Author of the book “Conservatism: A Rediscovery,” Yoram Hazony writes that the period between 2016 to 2020 was all it took to “shatter the hegemony of enlightenment liberalism.” In its place, neo-Marxism was adopted by liberal leaders and echoed by leading business, education, military, and political institutions in the United States and Britain, said Hazony.

While 2020 saw the rise of neo-Marxist hegemony, it also opened the door for conservatism to make a case for why it is better for civilization, said Hazony, adding that when the dominance of one set of ideas wanes, other ideas naturally come to the fore.
