No library in America features Francis Parker Yockey’s The Enemy of Europe in a Banned Books Week display, even though the printers’ plates were smashed and all available copies were burned in 1952 on the orders of West Germany’s liberal democratic regime. Seventy years later, The Enemy of Europe has been brought back from the ashes in the Centennial Edition of Francis Parker Yockey’s Writings.
We are pleased to announce that now The Enemy of Europe’s return is complete. (more…)

Greg Johnson was the guest on a recent broadcast of the Patriotic Alternative Book Club, where he discussed and reviewed Francis Parker Yockey’s book The Enemy of Europe with Aunt Sally, Natty, and Mark Collett, and the recording of the stream is now available for download and online listening. Written in the 1950s, The Enemy of Europe, which was recently published in a new translation by Counter-Currents, argues that the greater threat to Europe during the Cold War was not the Soviet Union, but in fact the liberal democracy of the United States.

Having read Morris van de Camp’s and Kathryn S.’s recommended reading lists, I thought that I’d like to do one of those. The problem is, however, that due to my miseducation and subsequent intellectual deformity, I have no specialized focus, and as such I had no idea how to thematically list five books that people should definitely read. It bothered me greatly. But then it hit me: My lack of focus is itself a product of a specific intellectual path I’ve taken. (more…)

Much could be said about Laibach (and has been, here at Counter-Currents). The name is the German form of Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital city. The language choice references their Austro-Hungarian past, and depending on who you ask, maybe some other era, too. Their sound is one of a kind, as unique as that of Laure LePrunenec. Laibach is best described as an industrial band with heavy martial and totalitarian influences. One notable characteristic of their unique presentation is walking a tightrope between fascist aesthetics and socialist realism. (more…)

From the very start of the conflict in Ukraine I’ve made clear that I don’t take a side, because the very fact that a World War is brewing while the world economy is already teetering on collapse will be bad for the United States no matter who wins, assuming that there will be any winners when the radioactive dust settles.

The pro-Kremlin crowd in online Dissident Right spaces has one argument that they love above all others. Mike Peinovich made it in his recent post about how utterly right he is (in his view) to support Russia over Ukraine. Greg Johnson from Counter-Currents offered to debate him on that point, an offer which Joel Davis and Mark Collett both seconded, an offer which Mike and The Right Stuff (TRS) will no doubt refuse.

The following is a chapter from Francis Parker Yockey’s The Enemy of Europe, which is now available in a new translation from Counter-Currents.
“Today some people are prepared to transfer broad economic areas less amenable to speculation, such as the mining and railroad industries, to the care of a pseudo-state. But, of course, they intend to retain the behind-the-scenes prerogative of making this ‘state’ an executive organ of their own business interests through the democratic forms of parliamentarism, i.e., by paying for election campaigns and newspapers and thus controlling the opinions of voters and readers.

Exciting news! Counter-Currents aims to raise $300,000 this year to sustain and expand our work, including organizing real-world community events and creating a new public policy institute. Last week, we crossed the half-way point. This week we got one percent more toward our goal. Thus far, we have raised, $165,019.30, which is 55% of our goal. Thank you, everyone who has helped out.
There’s a lot of bad news right now. (more…)

To be ethnocentric and white in the West these days amounts to posing a challenge to the corrupt established order. Either as tacit spectators or active participants in our demographic and cultural struggles, such people threaten the purported existential notions of our leaders: those of liberal democracy and racial egalitarianism.

Savitri Devi was a philosopher, a religious thinker, and a tireless polemicist and activist for the causes of animal rights, European pagan revivalism, Hindu nationalism, German National Socialism, and — after the Second World War — pan-European racial nationalism. She also sought to found a religion, Esoteric Hitlerism, fusing National Socialism with the Traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius Evola. All told, she was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the 20th century. (more…)

History is important, American history particularly so. For better or worse — and I still don’t know if it’s for better or worse — everything America does and fails to do affects the world. President Clinton was very cautious about getting involved in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s because he was thinking of the Vietnam War. George W. Bush went on to attack Iraq because he was thinking of the “lessons” of the Second World War. (more…)

Last Saturday night at about 8:15 in a mostly white neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia, about 100 marauding youths — every last one of them black — brought psychedelic shockwaves of vibrancy to a Wawa convenience store. They looted items, knocked down display cases, and jumped up and down on cars outside with hormonal teen-primate fury. (more…)

Jesse James was a man
He was known throughout the land
He was bold, he was bad, but he was brave;
But that dirty little coward
That shot down Mr. Howard
Has gone and laid poor Jesse in his grave . . .

You’ll often hear that the masses have no ideology, but I’m here to disabuse you of that notion. As observed by the great Arab political scientist Osama bin Laden, when people see a weak horse and a strong horse, they back the strong one. An appeal to the masses can only succeed when coming from the strong horse. In other words, the masses back a winner. (more…)

The thesis of this essay is that it is wise to be superstitious. To put it differently, I will argue that my readers should be superstitious — or that they should embrace the superstitious nature they already have (for most of us have it), rather than try to disown superstition. (more…)

One of the more fascinating spectacles of the twentieth century’s totalitarian smoke and mirrors was the show trial, courtesy of Joseph Stalin. With his Leninist view of history and its underlying theme of the triumphal ascendency of the Socialist Man as the thematic driver, the show trial — a fake legal proceeding with built-in theatrics — would become the national stage for an elaborate morality play and “teachable moment” that affirmed the moral perfection of Big Brother.
