How much of an impact did this book have on the ideology and evolution of the American right?Chambers claimed he joined Communist Party USA in the 1920s out of his own nihilism and hatred of the world, got suckered into being a paper boy in the alleged communist underground, then his wife refused to get an abortion which caused him to change his values entirely and abandon communism only to become a rat for the US government.Regardless as to how full of holes his story was, his case ended up getting Richard Nixon into politics and his memoir Witness allegedly turned Ronald Reagan into a staunch anti-communist. Is there anything that links Chambers' memoir to the ideology of Neoconservatism, or the ideological alliance of Neocons with free marketeers and Evangelical Christians in the 80s?It seems like this book is nearly forgotten 35 years after the Cold War ended and Neoconservatism being completely replaced by Trumpism and right-wing populism.

>>524108199Yes. I thought about posting this on /lit/ or /his/.This board is fucking dead. I miss the Evola threads from 2014.
