This chapter discusses the life and work of Greg Johnson, the editor in chief of Counter-Currents, an esoteric and metapolitical publisher of “Books against Time” which was created in 2010. Johnson was originally active in the white nationalist political milieu. Since founding the Counter-Currents website and writing key texts like Confessions of a Reluctant Hater, he has become a prominent critic of liberal modernity in the United States, for which he proposes the racial panacea of a “White Republic.” Johnson’s political and cultural thinking also includes an engagement with, and rearticulation of, “low culture” though his numerous disquisitions on popular film and television under the pen name “Trevor Lynch.” The Counter-Currents website serves as a window into the broader reception of his ideas and a platform for his own reaction to, and critique of, the Alt Right, including Richard B. Spencer and the Trump presidency, and his thoughts on the future of white nationalism.
这一章讨论了格雷格·约翰逊的生活和工作,他是逆流出版社的主编,这是一个神秘的和元政治的出版商,于2010年创建了“反对时间的书”。约翰逊最初活跃于白人民族主义政治环境中。自从创立了“逆流”网站,并撰写了《一个不情愿的仇恨者的自白》等重要文本以来,他已成为美国自由主义现代性的著名批评者,为此他提出了“白人共和国”这一种族灵丹妙药。约翰逊的政治和文化思想也包括与“低级文化”的接触和重新表述,尽管他以“特雷弗·林奇”的笔名对流行电影和电视进行了大量的研究。“逆流”网站是一个了解他的思想得到更广泛接受的窗口,也是一个表达他对包括理查德·b·斯宾塞(Richard B. Spencer)和特朗普总统在内的另类右翼(Alt Right)以及他对白人民族主义未来的看法的回应和批评的平台。

This chapter discusses the life and work of Ernst Jünger, who was part of a strain in modern German conservatism that tested the limits of modernity and Enlightenment rationality. He catapulted to fame as a young man on the basis of his World War I memoirs, In Storms of Steel, which made him part of the antidemocratic forces of the Weimar Republic, but he retreated into the inner emigration during the Third Reich. After 1950 he lived a reclusive life but published a stream of essays and books and an impressive diary that chronicled almost four decades of life with sharp observations on a wide range of topics. He was a cultural pessimist who thought that the rise of a unifying planetary technology and the loss of local culture meant that we were entering into a posthistorical world of fragmentation, and new forms of cultural and political tyranny.
本章讨论恩斯特·约格尔的生活和工作,他是现代德国保守主义的一部分,考验了现代性和启蒙理性的极限。他年轻时因一战回忆录《钢铁风暴》(In Storms of Steel)而声名鹊起,该书使他成为魏玛共和国反民主势力的一员,但在第三帝国时期,他退缩到内部移民中。1950年后,他过着隐居的生活,但发表了一系列文章和书籍,以及一本令人印象深刻的日记,记录了他近四十年的生活,对广泛的主题进行了尖锐的观察。他是一个文化悲观主义者,他认为统一的行星技术的兴起和地方文化的丧失意味着我们正在进入一个碎片化的后历史世界,以及新形式的文化和政治暴政。

M. Lyons
This chapter discusses the life and work of Jack Donovan, one of the American Right’s most innovative and influential new thinkers. He was an adherent of the Alt Right for years, yet unlike most alt-rightists Donovan has always treated race as secondary to his focus on men. Donovan first became known for advocating “androphilia,” meaning love or sex between manly men, while rejecting gay culture and justifying homophobia as a defense of masculinity. However, his larger ideological contribution is the doctrine of male tribalism, which evokes the classical fascist ideal of male bonding through warfare. Rejecting the Christian Right’s emphasis on the patriarchal family, Donovan calls for reorganizing society based on “the gang,” a small, close-knit band of fighters in which men can most fully realize their innate masculinity.

Reinhard Mehring, Daniel Steuer
This chapter discusses the life and work of Carl Schmitt, a German legal scholar and professor of law who developed a constitutional theory that declared the liberal and parliamentary state under the rule of law to be outdated, a theory he used to justify rule by presidential decree in the Weimar Republic and then National Socialism. As a legal scholar, Schmitt avoided taking strong positions in terms of theological or philosophical claims, but his friend-enemy distinction provided a counterrevolutionary, apocalyptic, and anti-Semitic language and logic. Schmitt exerted a strong influence as a legal scholar and political commentator. He had a close friendship with Ernst Jünger; he argued for an “authoritarian” transformation of the Weimar Republic; and after 1933, he gave strong support to National Socialism and was influential in forming the Nazi understanding of the law and in the Nazi coordination [Gleichschaltung] of jurisprudence.

M. Laruelle
This chapter discusses the life and work of Alexander Dugin who, since the mid-1990s, has been the best marketed of all Russian ideologists, both in Russia and in the West. Well-read in mainstream philosophy and the humanities, Dugin is an impressive aggregator of radical Right ideologies. He brings together doctrines from diverse origins: völkisch occultism, Traditionalism, Conservative Revolution, European New Right, Eurasianism, and the like. He is the main intellectual figure in Russia to have selected European radical Right doctrinal traditions as his ideological marketing product, and his success at home has been limited. His efforts to influence Russia’s broader geopolitical narrative have prospered, but his work to introduce doctrinal content inspired by the European völkisch tradition has not. Nevertheless, thanks to his well-developed outreach strategies; his ability to speak various European languages, to translate and to be translated; and his networks in several European countries, Dugin has become Russia’s best-known New Right thinker.

