DENOUNCING THE COMMUNIST HOLIDAY

"Liberators"

by Alex Fontana

@alexfontana88

A few days ago, on April 25th, Italy celebrated a national holiday, La Liberazione d'Italia. This anniversary marks the end of fascism and the Second World War and the liberation from Nazi occupation. Many Italians of the Left rejoice, while many on the Right see it as a “communist holiday.”

THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF THE RIGHT

by James Lawrence

There’s no sense in mincing words anymore: the Alt-Right has hit a wall, and is faced with the hard task of pulling back and searching for a new course. The enemy media are (prematurely) claiming victory. Many progressives are hastening to vindicate the ‘antifa’ domestic terrorist movement, discarding the pretence that liberal misgivings about organised political violence hinge on anything more than crass utilitarianism.

My purpose here is to offer some thoughts on what has happened and how our side can hope to recover its ground. I do not wish to exaggerate the present difficulties, nor blame people in the Alt-Right for suffering a form of outsourced government repression. However, repression by those in power is a constant for us; what has changed is the effectiveness of this repression, which used to meet with a fluid, agile and durable target, and now increasingly enjoys a sluggish, clumsy and brittle one. One major reason for this is that prominent figures in the Alt-Right, protected by a widespread culture of hooting down internal dissent, took strategic and aesthetic decisions that have ended up transforming an antifragile movement into a destructible one.

THE DEATH OF SEX

by Duns Scotus

If there is a problem, it is only logical to yearn for its solution. If your house is on fire, who would not wish for the flames to be doused? If you have a disease, who would not crave an appropriate antidote, even if there were none available. A problem always implies a solution, even a hypothetical one, and even when the solution is worse than the problem, or the cure worse than the disease – that too is simply a problem calling for its own solution.

One of the most intractable problems of humanity is sexuality and its various aspects.

Firstly, it has been essential to human propagation, and for this reason it has been exempt from any truly radical critique – except on the lunatic fringe. Secondly, it has been associated with some of the highest and noblest aspects of human nature, and inextricably intertwined with them. When purified, rarefied, and sublimated, the crude sexual instinct becomes the foundation of such laudable elements of human nature as chivalry, family feeling, masculine honour, and even feminine chastity. Indeed, many of our traditional virtues have developed in symbiosis with – or more accurately in direct opposition to – our sexual natures. To strike at sex, therefore, is to a certain extent to strike at humanity.

AGAINST THE "ANTI-FASCIST" CREEPS

A Review of Alexander Reid-Ross’s “Against the Fascist Creep”

by Keith Preston

For decades, a minor cottage industry of professional “anti-racists” and “anti-fascists” has existed for the purpose of perpetually sounding the alarm about the imminent threat posed by supposed “far right extremists.” The most well-known and influential of these is the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has raked in millions of dollars largely by frightening elderly liberals and Jews old enough to remember the Holocaust with hobgoblin tales about the supposedly persistent rise of neo-Nazism in America.

QUESTIONS FROM A STUDENT

by Colin Liddell

All Alt-Right sites get emails like this nowadays:

"For an article in my college journalism class, I am righting (sic) about the new movement of the Alt Right and what they stand for, not how the media depicts them. For this I was hoping you could answer a few questions about the Alt Right. This would be seen by my teacher only. It won't be published anywhere. This is just for my final."

Usually I am too busy to answer them, but occasionally, if there are not too many questions and things are a bit quiet, I sometimes shoot back some quick answers:

WHY THE GLOBALIST ELITE SHOULD DROP HILLARY AND SUPPORT TRUMP

"Me ne frego"

by Richard Wolstencroft

In his recent speech in Florida, Donald Trump just called out the globalist elite, order, and agenda, so what better time to address the theme of this essay, “Switching Sides.”

My previous piece on Donald Trump "GET Trump" proved spot on. The accusations of mainstream anti-Trump media bias have only increased ten-fold since I wrote the article. So, I thought I’d address some of the core issues head on. As the Globalist Elite is nefariously mercurial as a topic, the essay may venture into metaphor and metaphysics, speculation and conspiracy theory, and suggest some radical solutions and Gordian-Knot-cutting-style solutions.

