Some of these were actually uploaded years ago, but I had not shared them with anyone until now. I'd recommend that you don't skip any of them even if they're not your specific ideology because they all have lots of interesting stuff.

>Tired of hearing from the so-called creative class? Frustrated with the complete failure of liberal elites to even comprehend what the problem is? Me too. This country, this world, is now utterly shaped by crisis and full of people living on margins—social, economic, and geographic—people who need not romantic elegies, hillbilly or otherwise, but studied attention by those able to understand history and its flows, who can report on the fine-grained life texture and large-scale patterns of populations both excluded from the economy and yet brutally integral to it. Globally, those who suffer most amount to a magnificent and terrible multitude. What is the logic of this crowd? Can they revolt against a social order that makes their lives expendable and cheap? Neel, in Hinterland, reports from far-flung places where people are forced to make do: a train full of migrant workers in southern China; Ferguson, Missouri; Jail Cell, USA. Neel writes in a visceral and stunning style of the slow apocalypse he everywhere finds, and he applies to these encounters a most unusual rigor. Hinterland is the geography lesson I’ve been looking for all year.

>What is right-wing socialism and anti-capitalism?
Minimally, it's someone who wants to destroy, dismantle, or at least manage the depredations of unrestrained capitalism by establishing what they call socialism. But it's very common for them to accept Marx's or Marxian critiques of capitalism, especially Marxists like Gramsci and the Frankfurt School, often combining them with aligned critiques of "technology" and technocratic rationalization, rationalization masquerading as bourgeois or enlightenment values, bourgeois mediocrity and unwillingness to engage in true political praxis, and so on.

How open they are to a class-based conception of the conflict between socialism and capitalism also varies. Some are hostile to it and define socialism very loosely, as volksgemeinschaft with traditional social institutions, but many fundamentally accept Marx's class-based critiques, they just don't think that his full-blown Hegelian dialectic of history with class at the absolute centre is correct or necessary. This often leads them to be cool with national or nationalized forms of communism, which is where the meme ideology Nazbol comes from. National Bolshevists were a real thing. The left wing of the Nazi party was purged partly because it actually wanted to make socialist reforms, farther to the left than party leaders wanted.

It's easier to understand if you view hatred of capitalism (whatever you think capitalism ultimately is, like technocratic rationalism or the dialectic of enlightenment) and hatred of the bourgeoisie (for being servants and useful idiots of capitalism) as intertwined but fuzzy positions that are occupied by both left and right wingers for different reasons. Most modern right wing intellectuals were not simple "conservatives" or "reactionaries" in defence of the bourgeoisie. There's a reason the most interesting fascists call themselves the "third position."

You could read these in order if you want an actual introduction to right wing socialism:
https://www.counter-currents.com/tag/breaking-the-bondage-of-interest/

https://www.counter-currents.com/2012/08/arthur-moeller-van-den-bruck-the-man-and-his-thought/
>However, socialism itself was not limited to Marxism and in fact, “international socialism does not exist . . . socialism begins where Marxism ends.”[26] Moeller called for the recognition of the fact that “every people has its own socialism” and that a conservative “national socialism” of German origin existed which should be the foundation of the Third Empire.

The Motorcycle Diaries are a very interesting take on Cold War era Latin America.
And, to be frank, a considerable amount of relatively modern (post mid-19th century) literature is implicitly leftist, everything from Baudelaire to Darío, García Márquez to Thomas Mann.

>>genetic competition
>What's this pseudo nonsense?
It’s the fundamental mechanism by which biological life acts and interacts with itself through evolution (in social animals, like humans). Care by an individual or group of a species for another member of a species (in socially organised animals like most primates and pack carnivores) is directly proportional to relatedness, this is kin altruism, this helps the survival of genes you share with these related individuals, thereby enhancing your evolutionary success. This extends the other way as well whereby less related (less genetically similar) individuals of a species compete more and cooperate less, evolution and particularly speciation tends to involve the success of a group at the expense of another group, this is particularly strong between ethnicities in humans because those genetic differences are readily apparent in tissue structures (eg facial features) and skin pigmentation. To deny this for the preservation of comforting but incorrect humanist ideas of unity that preceded the wide acceptance of evolution is very naive. Pure Marxism (I say pure because application of Marxist ideals to ethnically homogeneous societies is no bad thing because then within the society rich and poor becomes the strongest divide) ignores that a fundamental part of humanity’s drive is to succeed evolutionarily, ignoring biology in favour of sociology.
>>ethnic plural societies are unstable
>Good, from the instability we can organize and unite.
Except ethnically plural work forces struggle far more to unite. It was discovered that Amazon packing facilities were less likely to unionise if they are ethnically diverse. Additionally, once you have your ethnically diverse “United” society, it will be far more susceptible to division than a homogeneous one because genetically disparate groups will be affected by kin altruism, those groups will care for their own members by preference and the groups will compete with one another. Pluralistic societies are inherently unstable because of inherent aspects of our biological behaviour, not currently unstable because of social factors that humanist universalists (Incl. most Marxists and liberals) imagine to be “artificially constructed”. You can’t organise your way out of your own biology (much less the biology of large groups of people) unless you want to castrate yourself. Note that this doesn’t require ethnic supremacy (ie the assertion that your race should oppress the others because you’re just better) this is about recognising the presence of difference and therefore disunity. You could solve it by getting everyone to interbreed exactly until there aren’t distinct groups but then you’ve proven my point by creating an ethnically/genetically homogeneous state.

Right-wing idpol is based in reality and self-interest. Cisheteronormativity, traditional gender roles and ethnonationalism just make sense.

Even if you would live in a ethnonationalist nation with everyone being hetero, what have you really achieved? It's a dead end. It's an autistic desire, like trying to group all the same colors M&M's together and eating the broken ones. It achieves absolutely nothing and to achieve it violence will be required.
