In 2015, the magnitude of the migration crisis was such that the future of Sweden, the country that had welcomed more migrants than any other country (on a per capita basis) and that is frequently described by the UN as the ‘best country to live in, in the world’, looked less than certain. Its neighbour, Norway, began preparing for its collapse. And yet, the majority of Swedes approved apparently of the changes imposed on their model society.

The essays in this book attempt to deconstruct the ideology of this liberalist multiculturalism. However, the essays’ thematic focus reaches far beyond Sweden, addressing topics as diverse as political correctness, the psycho-cultural problem of groupthink, the threat of Islamism, infringements on the freedom of speech and the flawed democracy of a federalist Europe. What ties all the essays together is an urgent need for a new kind of green conservative thinking that can more effectively challenge the discourse of globalisation, the ideology of liberalism and that can prioritise the local over the global.

There is some evidence that the tide is beginning to change. In one of the most momentous events in living history, Britain voted to leave the European Union. Political parties that wish to preserve national sovereignty have gained in support. With the referendum result, Britain can perhaps begin to look ‘over the brow of the hill’ to a more independent, outward-looking and free future. But for countries like Germany and Sweden which struggle with a liberal guilt complex, it is not yet clear whether their people will break free from the liberalist ideology, and grasp once again basic common-sense. Or whether they will become in the name of ‘multiculturalism’, the new failed States of the European Continent.

2015年，移民危机的规模之大，使瑞典的未来看起来不那么确定，这个欢迎移民的国家（按人均计算）比任何其他国家都多，而且经常被联合国描述为 "世界上最适合居住的国家"。其邻国挪威开始为其崩溃做准备。然而，大多数瑞典人显然赞同强加给他们的示范社会的变化。

本书中的文章试图解构这种自由主义的多元文化的意识形态。然而，这些文章的主题焦点远远超出了瑞典，涉及到政治正确性、群体思维的心理文化问题、伊斯兰主义的威胁、对言论自由的侵犯以及联邦制欧洲有缺陷的民主等各种主题。将所有文章联系在一起的是对一种新的绿色保守主义思想的迫切需求，这种思想能够更有效地挑战全球化的话语和自由主义的意识形态，并且能够将本地的东西置于全球之上。

有一些证据表明，潮流正在开始改变。在活着的历史上最重要的事件之一，英国投票离开欧盟。希望维护国家主权的政党获得了支持。随着公投的结果，英国也许可以开始 "越过山头"，展望一个更加独立、外向和自由的未来。但对于像德国和瑞典这样在自由主义罪恶感中挣扎的国家来说，还不清楚他们的人民是否会从自由主义意识形态中挣脱出来，再次掌握基本的常识。或者他们是否会以 "多元文化 "的名义，成为欧洲大陆新的失败国家。