While obviously targeted at the Alt Right Audience, it is also aimed, with all due respect, at our Globalist Overlords, who could perhaps take a few tips from the Alt Right about possible ways forward.

THE MYTH OF "THE BATTLE OF CABLE STREET"

If you think all police are "fascists," then, yes, it was a battle against "Fascism."

by Kevin Scott

The liberals and the far-left are getting themselves very excited about the eightieth anniversary of the so-called 'Battle of Cable Street', which happened on the 4th of October, 1936, on the streets of east London.

On the 9th of October, later this month, the Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, will both speak at a rally hosted by the London Jewish Forum, also attended by the chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, to commemorate the event.

FASCISM: GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT?

Todd Lewis and Keith Preston discuss the most controversial ideology of all. Listen here.

It's also interesting to compare Todd's analysis of fascism with that of Paul Gottfried.

SUPER-POP FASCISM vs SUPER-BLACK POWER

The Cultural Jihad

by Alex Fontana

There has been uproar in rightist circles – with some spillover into the mainstream media – over the transfiguration of pop culture characters of White identity to minority identity. There is certainly an agenda at work here, perhaps driven by the liberal proclivities of comic book creators, many of whom were and are Jewish, an agenda that interestingly rubs up against the "pop fascism" element in comic books sagaciously identified by Jonathan Bowden.

As leftist journalist Richard Cooper put it in an article entitled Superheroes are a Bunch of Fascists:

"The main problem is force: sheer physical force, which lies at the heart of the superhero myth…
I was reminded of this by Jor-El’s speech in Man of Steel: 'You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.'
How, though? Those watching him can’t fly, topple buildings or fire heat rays from their eyes. What else does Superman do other than these purely physical feats?"

Cooper misses the point completely in two regards. First, he assumes that violence is a characteristic of fascism and fascism only. Georges Sorel’s Reflections on Violence (1908) arguably inspired more left-wing violence than right-wing, and when it did inspire right-wing violence, through Benito Mussolini, it was his fluency with leftist discourse that precipitated it.

HEGEMONIC IDEOLOGY AND THE GRAND MARGINS

He who frames the scene calls the shots.

by Colin Liddell

If the alternative right stands for anything, it stands for metapolitics, which, in essence, is a quest for ideological hegemony by positing a frame that is larger than all the other frames. This, in a nutshell, is what ideology is all about: Whoever can create the biggest frame, while also retaining contact with reality, wins.

This was the great attraction and power of Marxism, despite its evident failure as a tool of prediction and economic organization. It claimed to see the bigger picture and the unseen forces that drove history.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OUR OLD FRIEND?

No man is a prophet in his own land. On this, Sir Oswald Mosley's birthday, here is a short piece of fiction that attests to this fact.

by Colin Liddell

Here in the bars, bazaars, and dens of iniquity that make up the ex-pat Far East, you run into your fair share of cads, chancers, and 'rum' fellows – the sort of chaps whose eccentricities and slight quirks go unnoticed amid the teeming masses of Asia. The broad-minded and perpetually distracted Oriental, it seems, has a nasty habit of lumping all White men in together and glossing over the subtle codes and hierarchies by which we define ourselves.

BRAZIL: FOOTBALL OR FASCISM?

The Eagle has landed.

by Colin Liddell

There are only two factors that unite Brazil – the Portuguese language and their pride in their 'national' football ("soccer") team. Almost everything else – regional rivalries, racial differences, economic inequalities, and diverse climate zones – drives the nation apart. Even Catholicism, since the inception of Liberation Theology, has become more of a divisive force. It is interesting, therefore, to consider what effect their drubbing at the hands of Germany in the World Cup semi-finals will have on the nation.

It is also interesting to ponder on the cultural semantics of an overtly German team – even one that isn't quite pure itself – crushing a team that is a kind of poster child for the great multiracial hybrid future that we are all supposed to stroll willingly towards. Alas the main talisman of this mongrelized team, Neymar, a mixed race player with naturally kinky hair who has straightened and dyed his hair blond, couldn't make the game due to his injury in Brazil's quarter-final victory over Colombia – a somewhat darker version of themselves.

