Termín populismus se v Americe hojně rozšířil od vzestupu Donalda Trumpa, v Evropě pak ještě o něco dříve, jako negativně zabarvené zastřešující označení protiimigračních protestních stran. Po všelidovém hlasování o Brexitu a zvolení Trumpa prezidentem se v anglicky hovořícím světě vyrojily knihy o populismu jako houby po dešti. Vsadil bych si, že za mnoha z nich stojí zadání vypočítavých vydavatelů, kteří doufali ve snadný zisk z náhle módní materie. (more…)

On July 4, Americans celebrated their supposed (now former) independence as the land of the free and the home of the brave. The very next day, Trump unequivocally disavowed Project 2025.
So, what is Project 2025, what is the group’s goals, and who is behind it? (more…)

I enjoyed Fred Reed’s April 24 essay “Ignorance, Its Uses and Nurture,” which refers to universal suffrage in anything larger than a small town as a “crackpot” idea. In a mere thousand words, Reed painted the American public as entirely incapable and unqualified to understand United States foreign policy, let alone vote on it. Therefore, he concludes, the entire democratic system is a sham. Yes, the statistics he presents bolster his point admirably. But maybe not as much as epic burns such as this one: (more…)

The Authentic Reactionary: Selected Scholia of Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Translated with commentary by Ramon Elani
North Augusta, S. C.: Arcana Europa Media, 2023
Large linguistic communities such as the English and Spanish-speaking worlds are peculiarly liable to insularity. It was only in the late 1980s that a few adventurous German souls caught on to the existence of then-septuagenarian Colombian aphorist Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994). From there, awareness of his work spread to other European countries. (more…)
