Race: The First Principle

2,004 words

It’s a common dodge for opponents of white nationalism, even sympathetic opponents, to charge that “race isn’t enough” to build a society. This misses the point. Of course “whiteness” in and of itself doesn’t solve all problems Read more …

The Trial of Socrates:

6,614 words

Author’s Note:

The following text is a transcript by V. S. of a lecture on the presocratic background of Aristophanes’ Clouds. I have edited this transcript to remove excessive wordiness, and I have added section headings and transitions. I found it sobering to read this transcript, for I discovered just how widely the written and spoken word vary, and how flabby my lectures are compared to my writings.

The Concept of Initiation

Great Eleusis Frieze, Eleusis Museum, Greece, late 5th c. BCE

Great Eleusis Frieze, Eleusis Museum, Greece, late 5th c. BCE

9,609 words

Translated by Bruno Cariou

It is not easy, today, to give an exact idea of what is meant by Initiation and to define the figure of the ‘Initiate’. The main difficulty lies in the necessity of referring to a vision of the world and man, and to structures, which belong essentially to traditional civilisations, distant from the present one, not only from the modern mentality and culture, but also, to a large extent, from the religion which has come to predominate in the West.

Úvahy o estetické a kulturní postavě dandyho, část 3

Robert Steuckers

1,270 words

English version here

Čandalistické dekadentní figury

Existenciální krize, jež započala zhruba v polovině 18. století, vyústila v nihilismus, který Friedrich Nietzsche s odsudkem charakterizoval jako “vyčerpání života” a “znehodnocení všech hodnot”, projevující se vzrušeným neklidem a neschopností si užívat volného času. Právě tento neklid pak urychlil proces vyčerpání. Read more …

Note du Rédacteur :

Dans cet article de 1982, William Pierce fait une superbe démonstration de maîtrise intellectuelle sur la Question Chrétienne. La Nouvelle Droite Nord-Américaine [NANR], bien sûr, n’est pas une organisation avec des adhérents, mais un mouvement et un réseau intellectuel, et donc la question des critères d’adhésion ne se pose pas.

Paulo de Tarso, ou Cristianismo e Judaísmo

3,018 words

Ninguém há que se ponha a estudar seriamente a história do cristianismo, sem deixar-se impressionar pela quase completa inexistência de documentos concernentes aquele cujo nome está intimamente ligado a esta grande religião mundial, a saber: Jesus Cristo. Não sabemos sobre ele, senão o que nos é falado nos evangelhos – vale dizer: praticamente nada; isto porque, se os mesmos são pródigos em relatar-lhes as passagens miraculosas, nada dizem que nos esclareça sobre sua pessoa e, sobretudo, sobre sua origem.

Remembering René Guénon:
November 15, 1886 to January 7, 1951

277 words

René Guénon was born on this day in 1886. Along with Julius Evola, Guénon was one of the leading figures in the Traditionalist school, which has deeply influenced my own outlook and the metapolitical mission and editorial agenda of Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right.

In commemoration of his birth, I wish to draw your attention to the following works on this website. Read more …
