The Servile Mind: How Democracy Erodes the Moral Life

The book explores the stark contrast between the desperate struggles of individuals fleeing oppressive regimes and the romanticized views of those regimes held by progressive intellectuals. It highlights the irony of people risking their lives for freedom while academics criticize the very societies that offer refuge, framing Western life as oppressive despite the stark realities faced by those under despotism. This tragicomedy reflects ongoing tensions between reality and ideology in the context of modern migration and political discourse.
