Conservatism, particularly the new and vibrant populist MAGA variant, is in danger of becoming ahistorical; that is, lacking knowledge of the historical record to a point where we no longer know what happened in the past and cannot act on the lessons embodied by that experience.

This has already happened to the American Left, which stumbles from one crusade to the next without any clear understanding of how any of it fits into a broader historical context, whether it involves their own history, that of the U.S., or that of the world as a whole. This is awfully strange, considering that the forces of history, as embodied in the “historical dialectic,” play such a key role in Marxism itself.
