Jonathan Bowden
Demon
Edited by Alex Kurtagić
London: The Palingenesis Project, 2014

The Jonathan Bowden Project is not a progressive rock band, although transgressive might apply. Rather, it is Alex Kurtagić’s project to republish material from The Collected Works of Jonathan Bowden, in something of a respectable and reader-friendly format; the original having been, apparently, something of a self-published mess.

David Crawford’s Lights Out

Alex Kurtagić

1,621 words

David Crawford
Lights Out
Halfast Publishing, 2010

David Crawford’s Lights Out is one of a constellation of underground post-apocalyptic novels written by American authors in recent years, catering to the prepper / survivalist subculture. These novels would be considered by mainstream readers to be on the political Right, although in reality their authors are libertarians or classical liberals who describe themselves as “conservative.” Read more …

Forgetting Max Horkheimer:
February 14, 1895 to July 7, 1973

Alex Kurtagić

1,310 words

Max Horkheimer died 41 years ago today. Director of the Institute of Social Research from 1930 till 1953, Horkheimer was a leader of the Frankfurt School, a group that became identified with Critical Theory, a wholly speculative concoction blending Marxism and Freudian psychoanalysis.

A Glimpse of the Post-American Future:

John Morgan

When I think of my favorite cities in the United States, Washington, DC is not high on the list. I’ve had to go there, for various reasons, several times over the years, but, except for the time I came as a tourist, it’s never been a place I would imagine spending any more time in than absolutely necessary.

Guildford, U.K.: Iron Sky Publishing, 2009

Gosh, I sure would have enjoyed being present when this book came under the eye of a generic editor at one of the generic American or British publishers, assuming Alex Kurtagić had been innocent enough to submit it. No, I don’t claim such an editor would actually have fainted, or been stricken suddenly by one of the new diseases, not at all. Read more …

Blood and Thunder: The Life and Art of Robert E. Howard
Austin, Texas: Monkeybrain Books, 2006

When Mark Finn read the initial biography of Robert Ervin Howard (Dark Valley Destiny: The Life of Robert E. Howard by L. Sprague de Camp), he was enraged by what he found. Thus, his Blood and Thunder, published some 30 years after de Camp’s, was meant as a corrective: Read more …

Oroonoko; or, the Royal Slave

Aphra Behn (1640–1689) was a prolific dramatist, spy, and Tory propagandist of the English Restoration.

Equality:
A Justification of Privilege, Oppression, & Inhumanity

Alex Kurtagić

The Equalizer

1,539 words

It is a cliché in our Left-leaning liberal society that we must all remain vigilant against any ideology that rejects equality as a morally desirable aim, because, should that ideology achieve political power, we would soon find ourselves back in the slippery slope that begins with a justification of racism and ends with the gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Les femmes sont nos alliées

Alex Kurtagić

Athena, by Philippe-Laurent Roland, 1806, Louvre

1,813 words

Une plainte fréquente parmi les activistes politiques blancs traditionalistes est la sous-représentation de l’engagement féminin dans le militantisme pro-blanc. Un facteur favorisant l’intérêt masculin dans cet effort politique est certainement la crainte qu’un monde dirigé par les traditionalistes radicaux blancs refuserait aux femmes l’autonomie économique, les reléguant dans les rôles traditionnels de mère et de femme au foyer. Et dans une large mesure, on peut pardonner cette méfiance de la part des femmes, car non seulement cette caricature est perpétuée par la culture de l’establishment, mais dans la littérature associée au Nationalisme Blanc on voit peu de choses qui ne confirment pas la caricature : Read more …

Politicized Science vs. Scientific Politics

Alex Kurtagić

Gabriel von Max, “The Vivisectionist,” 1883, detail

2,731 words

It may seem ironic for those who are said to have “far Right views,” but perhaps one of the biggest obstacles in the struggle for the West is the far Right’s obsession with the scientific understanding of human races. It is not so much that scientific knowledge about race is irrelevant to our political purpose (which is the struggle for the West), but, rather, that this science is thought to possess a political utility it does not and will never have.

Why All that Theory?

Alex Kurtagić

Plato and Aristotle from Raphael’s “The School of Athens”

4,336 words

There are those who wonder what the point is in discussing abstract theory while we are losing control over our society, in concrete and measurable ways, on multiple fronts, on a daily basis. For them abstract theory is just words, futile and devoid of meaning because their effect cannot be quantified, because their abundance is disproportionate to their physical effects, and because what ultimately counts for them is what transpires in empirical reality.

Christmas Special
Jingle All the Way:
Reassuringly Fascistic

Alex Kurtagić

1,442 words

Jingle All the Way is a typical feel-good, family-oriented Hollywood Christmas film, loosely falling in the same category as the Home Alone film series (which producer Chris Columbus was also involved with). It is driven by a simple premise and plot, which unfolds against a scenery of prosperous suburbia and mid-Western shopping centres, all postcard beautiful among snow and a superabundance of joyous decorations.
