There’s a cloud[1] over nationalism. As soon as you say that nations should put their own citizens and interests first, people immediately raise the specter of wars and genocides. Since the Second World War, National Socialism and the Holocaust are always evoked. But before the Second World War, anti-nationalists evoked the horrors of the First World War. Before that, it was the Napoleonic Wars, and before that catastrophes like the Seven Years’ War, the War of the Austrian Succession, the War of the Spanish Succession, the English Civil Wars, and the Thirty Years’ War.

This is a response to Asier Abadroa’s “Is Ethnonationalism Compatible with Genetic Interests in Practice?” His answer is, on balance, no. He argues that ethnonationalism is often connected with romantic ideas about faraway oppressed peoples that are not based on fact, that peoplehood is hard to define, that ethnonationalism is often connected to bad ideas such as chauvinism and Marxism, (more…)

George Grant’s Lament for a Nation was most obviously wrong in its immediate predictions about Canada. He thought that Anglo-Canada would seek direct annexation by the dynamic American Republic. Many of his errors stem from a conflation of economics with cultural and political destiny.

Even now that Canada is almost entirely economically absorbed into the United States, annexation remains a fringe position. Most Canadians opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the 1990s; the draw of consumption could not overcome national attachment, even one as meaningless as ours. (more…)

Carl Schmitt can illuminate American politics and jurisprudence by offering an outside perspective from continental Europe. First, his idea of the state of exception can help describe how the United States Constitution was rewritten in the Civil Rights era. And secondly, his description of the sovereign and of political theology explain in part why American conservatism has been a spectacular failure. (more…)

Part 1 of 3 (Introduction Part II here)

Translated by F. Roger Devlin

When liberalism is said to be the dominant ideology of our time, there are always those who protest by citing, for example, the amount of public expenditures or the level of taxation in our country. But this is looking at the problem through the wrong end of the telescope. A liberal society is not exactly the same thing as a liberal economy. (more…)

The following is the text of Gregory Hood’s opening statement in the “Ethnonationalism vs. Imperialism” debate with Greg Johnson that was held at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. Dr. Johnson’s opening statement, which preceded this one, can be read here.

It’s not a question of whether you want to live in an imperium or not. You’re going to live under an imperial rule of some kind. The only question is whose it’s going to be. (more…)

Interview with Grégor Puppinck, Director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ)

In November of this year, Poles will vote to elect a new Sejm (parliament), and therefore a new government. Under pressure at the national level from the Euro-enthusiastic liberals on its left and the patriots and nationalists of Konfederacja on its right, the center-Right coalition led by the Law and Justice Party (PiS) is not certain to win the upcoming elections after two consecutive terms.

Grégor Puppinck is the Director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ). (more…)

I wish to respond to Asier Abadroa’s critique of my essay “Against Imperialism,” which he has entitled “White Nationalism vs. Racially Conscious White Ethnonationalisms” (Part 1, Part 2).

Imperialism

Abadroa thinks it is a bad idea for advocates of a single white state, (more…)

Domination by a Herrenvolk

What is described in the previous section has fundamental effects, because it is meaningless to assume that the future white nation is going to be dominated by any particular ethnic group. (more…)

One of the fundamental divisions in the White Nationalist movement is between ethnonationalists and imperialists. Ethnonationalists want a world in which every distinct people has the right to a sovereign homeland. Imperialists want a single white racial state. Wilmot Robertson makes the case for ethnonationalism in his book The Ethnostate, whereas Francis Parker Yockey presents the case for imperialism in Imperium. Other advocates of imperialism include Sir Oswald Mosley, Jean Thiriart, and Guillaume Faye.

The division between imperialists and ethnonationalists is often overlooked. (more…)
