Benedetto Croce: Anti-Egalitarian, an essay by Dmitry Moiseev, published by Arktos.

Dmitry Moiseev discusses Benedetto Croce, whose radical rejection of egalitarianism marks a major deviation from mainstream political thought influenced by the French Enlightenment.

Neo-Hegelian philosopher Benedetto Croce (1866-1952) is often regarded as the most influential Italian liberal of the twentieth century, and with good reason. Author of ‘The Manifesto of the Anti-Fascist Intellectuals’, a ‘moral’ opponent of Giovanni Gentile and fascism, senator from the Italian Liberal Party, member of the post-war Constituent Assembly that finally abolished the Savoy Monarchy and an influential theorist of Hegelian liberalism — this short list of Croce’s accomplishments speaks for itself.

At the same time, Croce’s liberalism is multidimensional and differs significantly from the vulgarly understood ‘principles of 1789’ — and in our time, perhaps even more vulgarly understood than during the intellectual activity of the Italian philosopher. What is particularly interesting is that...

ATTENTION! This upcoming Sunday at 2 pm EST, Arktos is set to release the fourth podcast in collaboration with Gifts (X handle: @GiftsUngiven_).

In this episode, Gifts explores how influential figures like Destiny and Hunter Avallone, known for advocating 'open relationships' online, reflect broader societal challenges amid recent news of divorce and violence in their own lives. Traditional marriage and monogamy are considered outdated, with people opting out due to a perceived lack of freedom, prompting questions about the purpose of traditional relationships and the true meaning of love. Are we genuinely better off without traditional marriage?

The podcast will be available on YouTube, Rumble, Substack, and the Arktos website on December 17 at 2 pm EST.

The Legacy of H. P. Lovecraft from an Identitarian Perspective: Part One
, an essay by Andrej Sekulović, published by Arktos.

Andrej Sekulović discusses the complex legacy of H. P. Lovecraft, exploring how the renowned horror and science-fiction author’s personal political views, particularly on race and multiculturalism, have become a subject of controversy in our liberal times.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft is considered to be one of the biggest names in horror literature. His influence in the horror and science-fiction genres, both in literature and the movie industry, remains of great importance. However, as Dr. Kerry Bolton has pointed out in his essay “Lovecraft’s Politics,” for many of his admirers, the scariest things that Lovecraft wrote were not about the ancient creatures out of space but his political views. The modern reader may be left speechless after reading Lovecraft’s letters and opinions, where he discusses the inequality of races, the rising decadence of the liberal democratic system, and even the much dreaded “Jewish question,” just as his characters are left on the brink of madness after discovering the existence of the ancient alien beings inhabiting our planet, or...

The Day of the Extinguisher, an essay by Warsaw Sentinel, published by Arktos.

During this year’s Hanukkah celebrations in the Polish Sejm, the image of a known Jewish supremacist rabbi was put on display, eliciting an intervention from the country’s most famous monarchist MP.

Polish MP thwarts Hanukkah celebration in Parliament

For nearly two decades, the Polish Sejm has been host to Hanukkah celebrations. The country has a small Jewish minority, with roughly two thousand individuals declaring adherence to the Jewish faith. This year, the celebration featured a portrait of former Chabad Lubavitch leader Menachem Mendel Schneerson, an infamous rabbi known for...

"The rainbow flag is the true symbol of what we now call 'Western values': identity politics for tiny sexually defined minorities at the expense of the majority, hatred of one's own tradition and culture, rejection of the family. In one word: decadence."

Carl Schmitt is among the authors and theoreticians of the German Right whose attitude towards National Socialism was, at the very least, subtle. In his now classic work entitled Die konservative Revolution in Deutschland, 1918–32 (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 1974), which he dedicated to the various German nationalistic currents of the interwar period, Doctor Armin Mohler mentions Schmitt as one of the leading figures of the ‘conservative revolution’, alongside five other ‘outsiders’: Ernst Jünger and his brother Friedrich Georg, Hans Blüher, Oswald Spengler and Thomas Mann.

The Left and Those They Love, an essay by Christopher Jolliffe, published by Arktos.

