Revolutionary Conservative Caucus
Encyclopedia
The Revolutionary Conservative Caucus was a small, hard-right pressure group which attempted to introduce a new radicalism into British conservatism.
It was founded in late 1993 by Stuart Millson, an officer of the Western Goals Institute
, and Jonathan Bowden
; members included Mark Cotterill
and Steve Brady formerly of the National Front
, Gregory Lauder-Frost also of the Western Goals Institute
and Derek Turner
.
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 "managed to redraw a right-wing nationalist agenda" and played a crucial part towards introducing philosophical discussion into far-right politics in Britain and was an influence on the establishment of the magazine Right Now! which was edited by Derek Turner.
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".
