Aký je význam toho, čo nazývam starou pravicou, t.j. nemeckého národného socializmu, talianskeho fašizmu a iných spriaznených medzivojnových národno-populistických hnutí, vo vzťahu k dnešnému bielemu nacionalizmu?

Táto otázka by nevyvstala, ak by tu nebolo žiadne spojenie. Mnohé myšlienky bieleho nacionalizmu sú buď priamymi potomkami ideológií starej pravice, alebo sú jej bratrancami, t.j. zdieľajú spoločných predkov, sú vetvami rovnakého ideologického stromu. (more…)

What is the relevance of what I call the Old Right — German National Socialism, Italian Fascism, and related interwar national-populist movements — to White Nationalism today? The question would not even arise, of course, if there were no connection at all. Many White Nationalist ideas are either direct descendants of Old Right ideologies, or they are their cousins, meaning that they share common ancestors, that they are branches of the same ideological tree.  (more…)

¿Cuál es la relevancia de lo que llamo Vieja Derecha –Nacional Socialismo Alemán, Fascismo Italiano, y los movimientos nacional-populistas del período entreguerras- para el Nacionalismo Blanco hoy en día? La pregunta no se plantearía, por supuesto, si no hubiera conexión alguna. Muchas ideas Nacionalistas Blancas son descendientes directos o primos de las ideologías de la Vieja Derecha, esto quiere decir que comparten los mismos ancestros, y que son ramas del mismo árbol ideológico.  (more…)
