A propos de cet article

A later issue of the long-running right wing newspaper notable for reprinting Francis Parker Yockey's first published article, "The Tragedy of Youth," which originally appeared in the August 21, 1939 issue of Father Coughlin's magazine Social Justice. In the essay, Yockey "addressed the moral decay imposed on young Americans by a corrupt system, and the forces that were pushing them to war" (Bolton, p. 18). As Bolton relates, beginning in 1966, Common Sense adopted a more Yockeyan tone, especially in its nuanced approach to the Soviet Union. This shift in direction was under the influence of contributor Fred Farrell (Morris Horton) and cost the newspaper a third of its subscribers (see Bolton, pgs. 333-339). Yockey's article was part of this issue's thematic focus on right wing youth, and includes a lengthy article by Revilo P. Oliver titled "After Fifty Years," in which he documents the failure of establishment conservatism and advocates support for right wing youth as embodied by the National Youth Alliance, and reprints Tom Anderson's article "To Young People," originally published in the Southern Farm publication. Tabloid format printed in black on newsprint, 4 p. Folds for mailing, else a near fine copy. Reference: Bolton, Kerry. Yockey: A Fascist Odyssey. London: Arktos, 2018.
