Casa Pound

Martin Lichtmesz

2,417 words

Translated by Adam D. Smith

“With usura hath no man a house of good stone,” wrote Ezra Pound in Canto XLV. “Usura” is symbolic of the culture destroying, hostile, and inhumane reign of interest, capital, and the banks. Pound also said: “A man can inhabit one house, also another, but a third is capital with which he wants to earn money.”

6) Mišimova literatura akce

Pojďme se nyní zaměřit na styčné body Mišimovy literatury a fašismu z literárního úhlu pohledu. Pokud bychom chtěli popsat Mišimovu tvorbu jedním slovem, dozajista bychom užili termínu literatura “akce.” Zejména jeho pozdní práce se vyznačují silnými aktivistickými tendencemi. Read more …

Assim como Mussolini olhava para a Roma Antiga por um modelo de uma sociedade sadia e orgânica, os antigos romanos olhavam para Esparta. Read more …

“Větší účast na moci znamená odlišné vědomí, cítění, odhodlanost a odlišný úhel pohledu.” Friedrich Nietzsche [1]

“Ocel mě poctivě naučila o souladu mezi duší a tělem: zdálo se mi, že slabé emoce mají za následek ochabování svalů, sentimentalita se projevuje ochabnutím žaludku a přecitlivělost má za následek přecitlivělou bledou kůži. Read more …

Oswald Spengler:
May 29, 1880–May 8, 1936

Kerry Bolton

4,970 words

For the Right, one might disagree with Oswald Spengler, but one cannot ignore him. Of course, for the Left and orthodox academia, the simplistic option is to ignore him. Spengler continues to pose a challenge, and his great questions of our epoch have yet to be fully answered. But it is essential that the questions are at least asked.

When Mussolini Scorned Hitler

Andrew Hamilton

Italy's Benito Mussolini

2,325 words

Italian leader Benito Mussolini assumed power in 1922. Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933.

Hitler had long idolized Mussolini, and during the first years of Hitler’s rule Mussolini remained a much more commanding figure on the international stage. Indeed, Hitler was often ridiculed in the world press as an absurd, puny version of the Italian leader.

Dominique Venner

English original here

Навіть його власне ім’я повернулось проти нього. І дійсно, навряд чи хто втішатиметься епітетом «макіавеліанський». В уяві одразу вимальовуються тіні підступної та зрадливої жорстокості. Та все ж до написання свого найвідомішого та найскандальнішого твору – «Державець» Макіавеллі привела турбота про його батьківщину – Італію. Read more …
