Praise for Truth, Justice, and a Nice White Country
“This collection of essays once again shows that Greg Johnson is a major figure in the movement promoting explicit White identities and interests. These essays are consistently insightful, beautifully and clearly written, and rigorously argued. Reading them, I am continually impressed by how Greg is able to make difficult issues simple and understandable, to the point that a lot of readers will be asking themselves why they have taken so long to realize the dire straits that Whites and their civilization are in. Greg’s intellectual confidence is infectious to the point that I suspect quite a few readers will come away thinking that the points he is making are not only true, but are obviously true. This book should be distributed far and wide to the converted and unconverted alike. College students, inundated as they are by cultural Marxism, would particularly benefit. The unconverted will sputter with hostility as they begin reading, but I suspect that many will come away with a completely altered worldview.”
—Kevin MacDonald, author of The Culture of Critique
“It does still sometimes happen that percipient individuals can break through the hardened carapace of received orthodoxies and develop original (and therefore dangerous) opinions all of one’s own! Humans are fungible, and society is like a sandbox in which all the particles are entirely equal—who could doubt such a generous thought? The central purpose of life is to increase prosperity, an aspiration more laudable by far than all others added up together. Can anyone deny it? There may be as many as four or five persons in the United States—and by now you know who I mean—who can and do dispute these and kindred imbecilities—(to answer your question I am speaking of Greg Johnson of course)—imbecilities, as I was saying, that are actively relocating the remains of our civilization onto unendurable terrain.”
—Tito Perdue, author of The Node
“Greg Johnson lifted me out of an intellectual gutter of losers and pastors I’d fallen in with after a Slam & The Ice Picks concert in Idaho back before the iPhone. He introduced to me to a loftier level of thinkers who speak and write in complete sentences and don’t sport Viking tattoos. Superb writers on the right side of the political spectrum who ended up on the wrong side of history like Ezra Pound, Martin Heidegger, and Savitri Devi. Greg’s mentoring moved me off the freeway to prison I was speeding along and put me on the path to full acceptance of my inner tweed and tortoise shell white self. If he can work a miracle like that for me he can do the same for you.”
—Charles Krafft, Villa Delirium Delft Works
“Truth, Justice, and a Nice White Country establishes Greg Johnson as the leading intellectual of the New Right. It belongs on every White Nationalist’s bookshelf.”
—Leo Yankevich, author of Journey Late at Night
“In Truth, Justice, and a Nice White Country, Greg Johnson has once again set the banquet table and invited his friends and comrades to come and share his bounty of thought. The thread running through this collection of essays is nothing less than a compelling case for white survival. Johnson’s writing style is incisive yet elegant—profound yet easy to comprehend; complex issues become simple and understandable. All great movements–White Nationalism, included–need their philosophers, their theoreticians, their quiet but deep dreamers, their true and faithful pathfinders who show the rest of us the way. Greg Johnson is all the above, but best of all, he is ours. Read and enjoy.”
—Thomas Goodrich, author of Hellstorm
“Inspiration rules the world. Greg Johnson, in writings such as these, has breathed new inspiration into the struggle to save the White race, which is the greatest battle of our time. If we become great by dedicating ourselves to great tasks, then this is a great book and its author is a great man.”
—Jez Turner, The London Forum
“Greg Johnson’s writing is always direct and clear—‘like a windowpane,’ in George Orwell’s famous phrase. He has a near-magical ability to summarize thorny topics in a few paragraphs, all the while engaging our interest with sprightly, sparkling prose.”
—Margot Metroland
“Sensible, measured, and unafraid of broaching difficult topics, Greg Johnson is building the White Nationalism we’ve all been waiting for. He stares into the abyss but keeps all four hooves firmly on the ground.”
—Buttercup Dew, My Nationalist Pony
“Greg Johnson makes the case that White ethics are only possible in a White country, and to have a White country you must embrace The New Right.”
—Lana Lokteff, Red Ice Radio
“Erudition with clarity is what any writer should strive for. It is a pity that these two characteristics are so often at odds, but not in the writing of Greg Johnson, where they perfectly align. This volume of essays is just as lucid and easy-to-read as his earlier collection New Right vs. Old Right, but there are more signs of the writer’s dry wit and emotional urgency. Johnson’s writing represents the consciousness of Whites who are no longer content to be fobbed off with narratives of White guilt and slow extinction.”
—Colin Liddell, Alternative Right
“A primary American contribution to the world-wide New Right is ethnonationalism, a concept posited as being of universal validity because it is rooted in the biological realities of life. Janus-like, it is at once modern and traditional, timeless and timely. In this collection of essays Dr. Greg Johnson, one of the foremost exponents of ethnonationalism, explains the Idea in theory and practice, covering a multiplicity of fields, and building upon his previous work towards a total world-view for the New Right.”
—Kerry Bolton, author of Artists of the Right
“If you have yet to read Greg Johnson, you are in for a treat. Truth, Justice, & a Nice White Country argues above all the moral case for universal ethnonationalism and, in particular, the continued existence and flourishing of the European peoples worldwide. Johnson’s ever provocative and tightly-argued essays on subjects as diverse as Islam, globalization, health care, marriage, or “game,” always zero in on the question: What is good for our people? Johnson’s essays have that typically Right-wing quality: unabashed earnestness. They will be particularly useful to Europeans seeking an introduction, beyond American History X, to the bogeyman that is White Nationalism. Indeed, the North American New Right – with the United States of America’s venerable intellectual tradition on race and the protection still provided, for now, by the First Amendment – is more explicit and freer in its discourse than anything you can find in Europe. Thus, the Europeans of the New World can help their brethren of the Old in that most foundational of activities: thinking freely. It can be infectious.”
—Guillaume Durocher
“I heartily recommend Greg Johnson’s Truth, Justice, and a Nice White Country, as it contains a wide variety of insightful essays of great interest to any pro-White activist. From the basic problem, to nationalism, to foreign affairs (Ukraine and Russia), to sexual politics: it is all there. Even where I disagree (e.g., Chapter 12), his analyses are cogent and help stimulate the sort of thought and debate desperately required by a ‘movement’ stifled by too many fossilized dogmas. This book is a welcome addition to the library of racial nationalists.”
—Ted Sallis
“Greg Johnson, a leading voice from the American New Right, has assembled in this volume a valuable collection of insightful and learned essays in which he explores and clarifies the difficult issues that confront Western civilization and the political movement dedicated to its survival and resurgence, white racial nationalism.”
—Irmin Vinson, author of Some Thoughts on Hitler

