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…)

I was recently asked to make some subtle aesthetic adjustments to the Counter-Currents website. If I’ve done the job well, no one will even notice the changes. The task required me to go through the archives all the way back to the summer of 2010, the year Greg Johnson broke digital ground and Counter-Currents went online. (more…)

My father is Italian. He was born in London in the 1960s. At no point was he ever under the impression that he was English. I assume that no one else, certainly not his Italian parents, considered him to be English either, regardless of his birthplace. Nor did his parents, my grandparents, believe that by moving to London their ethnicity had magically changed and that they were now English too. In fact, judging by conversations I’ve had with my Italian grandmother and my uncle, living in England only served to put the differences between Anglo and Italic in starker contrast. (more…)

Pox Populi, who is now going publicly by his real name of Angelo Plume, recently recorded a short video on the ethnic cleansing of whites from the mainstream media as well as history. The interview expands upon points he first made in his essay “There Won’t Be a Shire.” (more…)

Do you remember when people were saying that Tucker Carlson was finished? He had been fired from FOX News, and although he appeared to enjoy a triumphant return on X, within a few months the excitement of his reappearance had worn off. (more…)

Skirmishes in the Atrium is a new collection of poems written by Arthur Powell. Tucked inside the pages of poetry are also four essays: “Poetry as Common Folklore,” “Why Poetry Should Matter to Right Wing Dissidents,” “Stop with the Kipling,” and “Art and a Secular Soul?” The essays present compelling food for thought, particularly “Why Poetry Should Matter” and “Stop with the Kipling.” The decision to include them was a wise one, and their placement alongside the poems was done with evident care and intent.

Hall monitors are students, usually found in American schools, who eagerly volunteer to patrol the corridors of their campus or building and ensure that their fellow students aren’t breaking any rules. Essentially, they do the petty work so that the real authority figures at school can focus on other things.
Is there a better metaphor to describe today’s mainstream media class? (more…)

The 2023 nationalist activist MVP of the year, Keith Woods, recently wrote an article on society and its ideal size and scale. It’s a very good article. Drawing from thinkers such as Aristotle, Rousseau, and Leopold Kohr, Woods — in a studious and methodical manner — showcases the argument in favor of societies and systems of government which maintain a small population. He is primarily, almost exclusively, concerned with the governance of society. (more…)

Does it really matter? Is it even worth it? When it comes to redressing the official World War Two narrative — what I call the Steven Spielberg version of history — these are questions we have all asked ourselves at some point or another. For my part, I wholeheartedly wish we could just move on from WWII. I wish it were treated as any other war from history and that we needn’t waste so much time and energy dismantling that Steven Spielberg recounting of events. (more…)

In 1941, Jewish-American businessman Theodore Kaufman wrote Germany Must Perish! This 96-page booklet advocated for “the extinction of the German nation and the total eradication from the earth of all her people” via forced sterilization. Fun fact: Between the pages of Germany Must Perish! and Mein Kampf, one can find an open call to annihilate an entire race of people only in the former. (more…)

Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $92,974, or 31% of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) And now, Pox Populi offers a few words on why we can’t expect idealism alone to sustain the alternative dissident Right media ecosystem that has been painstakingly built in recent years forever — and why we can’t afford to lose it.
