Racists, Reds & Radicals

Racists, Reds & Radicals positions itself as a conservative intervention in the racial turmoil of the 1960s, arguing that racism, revolutionary politics, and social unrest are being deliberately conflated and exploited for ideological ends. Written by two clergymen, the book rejects liberal and leftist frameworks outright and reframes racial conflict as a question of individual liberty, property rights, and resistance to coercive social engineering. It advances the claim that communist movements thrive on racial tension, that extremism on all sides feeds disorder, and that both forced segregation and forced integration violate personal freedom. The tone is polemical and prosecutorial rather than conciliatory, presenting itself as a corrective to what the authors regard as moral confusion and political manipulation. This is not a call for compromise but an assertion of a hardline worldview in which racial peace is inseparable from anti-communism and strict limits on state power.