Toward a New Nationalism (Second Edition)
Greg Johnson’s Toward a New Nationalism is a companion volume to his The White Nationalist Manifesto. Toward a New Nationalism offers a White Nationalist analysis of race realism, white identity, the problems with conservatism and libertarianism, “hate,” “white privilege,” American ethnic identity and nationalism, technological utopianism, freedom of speech, metapolitics, the Jewish question, the rise and fall of the Alt Right, and the ethos of idealism, duty, and self-sacrifice that white advocates need to cultivate if they are to change the world. The Second Edition of Toward a New Nationalism is based upon the French edition. It keeps all the essays of perennial importance, but it omits three essays on the “Deep State” and a number of dated, journalistic essays on the Alt Right and adds the classic essay “It’s Okay to Be White.” The result is a slimmer, easier-to-read, and more impactful volume.

The Trial of Socrates
The trial of Socrates is a pivotal event in world history. Before Socrates, philosophy had put society on trial. Now society was striking back. The Trial of Socrates first presents the case for the prosecution based on Aristophanes’ comedy Clouds, which mocks Socrates as a preacher of atheism and moral corruption. The case for the defense is drawn from five of Plato’s dialogues, which explore the permanent tensions between intellectual freedom and social order, as well as how they might be harmonized.

Un fantasma recorre el mundo: el fantasma del Nacionalismo Blanco. Trump, el Brexit, Le Pen, Orbán, Salvini: la política identitaria blanca está en auge.

En El Manifiesto Nacionalista Blanco, Greg Johnson defiende la forma más radical de política identitaria blanca: el Nacionalismo Blanco, que defiende el derecho de todos los pueblos blancos a la autodeterminación.

An Artist of the Right
About An Artist of the Right Charles Wing Krafft, “the dark angel of Seattle art,” was an American painter and ceramicist, as well as a poet and essayist. Straddling the worlds of fine art and “lowbrow” art, Krafft began as a painter of the Northwest School but in the 1990s became famous for his dark and ironic Delft-style ceramics depicting weapons, disasters, and dictators. In the last fifteen years of his life, Krafft became an outspoken Holocaust revisionist and white advocate. An Artist of the Right collects transcripts of some of Krafft’s interviews and talks about his artistic, intellectual, and political journeys.

In 2020, America was hit by three waves of catastrophe: the Covid-19 pandemic, widespread racial violence, and a stolen presidential election, leading to economic devastation, explosions of black crime and white flight in diverse cities, and a government crippled by deep polarization and the stench of illegitimacy.

White Identity Politics
White identity politics is the wave of the future. Since 2015, Western elites have been in full panic at the rising tide of nationalism, populism, and white identity politics. To beat back this tide, the parties of the center-Right and center-Left have formed a united front, along with the media, academia, and big business. They have resorted to campaigns of vilification, censorship, and outright electoral fraud.

Here’s the Thing: Selected Interviews, vol. 2
In his interviews, Greg Johnson is known for expressing radical and sometimes shocking ideas in a calm, rational, unapologetic manner. Here’s the Thing collects ten of his best interviews from 2014 to 2018. The interviews with Darryl Cooper, Tara McCarthy, and Lana Lokteff offer a basic introduction to White Nationalism and the New Right. The first of two conversations with Hugh MacDonald focuses on the treacherous charge of “racism” and different ways to handle it. The conversation with Millennial Woes answers the centrist, civic nationalist objections of video commentator Sargon of Akkad. The discussion with J.M. answers common questions and objections from “normies.”
