'''War and Democracy''' is a 2012 page book by [[Paul Gottfried]] published by [[Arktos]].

== Publisher description ==
"''War and Democracy'' presents a selection of essays and reviews by Paul Gottfried written from 1975 to the present. They cover a variety of topics, both historical and contemporary, ranging from [[Oswald Spengler]] and the [[Frankfurt School]] to the destruction of [[classical liberalism]], the dumbing down of higher education and the increasing dominance of administration in democratic governments.

Most crucially, Gottfried sees Western governments as engaged in a messianic fantasy of bringing [[democracy]] to the world, an imperialist endeavor that has only brought disaster to all nations concerned, while liberties at home are being gradually curtailed.

A recurring theme is the transformation of the modern West, and how the meanings behind the ideas and concepts which helped to build our [[civilization]] have been altered to create a new type of society that bears a connection with that of our forefathers in name only. He points out that the history we are taught and the “Right” that we know today have become signifiers for a very different reality that is in many ways opposed to what they stood for previously. Gottfried remains tenacious in his defense of the original meaning and purpose behind the conservative movement, which favors organic social growth as opposed to imposition through force and an expanding bureaucracy.

“The notion that all countries must be brought – willingly or kicking and screaming – into the democratic fold is an invitation to belligerence. The [[Democratic peace theory|notion that only democracies such as ours can be peaceful]] is what [[Edmund Burke]] called an ‘armed doctrine.’ … It is simply ridiculous to treat the pursuit of peace based on world democratic conversion as a peaceful enterprise. This is a barely disguised adaptation of the [[Communist]] goal of bringing about world harmony through worldwide socialist revolution.”

== About the author ==
[[Paul Gottfried]] (b. 1941) has been one of America’s leading intellectual historians and [[paleoconservative]] thinkers for over 40 years, and is the author of many books, including the landmark ''Conservatism in America'' (2007). A critic of the [[neoconservative]] movement, he has warned against the growing lack of distinctions between the Democratic and Republican parties and the rise of the managerial state. He has been acquainted with many of the leading American political figures of recent decades, including [[Richard Nixon]] and [[Patrick Buchanan]]. He is Professor Emeritus of Humanities at Elizabethtown College and a Guggenheim recipient.
