From a liberal perspective, there exists a logical (and also emotional) resistance to the use of concepts, terminologies, and ideas that are foreign to modernity, since for liberalism, being born detached from the latter, such foreign concepts, terminologies, and ideas would a priori be anti-modern and therefore anti-liberal.
A significant problem that has arisen for liberalism, as well as for the more conservative Right detached from modernity, is that the Left(s) have shifted the political battleground, relocating to new terrains and implementing new rules of engagement, where individuals and social groups are addressed and bombarded on different planes than were imaginable a few decades ago.

The Affirmative Action Empire: Nations and Nationalism in The Soviet Union, 1923-1939
Ithaca, N. Y.: Cornell University Press, 2001
Empires are based on a core ethnic group with a well-organized military, a robust economy, and a functional government whose history of fairmindedness and even judgement is such that those outside the core ethnic group can put their trust in it. (more…)

Judd Blevins was recently recalled from his position as a City Councilman in Enid, Oklahoma. This was not because of any malfeasance on his part, but because he has views and past associations which are deemed as “problematic” in Our Democracy.™
Blevins received 40% of the vote to his opponent Cheryl Patterson’s 60%. The election had an extremely high turnout, with 1,390 voting in the recall as compared to 808 when Blevins was first elected. (more…)
Only one word in the English language can get you killed if you say it — or, in many cases, merely if your murderer claims you said it.
In his essay “Why The N-Word Is Not Just Another Word,” black writer H. Lewis Smith attempts to explain why this word has acquired its verboten status: (more…)

Author’s Note: I am typing up and editing my lecture notes on Plato’s Alcibiades I and Gorgias to incorporate them into a new book tentatively entitled Tyranny and Wisdom: An Introduction to Platonic Philosophy. The Phoenician neoplatonist philosopher Iamblichus (c. 245–c. 325) placed the Alcibiades I first and the Gorgias second in his curriculum of Plato’s dialogues, and with good reason, for together they constitute an excellent introduction to Socratic moral and political philosophy.
The following is editor and publisher Amory Stern‘s Introduction to his collection of previously untranslated essays by the Romanian writer Mihai Eminescu, Old Icons, New Icons. The book is available in both Kindle and paperback editions.
Of peasant ancestry on his father’s side and boasting aristocratic (boyar) maternal roots, the Romanian poet, prose writer, and editorialist Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) had not put his modest inherited wealth to waste. Educated in the German language since childhood, Eminescu was culturally — if not always geopolitically — an enthusiastic Germanophile. (more…)

Nowej Prawicy przeciw Starej Prawicy
Z przedmową Kevina MacDonalda
Przekład: Jarosław Ostrogniew
Greg Johnson’s New Right vs. Old Right is now in Polish.
Dr Greg Johnson, bazując na ideach europejskiej Nowej Prawicy, proponuje nowe podejście do białego nacjonalizmu w Ameryce Północnej. Nowa Prawica przeciw Starej Prawicy jest zbiorem 32 esejów, w których dr Johnson przedstawia swoją wizję „metapolityki” białego nacjonalizmu i odgranicza ten nurt od faszyzmu oraz narodowego socjalizmu („Starej Prawicy”), a także od konserwatyzmu i klasycznego liberalizmu („Fałszywej Prawicy”).

As you probably already know, the “Left wing” versus “Right wing” political chasm first appeared when it cracked through the French National Assembly during the Revolution of 1789, when defenders of France’s monarchy and the Catholic faith positioned themselves on the right side of the Assembly, and supporters of the republican revolutionaries aligned themselves on the left side. The most technically correct and pedantic definition of “Right wing”, therefore, is a political system or ideology which favors hierarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, tradition, and Catholicism. (more…)

For years I worked as police reporter for the Washington Times, spending long hours in squad cars in various cities getting to know cops well. Now I listen to nice white people in the suburbs, and self-assured voices from National Public Radio (NPR), talking about the police. They know nothing of the world where the police work. (more…)
Guest host Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) led a conversation with Endeavour (Substack, Telegram, YouTube), Greg Johnson, Karl Thorburn (Telegram), and David Zsutty on formative experiences that got them to question whether multiculturalism can work on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio. This led to a wide-ranging discussion of a number of issues, and there were of course questions from the audience. The broadcast is now available for download and online listening.

Travis LeBlanc dropped a lot of wisdom and perspective on us regarding the Second World War and the Jewish Holocaust in two recent essays for Counter-Currents. Judging from the comments in response to them, it seems the Counter-Currents readership is well aware of this and appreciates his efforts. I certainly do. Although he expressed a fair number of historical opinions regarding the world wars, his main thrust was to discourage what he calls “spergery,” or how the excessive, specialized interest in the Second World War among dissidents can quickly drive a political movement into the weeds. Or even cause it to crack up altogether through absurd purity spiraling: (more…)
In the early 1980s I was involved with the startup of a “humor magazine” that never went anywhere after its colorful-but-vague pilot issue. Apart from a couple of National Lampoon veterans, we were mostly post-collegiate types, full of quirky, off-the-wall ideas from our own days at colorful-but-vague college humor mags. It was around this time that one of my colleagues mentioned, as a bit of curious arcana, that he had heard that somewhere out there was a racist humor magazine. (more…)
