    The Localist Trap

    Stephen Quinlan, Casper, Wyoming, ca. 1960.

    1,356 words

    “Localism” is a favored tendency among paleoconservatives of the Rod Dreher variety. They dream of a politics rooted in small towns that just focus on their immediate surroundings. No national or international concerns intrude into the idyllic rural town. (more…)

    The Vanishing Tradition:
    Perspectives on American Conservatism

    5,456 words

    Paul Gottfried, editor
    The Vanishing Tradition: Perspectives on American Conservatism
    DeKalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 2020

    The Vanishing Tradition is an anthology edited by Paul Gottfried, and owing to its structure, a proper review is not really possible. Rather, I will individually summarize and comment on each contribution to the anthology. (more…)

    Towards a Right-Wing Critical Theory

    2,503 words

    Amid the social turmoil of the late 1960s, the German Communist student Rudi Dutschke called for a “long march through the institutions” as the preferred strategy of ensuring the victory of global Marxist revolution. The success of this initiative is no more prominent in the West than in today’s academia, where Frankfurt School (more…)

    Professor Gottfried Gets It Wrong

    Paul Gottfried

    592 words

    Paul Gottfried is an esteemed scholar who has done yeoman’s work for the cause of the Dissident Right. He deserves our respect, and his words must be taken very seriously. As such, it is with great sadness and a certain degree of trepidation that I find myself in disagreement with Professor Gottfried concerning his article “Resurrecting the Old Right” in the September issue of Chronicles magazine.

    Remembering Willis Carto:
    July 17, 1926–October 26, 2015

    carto19601,980 words

    If you know the broad outlines of Willis Allison Carto’s life (biography review here), you know that he was, for well over a half-century, the founder and patron of those political movements we now variously call paleoconservatism, race realism, Dissident Right, or White Nationalism.

    Pause and consider. When you imbibe the heady sophistication and philosophical analyses here at Counter-Currents— (more…)

    Author’s Note:

    Nationalism, True & False

    William Kristol, guardian of neo-conservatism.

    2,353 words

    Ruling classes exercise power through combinations of coercion and manipulation — what Machiavelli called force and fraud, or the habits of the lion and the fox that he recommended to princes who wish to stay in power. Like most princes, most ruling classes tend to be better at one than the other, and depending on their talents, interests, and psychologies, they will habitually rely on one style of domination more than on its complement.

    Principalities & Powers, Part Five:
    The Buchanan Revolution

    Patrick Buchanan in 1992

    2,003 words

    Nothing churns the entrails of the professional democracy priesthood more than the rancid taste of a little real democracy. Since one of the main dishes on the 1992 political menu has been a generous serving of authentic popular rebellion, the sages have spent a good part of the last year lurching for their lavatories.

    Robert Whitaker Remembered

    1,070 words

    On Saturday, June 3, Robert Whitaker passed away in his sleep at the age of 76. His life should be commemorated by White Nationalists and the Alt Right given that he was one of the first to articulate white grievances against enforced multiculturalism in a way equal and opposite to how non-whites have always complained about whites. A palecon’s paleocon, Whitaker could be placed alongside Wilmot Robertson as an underground torch-bearer of white interests during the 1970s and 1980s. (more…)

    Where Conservatism Went Wrong:
    A Review of The Great Purge: The Deformation of the Conservative Movement

    Paul E. Gottfried & Richard B. Spencer (eds.)
    The Great Purge: The Deformation of the Conservative Movement
    Arlington, Va.: Washington Summit Publishers, 2015

    All political movements need a history, and such histories, if well-constructed, almost always coalesce into myth. Once mythologized, a movement’s past can inform its present members about its reason for being, its need for continuing, and its plans for the future. (more…)

    Willis Allison Carto died Monday night in Virginia, full of years (89), achievements, and honors. But this memorial tribute is nevertheless way overdue.
