All men of the right wish one thing and one thing only: counterrevolution. To return to principles prior to 1789, to undo the subversion called Jacobinism, Liberalism, Bolshevism, and whatever other names that may come to us later on, this is the one wish of the right. How this wish is expressed differs according to temperament, religious creed, and nationality, but the core is the same: let us be governed by law, not popular whim; let us kneel before the altar, not public opinion; let us by ruled by gentlemen, not oligarchs; let us respect ancient privileges, not the supposed Rights of Man. Yes, some of us think back to Anglican England, others Puritan America, some Catholic France, and still others Orthodox Russia, but we all dream the dream of a post-revolutionary civilization.