NATIONALISM THROUGH APATHY

Flags filling the void.

by Francisco Albanese & Colin Liddell

Although the result of the elections for the European Parliament were controversial, it is ironic that the gains made by Eurosceptic and "far-right" parties were largely the result of the dysfunction and apathy caused by the EU's existence. An important question to ask is: Without that, where would Euronationalism be?

EVER GREATER AND LESS JUDGMENTAL INTERACTION BETWEEN ALL THE BLOBS ON PLANET EARTH

The End of History?

by Colin Liddell

According to Professor Dugin, there have been three distinct ideologies since the dawn of the modern age – Liberalism, Marxism, and Fascism – and we are now moving into the era of the Fourth Ideology. Dugin clearly hopes that he can influence how this turns out, but this is a paradoxical belief because underlying Dugin's ideas is the notion of a kind of natural progression of ideologies.

This deterministic pattern is apparent if we consider the subjects of the three ideologies, which are, in ascending order, the Individual, the Class, and the Nation/Race. Dugin's hope is that the subject of the Fourth Ideology will be Heidegger's concept of Dasein, which, in its essence, is almost a kind of animism in that it is a rejection of the hyper-connectivity and hyper-standardization of modernity.

This ideological subject represents a break with the sequence of the three earlier ideologies.

Another important difference is that, while the preceding ideologies were each expressions of modernity, his Fourth Ideology is anti- or amodernist at a time when humanity en masse is giving in to the various temptations of modernity.

THE ANTIFA WHO CRIED “WOLF!”

by Colin Liddell

The lupine grace of footballer and now manager Paulo Di Canio is entirely appropriate to the present unlikely situation in the UK, where he was recently appointed manager of Sunderland AFC, a major soccer team in a large Northern town. The wolfish mien of the 44-year-old manager is appropriate because Di Canio is playing the part of the wolf in the age old story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” you know the one that finally turns up at the end of the story when the cries, screams, and – perhaps in some versions – death agonies of the silly little boy go unnoticed.

ANARCHO-FASCISM

by Jack Donovan

"In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society."
—Situationist graffiti, May 1968

As a political ideology, fascism was a mixed bag of 20th Century ideas. Its athletic presence hung with flirty, politically expedient schemes like universal suffrage, in many ways last century’s fascism was defined by its responses to other political movements of the time—like Marxism and liberal capitalism.

But, just beyond the historical details of fascism, there is something eternal. Italian writer Umberto Eco called it “Ur-fascism” —meaning “primitive” or “original.” Unfortunately, his snatchy “fourteen points” were overly concerned with the top-down totalitarianism of fascism’s notable dictators and their party boys. His “ur-fascism” wasn’t “primitive” enough. It wasn’t “eternal” at all.

DUGIN GETS IN THE RING

Whither the Fourth Political Theory?

by Colin Liddell

The Fourth Political Theory is a book that is clearly not short on ambition. I haven't actually read it, but I already know more or less what is in it from past writings by its author, Professor Alexandr Dugin, as well as the lengthy video presentation he gave of his ideas at the Identitarian Ideas conference held earlier this year in Stockholm.

Dugin believes there have been three great ideologies in modern history – Liberalism, Communism, and Fascism/National Socialism – and that we are now seeing the formation of the Fourth, which is still waiting to be properly christened and so is known by an ordinal. In the footsteps of Locke, Marx, and Mussolini, we now have Dugin.

CODREANU AND THE WARRIOR ETHOS

by Keith Preston

European civilization of the early to middle twentieth century was characterized in part by the growth of political movements with a martial character. These included both the many variants of fascism from the far Right and revolutionary socialist currents from the far Left. The proliferation of such movements accelerated sharply in the interwar period. Particularly noteworthy were Mussolini’s Fascisti and the National Socialists of Germany, given the later success of these at actual achievement of state power, as well as the various factions involved in the Spanish Civil War. Romania’s Iron Guard, under the leadership of Corneliu Codreanu, was unique among these movements in that it was one of the few such tendencies with a strong religious orientation, and a highly eccentric religiosity at that. (Payne, 1995)
