I am currently reading Ilana Mercer’s “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” which is must reading for traditionalists. Mercer was an anti-apartheid activist who cut and ran from South Africa once her policies became law. She’s now a libertarian (simply a materialist utopian with a different set of materialist assumptions). But she’s written a harrowing account of the logical outcome of the cult of democracy. And though she hasn’t yet completely shed the last vestiges of her liberal world view, the book is superb. 

From the book: 

By foreswearing control over the state apparatus, whites ceded mastery over their destiny, vesting their existential survival in a political dispensation: a liberal democracy. In a needlessly optimistic assumption, whites imagined blacks too would be bound by the same political abstractions, and would relinquish race in favor of a constitutional design as an organizing principle in the society they now controlled. . . . South Africa – with its space program and skyscrapers – was not exactly the product of the people currently dismantling it. . . . Empowering majorities in Africa has helped, not hindered, the propensity of hostile masses to exact revenge on helpless minorities. 

If you haven’t read the book already, at least go to the Amazon link above and read the reviews.
