Angelo Plume [3] (Telegram [4], YouTube [5]) and Matt Parrott [6] (Telegram [7], Substack [8]) were Greg Johnson‘s special guests on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fourth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club: a discussion of Dr. Johnson’s latest book, Against Imperialism [2]. It is now available for download and online listening.

There are some debates among those White Nationalists who wish to build a political movement that are best left until after our race is saved from the brink of extinction, such as:

Ethnonationalism versus imperialism is not one of them, however. Ethnonationalists want a world in which every distinct people has the right to a sovereign homeland. Imperialists want a single white racial state. Wilmot Robertson makes the case for ethnonationalism in his book The Ethnostate, whereas Francis Parker Yockey presents the case for imperialism in Imperium [9]. Other advocates of imperialism include Sir Oswald Mosley, Jean Thiriart, and Guillaume Faye. Against Imperialism was inspired by a lively debate that was held between Greg Johnson and Gregory Hood [10] at our Spring Retreat [11] last year. This stream was a further discussion on these crucial themes.
