With our privileged FCC broadcasters, legacy newspaper barons and other anointed members of “mainstream� culture spitting mad about their failure to defeat Donald Trump on Nov. 5, they are now coalescing around a new message. Without the slightest hint of irony or shame, our elite media and their pals in Hollywood and subsidized schools are... Read More

Tucker Carlson finally did a long-form interview with Glenn Greenwald. It’s good and worth watching, but in the interview, he falsely claims that the US is a “fascist country.� This is a stupid lie he’s told several times. The US is what it says it is: it is a democracy. That’s what this system is... Read More

Before the 2022 midterms, President Joe Biden gave a menacing speech with cartoonish black-and-red colors, accusing “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans� of extremism that threatens the “very foundations of our Republic.� Some conservatives thought the aesthetics were close to fascism, complete with dire warnings about an internal enemy. The tactic worked. Abortion overwhelmed economic worries... Read More

A few years before he died in 1994, Léon Degrelle wrote Tintin mon copain (Tintin, my buddy) an extraordinary autobiography. Actually, it is a double, or rather threefold biography, namely of himself and of the comic strip hero Tintin and his creator Hergé. In a sense therefore, it can be regarded as a modern version...

Some loser tried to kill Donald Trump. Republicans are in a frenzy of recrimination and finger-pointing while some liberals now say they will vote for the former president. They are being just as irrational as anyone who thought we needed a “racial reckoning� because of George Floyd. The death of one small-time black criminal should... Read More

The first round of the 2024 legislative elections on June 30 saw the Rassemblement National (RN, the former National Front founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen) come in first with 31 percent of the vote, followed by President Emmanuel Macron’s “Ensemble� coalition with 24 percent, and the leftist-unity Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) at 22 percent. The... Read More

Was fascism and its German variant, National Socialism, as pernicious, criminal, and reprehensible as democrats claim? Were the victorious democrats of the Second World War right to wipe out the slightest trace of these authoritarian governments through massive purges of documents and the systematic murder of several million people, especially in France and Germany? “Let’s...

For nearly three weeks I've been suggesting with increasing forcefulness that the official figure of 1,400 Israeli deaths from the Hamas attack may have been considerably exaggerated. Here's what I'd said last Monday: As far as I know, I was almost alone among Internet writers offering these bold speculations and I naturally received some sharp... Read More

I covered the birth of Jewish fascism in Israel. I reported on the extremist Meir Kahane, who was barred from running for office and whose Kach Party was outlawed in 1994 and declared a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States. I attended political rallies held by Benjamin Netanyahu, who received lavish funding from... Read More

It was a surprising admission when The New York Times reported in October that U.S. intelligence agencies finally acknowledged the assassination of Darya Dugina was authorized by the Ukrainian government. The unexpected confession came more than a month after a car bomb killed the 29-year old journalist and daughter of Russian political theorist Aleksandr Dugin... Read More

Paul Gottfried, Antifascism: The Course of a Crusade, Northern Illinois University Press, 2021, 209 pp., $31.26 hardcover, $12.99 Kindle Every day, American Renaissance posts stories about racial double standards, hypocrisy, and progressives’ absurd positions.

Concluding one of America’s more infamous obscenity trials in 1964, Justice Potter Stewart absolved a controversial French motion picture with an opinion that has since passed into common parlance: “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never...

The coronavirus epidemic has been highly instructive. In the face of a looming early death for millions of citizens, Western States have entered a genuine crisis in which the Schmittian sovereign – who was always there lying in waiting – has reemerged into the open and taken all the measures deemed necessary, liberty and law...

OK, we need to talk about fascism. Not just any kind of fascism. A particularly insidious kind of fascism. No, not the fascism of the early 20th Century. Not Mussolini’s National Fascist Party. Not Hitler’s NSDAP. Not Francoist fascism or any other kind of organized fascist movement or party. Not even the dreaded Tiki-torch Nazis.... Read More

Fascism in its inception was a distinctly localised phenomenon, growing out of the specific concerns and obsessions of Italians in the immediate post-WWI period. For example, one of the main drivers in the formation of the movement that is little commented on today was the Dalmatian question. During WWI, Italy had been promised Dalmatia --... Read More

It is always gratifying when one’s intuition is confirmed. I had the impression, picking up Madeleine Albright’s book Fascism: A Warning, that I would be treated to an exercise of “Fascism is bad. And everything I don’t like is Fascism!� The former secretary of State, a Jewish liberal originally hailing from Czechoslovakia, did not disappoint.... Read More