Christopher Jolliffe examines the left’s contradictory coalition of different groups, unified more by shared opposition to notions like ‘white supremacy’ than by coherent principles or goals.

A point of consternation for many on the right is accounting for the strange menagerie of groups stitched together beneath the progressive banner. What exactly do the radical feminist types have in common with, say, immigrant enclaves in Western Sydney, whose family structures involve all kinds of problematic elements? What binds the fat activist to the fierce proponent of the environment, when one spends much of her time eating the obsessions of the other? The excessively bourgeois Extinction Rebellion types to the lumpen-proletarian Black Lives Matter? Ever heard of ‘Queers for Palestine’? The obvious answer is...

“All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’
“Whether one is weak and skinny or in a ghastly state of obesity, the fact remains that if one is a horrendous physical mess, something must be done. Thor demands it. The modern world offers apologies and excuses for failure. This is not the way of the spiritual Odinist.”

“Come, weave us a scheme so I can pay them back! Stand beside me, Athena, fire me with daring, fierce as the day we ripped Troy’s glittering crown of towers down. Stand by me — furious now as then, my bright-eyed one — and I would fight three hundred men, great goddess, with you to brace me, comrade-in-arms in battle!”

Against the Europe of Nations, by Jean Thiriart, published by Arktos.

Jean Thiriart challenges conventional ideas of nationalism, advocating a united and dynamic Europe, transcending past divisions and forging a collective destiny beyond the constraints of traditional national identities.

The following is excerpted from Jean Thiriart’s Europe: An Empire of 400 Million (Arktos, 2021).

We do not wish a Europe of nations dear to the ‘balkanisers’ of the extreme right, a sort of Harlequin cloak over cowardly clothes.

This Europe of nations is nothing but the momentary and precarious sum of rancours and weaknesses. We all know that the sum of weaknesses equals zero or virtually zero. The petty narrow nationalisms cancel one another, as algebraic values of opposite signs cancel each other. The petty ‘suppressed’ nationalisms derive in general a semblance of vigour only from the hatred of a neighbour or the memory of it. This is nonsense; it is a formal contradiction to hope to derive a positive force from...

The Vision and Legacy of Daria Dugina, an essay by Constantin von Hoffmeister, published by Arktos.

Constantin von Hoffmeister reflects on Daria Dugina’s role as an influential voice in Eurasianism and her ideational impact marked by a tragic end.

In commemorating Daria Dugina, who would have turned thirty-one today, we remember her as a figure deeply embedded within the political and philosophical landscape of contemporary Russia.

Dugina’s professional journey saw her evolve into a spokesperson for Eurasianism. She often spoke of Europe as a “Rimland,” caught between the American and Eurasian spheres of influence, and advocated a Russian-led empire to counter Western dominance. This vision of an empire was seen by Dugina as a voluntary alliance defending the sovereignty of its members, emphasizing the shared Eastern Slavic roots of Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians, while acknowledging the growing resistance to this idea, particularly in Ukraine.

Her writings frequently touched on the decline of liberalism, celebrating what she took as...

Today would have been Daria Platonova Dugina’s 31st birthday.

Unfortunately, today also marks 1 year, 3 months, and 25 days since Daria’s life was tragically cut short by an act of state-sponsored terrorism.

Fortunately, Daria's life philosophy is open to be discovered through her book Eschatological Optimism, brought to you in English by PRAV Publishing.

Celebrate life, understand death, and learn from thinkers who have come and given all before you by exploring Daria Platonova Dugina’s Eschatological Optimism, available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook editions from PRAV.

"In this book, we become witnesses to how painfully the battle against the swamps of the illusory freedom of the Great Mother Cybele is ongoing in contemporary philosophy, in the minds of modern people, youth, and in the soul of a young girl. We become witnesses to how philosophical attunement is first born, how spiritual turmoil and disappointments come to a head, and how painfully philosophical bearings of support are acquired. We notice how the light wings of a debuting philosopher grow, how thought cuts through chaos with concepts, how thought suffocates and comes to life again in extreme ascent, inevitably colliding with Deleuze’s 'line where reason and madness, life and death play with one another.'"
- From the Afterword, "Daria Dugina: Philosophy as Destiny" by Dr. Natalia Melentyeva (Daria's mother)
