-right movement in the US has actively been endorsing the use of left theory to achieve its ends. This book asks if the alt-right's reference of left theory is just bad reading, in addition to drawing on the history of right-wing readings of left theory to unpack recent developments and consider their impact on future theory.
