Revolutionary Conservative Caucus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Revolutionary Conservative Caucus was a small, hard-right pressure group founded in late 1993 by Stuart Millson, an officer of the Western Goals Institute, and Jonathan Bowden, that attempted to introduce a new radicalism into British conservatism.[1]
It met limited success in its short existence of under three years, lacking a substantive membership base, although one rumour had them taking over a ward committee of the Conservative Party before being proscribed by Conservative Central Office. Although disbanded after Millson and Bowden parted company, it played a crucial part towards introducing philosophical discussion into far-right politics in Britain, and, it has been suggested, was a major influence on the establishment of the magazine Right Now!, which continued that tradition until its demise at the end of 2006. Stuart Millson remained with Western Goals until it was wound up in 2001, becoming a co-editor with the Traditional Britain Group. He is now with both the Conservative Democratic Alliance, and the Freedom Party.
Bowden went on to play a role in the Bloomsbury Forum, a small philosophical circle whose only publication appears to have been a (P/B) book Standardbearers - British Roots of the New Right, edited by Jonathan Bowden, Eddy Butler, and Adrian Davies, (Beckenham, Kent, April 1999).
In its lifetime, the Revolutionary Conservative Caucus published policy papers as well as a magazine entitled The Revolutionary Conservative. Issue number 1 gave a very full description of the RCC's ideals, which included "a totalitarian onslaught of mind-numbing extremity against Political Correctness". Issue number 4 (Summer-Autumn 1994) had two major treatises on Ethnic Cleansing in Britain, and The Case for Right-Wing European Union.
