I consider myself a leftist, and have done so my entire life. I've read a lot of left-wing stuff but I want to see the argument of the other side - if not to change my mind, then to at least know my enemy.

Therefore I was wondering if anyone could inform me of some must-reads when it comes to right-wing, traditionalist, fascist type ideology. I hope this is the right place to ask - I rarely use this site and felt afraid to ask this question to my friends or on more mainstream sites due to the current political climate.

Read these four articles, good intro to right wing economics, which is often close to left wing economics. The most interesting right wingers were socialists, they just didn't think this had to involve utopian internationalism or be coterminous with a worker's movement, although an international brotherhood of nations would be a good thing, especially nations allied against international finance. Most of the hostility the right had for the left was due to suspicions that its internationalism was utopian and was coopted by financial powers, a useful way to weaken nations trying to resist their reach.

That, and the fact that the Bolsheviks freely used fifth column tactics and tried to swamp eastern European countries with communist infiltrators and agitators, many of whom were recently expelled Jews from Russia who openly advocated communism and didn't give a fuck about their host countries.

Of course, the international financial powers (mostly in London and then the US) used all these tensions to their advantage. If right wingers chimp out and kill a bunch of Jews, it makes them look like evil ogres with no ideas.

If you are interested in right wing economics, look heavily into Italian fascism and Falangist corporatism, as well as its Latin American offshoots. Also look into National Bolshevism, Strasserism, and Gottfried Feder, and Sorel and the Proudhon Circle. Many Marxists and anarchists became fascists (or syndicalists, which is just fascism) because they just saw it as a more realistic form of socialism, even an intermediate one on the way to long-term Marxism.

The key difference between left and right socialism is: do you want to gamble everything on Marxist "science," or do you want to leverage what we already know the capitalists hate against the capitalists, making grow what they are trying to make wither and die? The fascist is "against dogmas" because he is in favor of finding living forces, like nations, religions, brotherhoods, spiritual aristocrats, and other people willing to struggle even when it is NOT rational to keep struggling, and unite these against the cold rationality of international capitalism.

Many leftists would become at least provisional right socialists if they understood that every day more damage is being done to the possibility of resisting and destroying international finance. Every day it gets one step closer to total, irreversible victory. There is no time to sit around and talk about dialectics for another thousand years. There is no time to make the perfect worker's movement. You have to act now. Capitalism is not an abstract, it's real evil people and real evil institutions, and they can be resisted.

Check out Samuel Francis, Leviathan and its Enemies. He is an old-school mild nationalist paleoconservative and disciple of the Marxist James Burnham who wants to leverage organic forces against globalist technocracy (late capital).

I'm afraid it's already too late. Modern technology combined with their financial control has cemented their absolute and total power.

Anything else flows from this. Fascists come in all shapes and sizes, some of them are not focused on the economic resistance to usury/finance but on the pragmatic dimensions of defending and improving the nation, and can seem like simple nationalists and patriots. Some see the fight against world finance as a necessary battle to protect the life of the spirit, however they define that, and they see world finance as not just opportunistic or mindlessly invasive but as a deliberate attack on the human spirit. Hence the seeming kooks like Evola, who are usually not kooks at all, it's just that their values and ideas have been made invisible to people raised under capitalism.

Similarly, kooks like Evola often see the best defense against capital to be the cultivation of the spirit, the warrior spirit or the national spirit, whatever. Just as the possibility of spiritual cultivation is threatened by capital, so the best resistance against capital is the cultivation of the spirit.

>>16899705
The pessimist in me agrees with you but two things always cheer me up. One, the elites are playing their hand particularly clumsily in the last 20 years. I think they got more backlash than they were expecting to things like trannies and casual sex, and I think they were expecting immigrants to assimilate better and not cause simmering tensions.

Two, the elites are high on their own supply and often don't realize it. The tactics they used to mindfuck us are mindfucking their own children and their own apparatchiks. They are radicalizing their own structure to believe its own bullshit.

Plus if you're a leftist andbyou havent read Hannah Arendt. Do that, soon. Orwells Homage to Catalonia is really all I've read about Spanish Fascism. Evola isn't necessary but interesting and mystical lmao.

I wanna end this with two history books. Fascist lit is flowery and just like any ideology, its written to win you over, and all ideology works better in theory.

First, be clear. What do you even mean by “right wing”? There’s a certain notion of a true right wing which all but gasped it’s last breath in the 20th century and so you’re not going to find writers writing anything prescriptive in those circles. There exists a right with goes much further than fascism. Personally, I’ll recommend Plato, Dante, De Maistre, Cortes, and Maurras. None of those are explicable fascist but you’ll find a common theme.

>anarcho-syndicalist
Syndicalism is a method of achieving revolution in Anarchist thought. It doesn't seek to establish and Authoritarian state. I do understand what you mean though. Authority is an ideal which I'm afraid Americans would never willingly choose. I fail to imagine a situation in which we could unite enough people under such rigid and countervailing ideology.

