Sacco Vandal and Vanzetti Vandal
The American Militant Nationalist Manifesto
Bath, Ohio: Vandal Brothers, 2015

The American Militant Nationalist Manifesto is an important book. And that is true for several reasons. First and foremost, because the authors say things that need to be said. Second, because the time is right for it, especially in view of the staggering events of this year in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the United States — for now. Read more …

Charles Maurras & Action Franҫaise

Jonathan Bowden

Charles Maurras

7,556 words

The following text is the transcript by V. S. of Jonathan Bowden’s last lecture, delivered at The London Forum on March 24, 2012. The original title was “Charles Maurras, Action Franҫaise, and the Cagoule,” but since he does not mention the Cagoule, I dropped it from the online version. I want to thank V. S. for transcribing a largely unlistenable audio track, and Michèle Renouf and Jez Turner for making the recording available.

Fascism: American Style

Patrick Le Brun

1,287 words

Albert Finney portrays Political Machine Boss Leo O’Bannon in the Goebbels Award winning film, Miller’s Crossing (1990)

In recent years, I have encountered a handful of passionate, self-identifying Fascists who have demonstrated that they have absolutely no idea what the term actually means. For some it means a Conan the Barbarian style ethos guiding atomized individuals in a lawless society in which one earns the right to go to the 7-11 by packing a pistol. For another it means a state apparatus which finds inventive ways to apply Biblical punishments to homosexuals. Read more …
