Talks about the history of liberalism and specifically equality and anti-equality political ideas going back to Aristotle. Talks about reactionary thought and how and why they oppose political equality. Guy seems to define the left-right spectrum as being more about the right being way more fine with hierarchies and inequality. Touches and a lot of side-topics too. Not sure I totally agree with everything, but it's good.
