Premature Populism

Greg Johnson

1,826 words

William Pierce’s article “Skinheads and the Law” is a useful point of departure for discussing an important problem with the White Nationalist movement, a problem that I call premature populism.

Othmar Spann:
A Catholic Radical Traditionalist

Lucian Tudor

Othmar Spann, October 1, 1878–July 8, 1950

4,964 words

Othmar Spann was an Austrian philosopher who was a key influence on German conservative and traditionalist thought in the period after World War I, and he is thus considered a representative of the intellectual movement known as the “Conservative Revolution.” Spann was a professor of economics and sociology at the University of Vienna, where he taught not only scientific social and economic theories, but also influenced many students with the presentation of his worldview in his lectures.

Übersetzt von Deep Roots

Ist die Demokratie aus der Sicht rassebewußter Weißer ein gutes System?

1) Wenn sowohl die Vereinigten Staaten als auch Nordkorea sich als Demokratien beschreiben, kann man mit Sicherheit schlußfolgern, daß „Demokratie“ nahezu alles und nahezu nichts bedeutet. Read more …

Notes on Populism, Elitism, & Democracy

Greg Johnson

Demosthenes

2,974 words

German translation here

Is democracy a good system from the perspective of racially-conscious whites?

(1) When both the United States and North Korea describe themselves as democracies, it is safe to conclude that “democracy” means close to everything and next to nothing. Read more …

The Doctrine of Fascism

Benito Mussolini

Graphic by Harold Arthur McNeill

6,739 words

Editor’s Note:

Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883. In honor of his birthday, I am reprinting his essay “The Doctrine of Fascism,” which I find to be a lucid and profound statement of revolutionary anti-liberalism. Mussolini has much to contribute to the project of a North American New Right, and by his next birthday, I hope this website will better reflect that fact. Read more …

Vilfredo Pareto:
The Karl Marx of Fascism

James Alexander

Vilfredo Pareto, 1848–1923

7,009 words

Italian contributions to political and social thought are singularly impressive and, in fact, few nations are as favored with a tradition as long and as rich. One need only mention names such as Dante, Machiavelli, and Vico to appreciate the importance of Italy in this respect. In the twentieth century too, the contributions made by Italians are of great significance. Read more …

Why the West Will Go Under

William Pierce

3,167 words

The life cycle of a civilization is an extraordinarily complicated affair, subject to a thousand changing influences. It is all too easy for analysts, by focusing their attentions on various of these influences, to reach differing conclusions as to the state of health of the civilization they are studying. This is as true of Western civilization as of any other. Yet there are trends, clearly observable in the West today, which, if not reversed, must inevitably dominate all other influences and bring about the demise of the West. Read more …

In Defense of Royalty

Jef Costello

1,753 words

In recent months, when I would think ruefully of the peculiar life I lead, I took some solace in the thought that soon my invitation to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding would arrive.

Alas it did not, and I am writing these words hours after the nuptials ended – apparently without a hitch (if we don’t count the fashion disaster that was Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie of York). Read more …

The Politics of Resentment

Greg Johnson

1,587 words

White Nationalists believe that the existing multi-racial, multicultural system has set our race on the path to extinction.

White birthrates world-wide are below replacement, while our homelands are being flooded with fast-breeding non-whites who undermine white wages and take far more from our welfare states than they contribute to them, meaning that indigenous whites pay the bills.

Matt Parrott’s Hoosier Nation

Greg Johnson

1,780 words

In the last few months, I have been working in earnest preparing to write The White Nationalist Manifesto. (Don’t expect it too soon, though. It is a project I have been thinking about and writing notes for since June of 2009.) Recently, I have been reading other manifestos and manifesto-like works: The Communist Manifesto, the Futurist manifestos, Francis Parkey Yockey’s The Proclamation of London, George Lincoln Rockwell’s White Power, and the like. None of them, however, struck me as ideal models. Then Matt Parrot’s Hoosier Nation showed up in the Counter-Currents mailbox, and I found my best model yet.

Elites vs. Masses

William Pierce

Franz von Stuck, "Torchlight Parade"

March 2000

One of the most profoundly depressing experiences an American can subject himself to these days is watching the various presidential candidates campaigning on his television screen. My god, what a sorry spectacle! [. . .]

Will the British “Wake Up”?

John Tyndall

Sir Edward Burne Jones, Study for the Sleeping Princess in "The Briar Rose," c. 1881

2,077 words

With nationwide race riots and unemployment up to the 3 million mark, the question is being asked again: will the British people at last wake up and register their rebellion against their rulers through the ballot box and by means of their participation in a mass movement of national renewal?

Mass or Elite?

John Tyndall

John Tyndall, 1934–2005

3,759 words

Mass movement or elite hard core? Force of numbers or force of ideology and dedication? Quantity or quality? These are questions that have always preoccupied British nationalists as they have contemplated the way forward for our movement, and they are indeed very relevant today as we are in the throes of a drastic stocktaking and reappraisal of our political strategy following some hard reverses.

Prospectus for a National Front

William Pierce

3,784 words

Graphic by Harold Arthur McNeill

The following document is the original prospectus for the organization that later became the National Alliance. It contains a great deal of sound thinking about political organizing and goes to refute some of the witless parodies of “vanguardism” being bandied about. Some questions that come to mind: How closely does this prospectus correspond to the actual National Alliance? Do the divergences represent failures to implement this prospectus or changes in plan or both? Read more …

Opening Pandora’s Box:
An Elitist Defence of Modernism

Jonathan Bowden

Shy Titan

657 words

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to various postings which have been placed on the website ‘Stormfront’ in recent weeks. I would like to thank those people who have been supportive of my efforts. [. . .] Other correspondents have been less charitable however. [. . .] But amidst all of the silliness and abuse these people are contriving to make a serious point, and this is: the status of modern or modernist art.