Mussolini was an anarchist before incorporating nationalist views into his syndicalism and then formed his party with other syndicalists, nationalists, futurists, and idealists.
Like I said earlier fascism is not necessarily authoritarian and among the least authoritarian compared to the Soviet Union and Germany.

There are several 'questions' that dominate the far right today, I know this doesn't contain that much actual political theory, but I find that this is what they spend their time talking about. Also this is the Far Right here so it will be rather extreme, don't yell at me for explaining it.

>1. The Sovereignty Question
The problem of how sovereignty is distributed, and why monarchy(or the like) is the best system. Anyone from Plato to Hobbes to Carlyle makes basically the same argument, about accountability, incentives, ability and character, efficiency, etc. A key idea here is that there is always a small elite, and it's better to have it out in the open as a Monarch and nobility than in any other form.

>2. The Economic Question
Usury is seen as the biggest economic problem in modern history. Read Goodson(history of central banking) and Rothbard(case against the fed). Otherwise economically speaking they mostly all like capitalism, with varying degrees of regulation by the central authority(it is a feature of far right thought that the monarch figure has some discretion here, and their views on taxation and welfare basically track the question 'is it eugenic?').

>3. The Sex Question
There is unfortunately no book about this that I know of. It's some hodgepodge of speculative evopsych and noticing that all successful civilizations seem to be very patriarchal. For evopsych read Sociobiology(wilson) and Selfish Gene(dawkins). The Dysgenics question is a another issue here since it relates to sexual reproduction. They basically want Biblical 'Man leads family' situation.

>4. The Race Question
Read Rushton's IQ papers, especially the meta-analyses. This involves 4b) the JQ, which is a lot more complicated. Ford(International Jew), Solzhenitsyn(200 years together), Shahak(J History, J Religion), MacDonald(CoC trilogy). Some Far Right people disagree with the JQ. For a very mild redpill you can read the Putnam study on diversity.

>5. The Religion Question
They are confused on this point. They seem to be unsure of whether culture is downstream from power or the reverse or both. I will say that they are very fond of talking about Schelling Points, means of coordinating cooperation without direct communication between all participating agents, so you could read the book where Schelling came up with the Focal Point, which is called The Strategy of Conflict(it's game theory). But basically they want a healthy religion that helps promote productive rather than corruptive cooperation between people(and there is always a state religion).

so basically...Fascist, antisemitic, conspiratorial, sexist, racist, machiavellian theocracy lel. There is a good reason that the political position of the far right sounds like a string of the worst insults from Progressives.

anyway if you want clarification on some point in here I will explain or rec a book, I ran out of space to post anything more detailed, so I tried to make it concise.

It's not true of everyone as far as policy or even punditry is concerned though. Conservatives believe only in the specific social paradigm in which they were raised, whereas the progressive, though he may well have simply adopted his beliefs as well, attempts to maximize a given value in every situation. The conservative is inconsistent, in fact he does not even belief consistency exists, he only appeals to overarching value for rhetorical purposes.

This is too childish a pose for me to really take seriously. You think the entire two halves of whatever country you live in are divided this way along political lines, disregarding the massive psychological dissimilarities existing within the Con or Prog demographic?

I honestly don't think you're really that dumb a person. But maybe we should test it?

I am a 'conservative by your bearing', and I believe that there is more evidence for human populations having different average intelligences, than every one having the same. Do you want to present your evidence that they all have the same intelligence, and I will present mine that they don't?

This would fall under my value of 'liking the scientific method, thinking empiricism works, especially when tempered by the reason of multiple voices offering their opinions'.

I was talking about overarching political activity rather than specific belief, for which naming a specific belief would be a poor test of difference. But I can take your example. If your value is "following the scientific method," to which I've seen many conservatives appeal, then the issue is not with the specific data of iq and its biological correlations but with the conclusions of that data. I've seen many people bring up that "science shows that different populations have different scores." I've seen far fewer follow the science so far as to see that IQ is fluid, that it improves markedly between both generations and from test to test, that it improves significantly with generational wealth, that it is not a static limit of intellectual ability, that it can change with education, or that despite the correlative properties that are evidenced in biological cause, their is no evidence that IQ is "set" by genetics or that it is a holistic measure of social capacity. You would need to also accept these to fit your value of "accepting empiricism." But my guess, as with many who bring up IQ disparities, is that you take the base data, draw unsupported conclusions with IQ as a personal clinamen that does not conform to scientific use, and call a group of people unfit for certain social demands.

They do indeed value different things. My issue is not with the different values but with their consistency. The mainstream American conservative, in the early age of Trump, was an objectivist when it came to industry, a moral majoritarian when it came to social propriety, and a legalist on issues of crime and immigration. These are three distinct political philosophies chosen to fit one's culturally-specific whims, and when one notices that the demarcations for each standard stratify along lines of race and income level, then that becomes your unifying principle.

ERNST VON SALOMON.

