De Benoist actually mentioned in an interview about how in the 70's the French Communist party promoted strict immigration policies in order to protect the working class, hence why he used to support them. Since then most far left parties have found their revolutionary subjects in third world immigrants and neurotic privileged college girls. Due to this allot of the old left people in Europe have jumped ship to "right wing" parties ( which are actually third position parties, facism and it's derivatives were never right wing), as they are the ones who care most about the working class people now.

It's better to listen to biologists on the subject of race rather than social science ideologues .

Also skin colour is one of the least important factors involved in race.

I do, however, agree with you that part of ending mass immigration is is putting limits on international finance capitalism and making the immigrants countries better places to live.

Nouvelle Droite / GRECE. Plutarch Press is also one to look out for, recently translating many 20th century right-wing intellectuals' work into English, when it was hard to find before, or only select scholarly translations existed. There are a couple similar things.

The Dark Enlightenment shit is mostly dumb as fuck, but it's to be expected. For every increase in high level scholarly or intellectual interest in something that you see, you're going to see an exponentially larger increase in For Dummies versions of it, and a geometrically larger increase in poorly edited Youtube videos using sound bites of it.

most of the voter base of both parties are uneducated morons, but i'd say the republicans are worse. This is because the way voting districts have been arranged in republican states and many democratic ones for that matter. This was cause during the 2010 census republicans swept the house and senate, which allowed them to gerrymander districts in such a way that white older voters are represented. And these white older voters, being old and having been raised in the jim crow era basically, are of the racist, teaparty type, anti-tax type. But ironically, this gerrymandering set off a process in which the republican party has been pushed further and further to the right by its far right wing base, to the point that the leading republican in the senate, eric cantor, who was actually the protector of the radical teaparty republicans in the senate, was actually voted out of power in the last election for a guy even further to the right....

Mass culture requires identities that are fixed by the market and the state. Race, religion, sex, etc are all ontologically prior to it and thus politics the affirmation of those things cannot be subsumed. Few right wingers are nationalists in the statist sense, most are more for small hierarchical ethno-communities based on real bonds between people, with a strong, but limited overarching power that is authoritarian but not totalitarian.

I agree with their racism, but it's not out of some notion of racial pride - race is not an accomplishment, so I don't see how people have pride in it. For me, the reason that immigration from these countries into Western countries should be heavily restricted is that Arabs and especially blacks are a security hazard due to their low average intelligence.

Feudal warfare could have been to a much greater degree than it was though. They had lots of civilians to draft if they wanted to, but the social arrangement was civilians work to sustain everyone and therefore nobles fight to protect everyone. It wasn't uncommon for battles to be just a few hundred on each side due to this. Of course in dire circumstances like a mass foreign invasion they would have to grab more combatants from the peasantry. But ideally the social order was conducive to small scale combat between nobles. There was also no nationalism/egalitarianism that demanded equal duties for equal rights, as the later did not exist. Due to this there was no patriotic duty to fight for one's country, there was just what ever arrangement your family had with a local lord by custom,and custom was rarely challenged.

This is the same reason why most peasants in the middle ages worked 200 days out of the year and usually less than 8 hours a day, ultra conservative societies have fixed standards that can't be shaken by someone who happens to have made allot of money- those days were religious holidays that could'nt be messed with no matter what. It was a totally antithetical system to bourgois enlightenment values where everything becomes a free business transaction between "equal" individuals ( see Social Contract theories).

You're so full of shit. When kings were the rulers and warred over property, warfare was absolutely chronic and you'd better believe they waged the biggest wars they could and retained the largest armed populations they could manage. Laws in England, for example, required every man to own a sword. It goes more or less without saying that the torch was a more popular weapon than that, and the burning of farmland was always a popular tactic offensively and defensively.

