I hardly ever watch YouTube. Most of my information, I read, as that is much easier. If I want some sound in the background to prevent me from having to manage my own thoughts, I listen to Rumble or normal podcasts. When I do go to YouTube, it is just to watch Judge Napolitano’s interviews... Read More
They terrify our rulers
Thumbnail credit: © Imago/ZUMAPRESS.com This video is available on Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee. In my video two weeks ago, I said I would talk about the remarkable German politician, Sahra Wagenknecht. She is an example of a thoroughgoing lefty who is on our side on immigration. You seem to find people like her only in... Read More
Robinson Erhardt Discussion
Robinson: Michael, I read in your book, Killing the Host, that you decided to become an economist after meeting one named Terrence McCarthy, who explained to you why financial crises tend to occur in the autumn after crops are harvested. And this was an interesting question. What’s the story and why was it so compelling... Read More
The controversy surrounding Elon Musk and the ADL has once again exposed the rhetorical emptiness of blaming the 'left' for current woes. While elements of the Left are more tolerated than those on the Right by the powers-that-be, the ultimate arbiter of the official narrative/agenda is Jewish Power that is, at its core, ultra-rightist in...

One way to delineate the Left vs. Right divide is as a clash between the Ideal and the Real, between the Utopian and the Pragmatic. Or between the experienced and the untested, in the sense that even what had begun as utopianism became, over time, 'established' with a set of dogma and sense of limits,... Read More
A year or two ago, I received a large, unsolicited and apparently self-published book in the mail: Who Is My Neighbor? An Anthology in Natural Relations, edited by Thomas Achord and Darrell Dow. Neither name was familiar to me. Since my available reading time is somewhat constrained, I did no more than leaf through it... Read More
When we survey the modern world, especially of people of European origin and the developed parts of East Asia, there is clearly a problem stemming from certain sexual imbalances. Consider the declining birth rates among white women and the problems of white males in finding worthy partners in marriage. Indeed, in a world where something... Read More
Mark Levin’s new best-seller American Marxism contains some essential truths but leads to a dead end [Mark Levin’s ‘American Marxism’ Sells 1 Million Copies In First 10 Weeks, by Alana Mastrangelo, Breitbart, September 23, 2021]. Levin wants to save “our institutions” but misses that those institutions are already on the other side (witness their overwhelming... Read More
Tonight we will be discussing a new book slated for release on Imperium Press, the Philosophy of Marx by Italian Fascist philosopher Giovanni Gentile, with its translator Zoltanous. You can watch it live on Youtube. MP3 will be uploaded afterwards here.
Author’s Note: This article and its final quote are dedicated to the memory of Andre Vltchek: A life time of dedication to the cause. Rest in Peace, Compadre! ¨What is certain is that I, myself, am not a Marxist¨ - Karl Marx. Karl Heinrich Marx is presumably pounding wildly at the coffin lid of his... Read More
Chinese scholar Lanxin Xiang has written a book The Quest for Legitimacy in Chinese Politics, that is arguably the most extraordinary effort in decades trying to bridge the East-West politico-historical divide. It's impossible in a brief column to do justice to the relevance of the discussions this book inspires. Here we will highlight some of... Read More

In a recent article, I explored the influence of Freud’s Jewishness on the formation, reception and propagation of his psychoanalytical theory. I wish now to do the same for Karl Marx (1818-1883). In contrast to Freud’s, Marx’s Jewishness is seldom considered an important factor. If you type “Freud Jewish” as key-words on Amazon.com, you will... Read More

I was recently struck by a video by the French civic nationalist and anti-Zionist Alain Soral. I have to personally credit Soral’s videos, among other things, for breaking the mainstream conditioning which had prevented me from thinking outside of the liberal-egalitarian sandbox, so to speak. Hence, while I am quite critical of important parts of... Read More

The West’s Finance-Capitalist Road
May 5-6, 2018 Lecture Second World Marxism Conference Peking University, School of Marxist Studies Volumes II and III of Marx’s Capital describe how debt grows exponentially, burdening the economy with carrying charges. This overhead is subjecting today’s Western finance-capitalist economies to austerity, shrinking living standards and capital investment while increasing their cost of living and... Read More

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of the longest experiment in Communism in recent history. Many saw this event as the proof that Communism (or Marxism-Leninism, I use these interchangeably here) was not a viable ideology. After all, if in Russia Communism was formally ended in 1991, the Chinese quietly... Read More
About ten years ago I published a book, The Strange Death of Marxism, which argued strenuously that the present Left is not Marxist, but post-Marxist. Unlike traditional Marxists and European democratic socialists, the type of Left that has gained ground since and even before the fall of the Soviet Empire is culturally radical but only... Read More

The anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss died six years ago, leaving behind a treasure trove of correspondence and unpublished writings. We can now trace where his ideas came from and how they evolved. I admired Lévi-Strauss during my time as an anthropology student because he asked questions that Marxist anthropologists would never ask. That's why I preferred... Read More
The anthropologist Bernard Arcand passed away last Friday at the age of 63. He was one of my favorite professors at Laval, probably because he was among the least ideological ones. He avidly read the works of different Marxist writers but never considered himself to be one. In fact, he often criticized the unconscious Marxism... Read More
Most workers engage in struggles and many join trade unions or social movements to improve their living standards and working conditions with little knowledge of Marxism. In some cases they learn from experiences or from second-hand some of the basic teachings and practices of MARXISM without having read a single Marxist text or listened to... Read More
Introduction: “Post-Marxism” has become a fashionable intellectual posture, with the triumph of neo-liberalism and the retreat of the working class. The space vacated by the reformist left [in Latin America] has in part been occupied by capitalist politicians and ideologues, technocrats and the traditional and fundamentalist churches (Pentecostals and the Vatican). In the past, this... Read More