He's a very comfy Novellist who wrote about Germany in the time frame of 1916 to 1950, mostly autobiographical stuff, because he participated in all right-wing paramilitaries, conspiracies and coups in the Weimar Republic before Nazis took power. His brother is a communist and his girlfriend is a jew, he isnt a radical nazi but rather a follower of the old prussian elitism with national revolutionary ideals sprinkled in. It is from that Perspective he writes his novels, talking about the Extremist intellectual circles he frequented, his time in prison, assassination-attempts and so on. His books (especially The Questionary, his master piece) really help greatly with understanding those turbulent times. I recommend it to anyone, if you're interested in (german) history from that time then it is definitely a good read and Salomons prose is the best his times have to offer, the quality and clarity of the way he writes german are only exceeded by Stefan Zweig, and perhaps Freud. (And I dare anyone to say obscurantist idiots like Mann, Kafka or Döblin with their clumsy, awkward way of writing, which they definitely did not do on purpose, are better).

It replicates over and over, it aligns with every observed outcome.

Now that doesn't imply any particular policy to be made about it. Do you think it might be better to just, idk, stop taking stats on Race and making it a political issue, because this is clearly very combustive? Which would also involve stopping the hatred against White people for their supposed oppression of Black people, that is supposed to explain the disparity in outcome?

Perhaps we could try to help everyone, without race hatred, based on what they need?

Conservatism is "right wing", what you call far right is the third position. Conservatives are girondins they are absolutely 100% on with the program of the jacobin they just disagree with their methods. Third position disagrees with the entire premise of the Assembly, it is at the same time a true revolutionary and true reactionary movement.

This still isn't "empirical" not him btw.
It states all things being equal which is an impossibility to test empirically. That's a minor discretion though. The real cake is that IQ is largely heritable from parent to child. This isn't disputed, it's as empirical as IQ studies(which have there own innate problems with empiricism.)can be. So what happens if the parents of the subject weren't at equal levels of opportunity or education. With blacks, they've been barred from education and opportunity for alot of their time in the states and prior to that were already ages behind races that had the huge benefit of The Fertile Crescent and easily domesticable animals.(which most of Africa did not) Also, have you seen the studies between reading children and non-reading? Huge increases in IQ. Maybe poorer blacks have less access to transportation to the library and affordable books. Dolly Parton is a saint, but she cant fill every poor house with books. There's no reason to assume like many so often do that blacks will always be inferior in IQ espescially when we've been seeing black IQ rise as conditions do and white IQs lower as conditions do. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't deny that race has alot to do with IQ. I just deny that race is extremely important in the matter, espescially when there exist so many outliers and considering that IQ is hardly that relevant to average daily life, it just seems like a pointless discretion. Hard work accounts more for knowledge and intelligence than IQ and a trait that outweighs them both in polite society is character. Now, thess are all things that could be used to explain that gap and you know, there are many more factors that have been observed to impact IQ. So, science it is. Empiricism it is not. These are the lengths you will have to go to to gain support for "race realism". The common and more correct view IMO is that races have seperate and unique characteristics, but the thing central to them all is humanity and consciousness. Also to say they can't exist in harmony is purely un empirical. The world's only global superpower for decades was simultaneously the most multicultural. Any attempt to blame proximity to other people as a cause for societal decline will result in failure of evidence(like most race based studies.)

Overall you could greatly strengthen the Fascist appeal if you remove racism and ethnocentrism as a central pillar. It's by far the weakest link.

No, you don't understand. I'm not making a point about the personal hypocrisy of a group. I'm saying that the professed political vision of the conservative is itself confused to such a degree that it has been difficult, in the last decade or so, for conservatives as a group to offer any kind of positive policy reforms. A wrong belief that is consistent is far more worthwhile in a democracy than several beliefs that are in disagreement with each other. The Progressive is consistent. He believes in a deep (almost religiously minded) egalitarianism, he believes in attempting to minimize differences in quality of life, he believes in the importance of social permissivism. He may be WRONG about those beliefs, or he may be pursuing those beliefs in a manner that does not bring about their outcome materially but he is CONSISTENT. He maximizes that value in every case. The same can be said for the liberal, the libertarian, and even some fascists. But the conservative's political beliefs are an olla podrida of convenience and personal taste, they are poor tools for constructing frameworks for dealing with new, unforeseen issues that are the purview of government administration.

You could read a bunch of boring, meme philosophers, but it's often overlooked how much political movements are influenced by other art forms. For example, the Romantic poets had a huge influence on the reactionary/traditionalist movements; and could you imagine what Fascism would be without the Futurists? All political movements are attempts to make one aesthetic dominant over another; so learning about political philosophy, without learning about the aesthetics and art forms that influenced those movements, is incomplete.

If you want to learn about right-wingers, read Dostoyevsky before you read Dugin, read Shelly before you read Spengler, and read the Futurist Manifesto before you read the Fascist Manifesto.