Quoth Huizinga (The Waning of the Middle Ages):
>Is it surprising that the people could see their fate and that of the world only as an endless succession of evils? Bad government, exactions, the cupidity and violence of the great, wars and brigandage, scarcity, misery and pestilence -- to this is contemporary history nearly reduced in the eyes of the people. The feeling of general insecurity which was caused by the chronic form wars were apt to take, by the constant menace of the dangerous classes, by the mistrust of justice, was further aggravated by the obsession of the coming end of the world, and by the fear of hell, of sorcerors and of devils. Everywhere the flames of hatred arise and injustice reigns. Satan covers a gloomy earth with his somber wings.

Not really. The civvies stayed at home because they had to farm. Most campaigns petered out in the summer because people had to go home to farm. The fact that most people farmed instead of fighting wasn't some gentlemanly agreement, it was necessity and the fear of starvation.

Americans have no obligation to throw open their borders to unskilled immigrants simply because our ancestors were immigrants many years ago.

Not talking about the practicalities, I'm talking about the logic of the argument. I'd say the belief that people belong in their ancestral homelands is a fairly central one for the far right- it certainly comes up all the time in immigration discussions.

How? Americans ARE in their homeland. The majority of North American natives were hunter-gatherers. The overwhelmingly vast majority of the country was uninhabited and still is. The incredibly tiny amount of North American natives had already been dragged down to only some 2 million thanks to disease (Unrelated to the diseases Europeans would later bring).

Were there natives? Yes. Did they have native lands that were taken by Europeans? Yes, and many of their lands were given back (Or they were given new land that is now their homeland). The natives still have their own nations mind you, they're just subject to the federal government. The Apache, the Ottawa, the Objiwe, and so on all have their own land. Americans are heavily discriminated there (For good or ill). But they did not inhabit the majority of the country which had never been set foot upon by humans until the people who would go on to become Americans came along and claimed it. We are thus by definition the natives.

The place I'm currently sitting in and typing this post out in had no natives living on it. How then are my people not the natives given that we are the first ones to be at it? My ancestors have been on this continent since the late 1600's. That's longer than several tribes have been in their current location. Why then is this not my native land? Because I'm White and the Indians are Brown/Red?

This isn't getting into South America and Canada which are different stories, I'm only talking about the United States.

Where did I strawman? You're insulting many republicans by saying that they DONT believe in these government conspiracy theories.

And note, I said the Constitution is bad "in a way". But let me elaborate: the constitution is a symbol, and over the last decade it has become more of a right wing symbol than a left wing one. This is because far right republicans, such as the members of the tea party who now dominate the house of representatives, advocate the constitution as a kind of religious document that is perfect because the founding fathers were infallible and so on. That is to say, it is a fundamentalists movement that believes in the literal interpretation of constitution, which in practice would mean unlimited gun rights, no income taxes and basically no central government, which depending on your perspective this strict interpretation is a good or bad thing.

So of course the constitution isn't 'bad', and I never argued this view, though I would argue for some amendments with a leftist bent :^). However, the idea of the constitution doesn't exist in a vacuum, and what the constitution has come to represent today, as espoused by the constitutional fundamentalists, is not MY constitution.

I think its unfair that you call my post a buzzfeed comment, I dont even know what that is. And how could you say my level of discourse is poor if you don't even read the news and know about US politics?

I'm not a tree hugger or anything but thats not true. The five civilized tribes owned huge swathes of Mississipi and Alabama as farmers until Jackson kicked them in the 1830s out and gave them shitty lands out west.

Not a right winger at all, but I think you underestimate modern opinions about race. Although lots of people identify as 'multicultural', in practice most races stick to their own, at least so long as they're in the same class. Ignoring the loud minority of SJW lots of people hold fairly 'racist' opinions towards different ethnic groups and there's a lot of animosity under the surface. Besides, among many minorities there's a push of cultural assimilation into the dominate white culture as well as a reasonable backlash against that.

In hindsight, I'd argue that some of the right wing conceptions of race (that of Mussolini for example) of a kind of shared organic social existence within a country seem almost progressive.

Personally I think our generation is going to see left wing fascism come back in vogue
