HEGEMONIC IDEOLOGY AND THE GRAND MARGINS

He who frames the scene calls the shots.


If the alternative right stands for anything, it stands for metapolitics, which, in essence, is a quest for ideological hegemony by positing a frame that is larger than all the other frames. This, in a nutshell, is what ideology is all about: Whoever can create the biggest frame, while also retaining contact with reality, wins.

This was the great attraction and power of Marxism, despite its evident failure as a tool of prediction and economic organization. It claimed to see the bigger picture and the unseen forces that drove history.