J. Tait
This chapter discusses the life and work of Mencius Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin), an American programmer and blogger. His blog, Unqualified Reservations (2007–13) became the basis of the small but instructive “neoreactionary” movement. With its origins in programmer culture and radical libertarianism, Moldbug’s thought is antiprogressive, antiegalitarian, and antidemocratic. He advocates a monarchic government for an otherwise “open” society. Drawing on Austrian school economics, “elitist” theory, and the reactionary tradition, most prominently Thomas Carlyle, Moldbug argues that progressive elites produce a “universalist” culture to reinforce their power. According to Moldbug, the universalist-democratic regime is inefficient, divorced from reality, and doomed to collapse into chaos. Moldbug and neoreaction were harbingers and archetypes of web-based antiegalitarian movements that mobilized irony and epistemological critiques against the Left. They indicate a growing antidemocratic animus on the American Right, especially among radical libertarians, and the importance of digital activism for right-wing activism in the twenty-first century.

Jean-Yves Camus
This chapter discusses the life and work of Alain de Benoist, a prolific French political thinker and the leading figure of the school of thought known as the New Right, launched in 1968. De Benoist and his New Right are proponents of the right to difference (often understood as ethnopluralism or ethnodifferentialism) and a pagan European identity with roots in the Indo-European peoples who migrated in the fifth millennium BC. His main focus today is the criticism of globalization and the hegemony of capital, but there is a debate on the continuity with, or breakaway from, his former association with the radical Right.

This chapter discusses the life and work of Richard B. Spencer, the president of the National Policy Institute, a US white-nationalist think tank. A few weeks after the 2016 presidential election, at a National Policy Institute conference, Spencer famously called “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” and some of his supporters gave the Nazi salute. Spencer is self-described as an identitarian, and is the inventor of the term “Alt Right,” which he coined to differentiate his views from mainstream American conservatism. Spencer is the leading communicator of the Alt Right message rather than its leading intellectual. He has found his niche as Alt Right provocateur and media spokesman. The mass media line up to interview him, and university students are listening to his message.
本章讨论美国白人民族主义智库国家政策研究所(National Policy Institute)所长理查德·斯宾塞(Richard B. Spencer)的生平和工作。2016年总统大选结束几周后,在国家政策研究所(National Policy Institute)的一次会议上,斯宾塞发出了一句著名的口号:“特朗普万岁,我们的人民万岁,胜利万岁!”他的一些支持者向他行纳粹礼。斯宾塞自称是一名同一性主义者,也是“另类右翼”一词的发明者,他创造了这个词,以将自己的观点与美国主流保守主义区分开来。斯宾塞是右翼信息的主要传播者,而不是其主要知识分子。他已经找到了自己的定位,成为右翼煽动者和媒体发言人。大众媒体排着队采访他,大学生们也在聆听他的讲话。

This chapter discusses the life and work of Bat Ye’or (Gisèle Littman), who is widely seen as the doyenne of “Eurabia”-literature. This comes in different varieties and formulations, but in Bat Ye’or’s rendering refers to an ongoing secretive conspiracy which involves both the European Union and Muslim-majority countries in North Africa and the Middle East, aimed at establishing Muslim control over a future Europe or “Eurabia.” Though Bat Ye’or did not coin the term “Eurabia,” she can be credited with having popularized the concept through quasi-academic titles such as Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis and Europe, Globalization and the Coming Universal Caliphate. Through its dissemination on various “counter-jihadist” websites and in the work of the Norwegian counter-jihadist blogger Fjordman, her work inspired the Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. She also has long-standing relations with Serbian ultranationalists, the Israeli Far Right, and various radical Right activists in Western Europe and the US.
这一章讨论了被广泛认为是“欧拉比亚”文学元老的巴特耶尔(吉斯丽·利特曼饰)的生活和工作。这有不同的形式和形式,但在Bat Ye 'or的描述中,指的是一个正在进行的秘密阴谋,涉及欧盟和北非和中东的穆斯林占多数的国家,旨在建立穆斯林对未来欧洲或“欧拉比亚”的控制。虽然Bat Ye 'or没有创造“欧拉比亚”这个词,但她可以通过诸如欧拉比亚:欧洲-阿拉伯轴心和欧洲,全球化和即将到来的世界哈里发等准学术标题来普及这一概念。通过在各种“反圣战”网站上的传播,以及挪威反圣战博客作者Fjordman的作品,她的作品启发了挪威恐怖分子安德斯·贝林·布雷维克。她还与塞尔维亚极端民族主义者、以色列极右翼以及西欧和美国的各种激进右翼活动家保持着长期的关系。

This chapter discusses the life and work of Jared Taylor, the leading American advocate of “race realism” and the claim that white people have legitimate and important racial interests that need to be both better articulated and publicly affirmed. Through his American Renaissance magazine, annual conferences, and videos, Taylor has set the intellectual standard for highbrow white racial advocacy and what is variously called “White nationalism,” “White identitarianism,” or simply the perspective of the “alternative” or “dissident” Right. Taylor’s thinking combines conventional conservative ideas regarding family and community, classical liberal and libertarian ideas regarding freedom of association and basic property and economic rights, and ideas championing ethnoracial homogeneity within nations and disdain for multiculturalism. His arguments are drawn from both historical experience and contemporary sociobiology.
