You can be a great right-wing writer but you cannot be a fascist.

All the great right-wing writers, poets, and critics were monarchists at heart. They supported hereditary aristocracy and an established religion. These are the preconditions for being right-wing but also being creative.

>b-but Pound

Pound was fundamentally a monarchist. he was not truly committed to fascism as an ideal.

Writing is feminine. Fascism is masculine. Fascists would never write stuff. They would conquer and subject people. They would live in the real world and not escape into books like Jews.

Yeah, well, "conservatism" has conserved nothing, and its adaptation is nothing more than a nice veneer over the fact that conservatives have no lasting fixed principles whatsoever.

Hell, that gets back to the main point of this thread, doesn't it? What do you need to be a great artist? Creativity, obviously, but what else? You need principles. You need standards. You need things you truly believe in, things you hold fast to, things that form a bedrock sense of your view of the world. Reactionaries have these things, "conservatives" do not, and that's why every right-wing artist is reactionary. Have you ever read a conservative's attempt at writing a book? It's never pretty.

>fascist
Fascism is a slur. It can mean way too much different things, so that in effect it means nothing.

>monarchists
That's also vague as fuck. Read:
Morgan E.S. - Inventing the People. The Rise of Popular Sovereignty in England and America (1989)

How "king's 2 bodies" monarchists fought with "popular sovereignty" monarchists, and kings were to be executed for the sake of their kingly well-being.

>an established religion
Read:
Smith W.C. - The Meaning and End of Religion (1964)

Religion is a concept used only by people suspicious of the whole religious enterprise. People who actually "had" a religion, never thought of themselves as having it. They were just performing some practices, that coincidentally were considered necessary and "true". Speaking against religion would have sounded like a blasphemous act of covid-denying.

>Fascists would never write stuff.
Henri de Man

Not to mention their genealogical relationship with syndicalism (Georges Sorel) and the Conservative Revolution.

Some great right-wing authors who don't really fit into OP's scheme:

D. H. Lawrence
Robinson Jeffers
Zbigniew Herbert

OP moves the goalposts when he slides from *great* artists to merely *creative* ones. Great != creative. If we're allowing lighter authors (undoubtedly creative, but perhaps not, depending on your definition, 'great') then

Wyndham Lewis
Robert Heinlein
Robert E. Howard

are three more obvious examples. Lewis was a painter more than anything but he still wrote a lot, especially criticism. Heinlein is, I would say, equal parts libertarian and fascist. (Time Enough For Love = the former; Starship Troopers = the latter.) REH much the same. (Yes, Bran Mak Morn is 'King of the Picts', but he's a strong man leader. REH never endorses the idea that X should be king just because he's Y's son. If you can't tame the proud beauty, laugh in the face of certain death and break your bonds with one mighty effort, it doesn't matter whose son you are. Führerprinzip incarnate.)

You’re misunderstanding Weininger. Aryanism is just the attempted attachment of masculinity to worth, self-worth, Jewishness is just the attempted attachment of femininity to ‘worth’ (want of worth). The Jews trick is to stand beside God, to say that nothing is real. The Aryan believes in the real, but only temporary, only for himself, in this he becomes the enemy of Christ. Worth, value, quality, are all interchangeable, the conquering of time through song, and the Jew lacks confidence to even sing for himself. Character, appearance, soul, talent, are all just the attempted attachment of worth, and as much strength as worth can muster corresponds to obliterating vanity, which is just the Achilles heal of the artist. Art is ‘universal’ only when it hides how much the artist is straining to overcome his retardation, trying to bubble his way past his own crooked timber thoughts and attach real value to existence. Men just have the self worth to be themselves, but the point isn’t the worth, but the being, it’s all a by product of something originally worthy that has to be found internally. Women are not themselves, they live in deceit, they live cut off from whatever quality femininity might have derived from, but only because they don’t believe in themselves, like the Jew who won’t sing. Everyone that hates song is evil. If you can’t stand someone singing you are a monster and Christ is going to hunt you and gore you open like a boar.

Why did you post someone who was very obviously not a monarchist if you've ever read anything he wrote whatsoever? Tolkien's idea of a good king is one who exercises no authority whatsoever except raising the armies to defend the realm if need be.

the origin of the term refers to those that opposed the revolution against france and i maintain that anyone that supports the ideals of the revolution against france is not right wing.
