Donald Trump, always interesting if not obsessively cogent, says that he will deport perhaps 20 million illegal aliens if again elected. Can he? Legally, of course, Trump is in the right. The illegals are in the country illegally and the law clearly says that they may be deported. Polls show that a great many Americans favor the idea. The question is one of practicality. (more…)

Part 4 of 5 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here)
In our previous installment, Socrates has convinced Alcibiades that he is ignorant of justice. Therefore, he should not go into politics until he is educated. But Socrates undermines his argument by pointing out that none of the other eminent Athenians, even Pericles himself, knows what justice is. From this, Alcibiades concludes that if his rivals for power are equally ignorant, he has no need to waste time on education, because he is confident that he can beat them based on his superior nature.

Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “Fear of Calling a Spade a Spade,” on the recent arrest of Joshua Cobb, a black US Marine who was planning a mass shooting of white people — and which is being largely ignored by the media. (more…)

Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born on May 19, 1898 in Rome. Along with René Guénon, Evola is one of the writers who has most influenced the metapolitical outlook and project of Counter-Currents, which is reflected in the fact that Evola is one of the most-tagged writers on this website. In commemoration of his birthday, I wish to draw your attention to the following resources. (more…)

Donald Trump sat down for an extended interview with Time magazine reporter Eric Cortellessa on April 12 to discuss what a second Trump administration would look like. Two weeks later the pair talked again over the phone, and Time published the story soon after. An example of classic Leftist spin, Cortellessa’s story, with the chilling title “How Far Trump Would Go,” is not worth even a fraction of the 26 minutes Time says it will take to read. (more…)

Christian evangelicals — or fundamentalists, to be a little less precise — are in the unenviable position of catching flak from both the Left and the Right. There are some points which have already been discussed quite a bit already on our side of it. On the bright side, they tend to have their hearts in the right place, along with some healthy values. Overall they’re good people, despite what the Leftists say about them, except for certain bloviating televangelists who really are that bad. (more…)

The Statesman, Niccolò Machiavelli’s seminal work, was conceived as something that was intended to codify the laws of politics and the mechanisms of the exercise of power that had not yet been expressed by anyone (since antiquity?) and turn them into clear rules that would be understandable to every prince. In the Ukrainian translation by Anatoly Perepadi, the treatise contains 73 pages. (more…)

„Człowiek n i e dąży do szczęścia; czyni to tylko Anglik.”—Nietzsche
Najważniejsze pytania metapolityki dotyczą tożsamości, moralności oraz możliwości.
Jak dowodzi Carl Schmitt, polityczność oparta jest na rozróżnieniu pomiędzy „my” a „oni”. Pytanie dotyczące tożsamości brzmi: Kim jesteśmy? Oraz: Kim nie jesteśmy? (more…)

One would think that news the FBI has arrested an active US Marine for threatening to go on a shooting rampage against US citizens would be a major news story.
But one would think wrong. As is so often the case, we have ourselves an inconvenient perpetrator and an unprotected target group.
Last Friday at a Marine base in Twentynine Palms, California, federal agents arrested 23-year-old black New Jersey native Joshua Cobb and charged him with transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce. Their case hinges around this social-media post Cobb allegedly wrote on December 17, 2022: (more…)

Satire is a lesson. Parody is a game. — Vladimir Nabokov
The devil, the proude spirit, cannot endure to be mocked. — Thomas Moore
In 2005, a London production of Christopher Marlowe’s sixteenth-century play Tamburlaine the Great was subject to minor editing by its director. A part of one of the scenes needed to be cut, it was decided — not cut down, but cut out. The scene in question showed the burning of books, one of which was the Koran (which the BBC went through a phase of referring to as “the holy Koran”). (more…)
