Robert Stark and co-host Alex von Goldstein interview Keith Preston about his book\u00a0Thinkers Against Modernity<\/a><\/p>\n

Topics include:<\/p>\n

How the book is an examination of thinkers critical of modernity from a value neutral perspective
\nHow Keith is influenced by the intellectual tradition of the enlightenment, yet finds value in traditionalist critiques of modernity
\nJulius Evola as the purest critique of modernity
\nHow the Right tends to have a pessimistic view of the present and idealizes a particular era of the past(ex. Julius Evola the 8th Century BC, Nietzsche the Sophist era in Ancient Greece, \u00a0Traditional Catholics the Middle Ages, and mainstream conservatives the 1950’s or Reagan Era)
\nDefining characteristic of the Right include rejection of social change, egalitarianism, and universalism, and a fixed view of human nature
\nNietzsche’s point that ideologies become new religions, and how\u00a0the modern politically correct left is a new moralistic religion rather than genuine liberalism or Marxism
\nAleister Crowley’s aristocratic individualism, and his view that capitalism and mass democracy degraded a genuine cultural elitism
\nThe Distributist G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, their views on the distribution of capital, and their critic of capitalism as degrading traditional values
\nCarl Schmidt’s view that democracy was incompatible\u00a0with liberal individualism
\nHow Carl Schmidt subscribed to the realist school of though and viewed the United States as\u00a0having an ideologically driven foreign policy
\nThe United States as a nation founded on Classical Liberalism and the Enlightenment
\nThe European New Right, how it was founded in the late 1960’s as a counter to the New Left, fusing aspects of the New Left with the conservative revolution of the interwar period
\nHow the New Right tried to appeal to the left on issues such as anti-globalization, anti-consumerism, anti-imperialism, and environmentalism
\nThe New Right’s critique of political correctness, feminism, and mass immigration as being products of capitalism
\nNoam Chomsky on capitalism and anti-racism <\/a>
\nThe American Alternative Right, how it is influenced by the European New Right, and how it is different
\nGuillaume Faye’s Archeo-Futurism and futurist thought on the right<\/p>\n
