Биоленинизм

Это, пожалуй, самая важный труд в неореакционном дискурсе примерно с 2013 года. Автор spandrell, кстати, живет в Китае и владеет китайским, поэтому его комменты о Китае тоже достаточно интересные. Переводчик – Skomorokh. Оригинал на закрытом форуме, но он дал согласие на публичное размещение. Я текст немного подредактировал. АК Этот текст представляет из себя перевод серии

Mapping The Dark Enlightenment

/

I’m a sucker for classification graphs, so I was delighted to see that “Another Reactionary Blog” had compiled a “map” of the neo-reactionary / “Dark Enlightenment” thinkers. It’s reproduced below: I’m not disappointed not to see myself there, as I blog about a lot of different things making classification quite hard. If I had to

Poker And Capitalism

/

“[Poker] exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made [the United States] so great.” Just consider the array of similarities: 1. Though there are rules and etiquette loosely associated with it, otherwise everything goes: in other words, its fundamental nature is profoundly amoral. (This is contrary to the ideologues who claim that capitalism is either

4. Freedom from fear, the only real freedom. Political scientists try to rank countries based on their levels of “freedom”, frequently arbitrarily defined and applied (Freedom House, Economist Democracy Index, Polity IV, etc). Yet despite the inconsistencies and difficulties with quantifying something as abstract and intangible as freedom across cultural and civilization borders, for all

Defending the Loop

/

Following my posting of Russia’s Sisyphean Loop, the influential East-Central Europe expert, Vlad Sobell, wrote up an interesting critique at the Untimely Thoughts Russia Discussion Group. It addresses what may be considered some weak, or at least not thoroughly explained, points from the original article, so I thought it would be useful to reproduce it

Anatoly Karlin @ www.DaRussophile.com PDF version | DOC version Russia’s Sisyphean Loop The Eternal Return to the Future? In this article I attempt to explain Russia’s historical cycles of failed Westernization and to project its future socio-political trajectory.

1. Long Live Death! Why is everyone so afraid of death? Granted, it is directly opposed to our instinct of self-preservation; but in reality, our intellect should recognize it as the road to the ultimate freedom – a world free of boxes, restrictions, the prison of existence itself. As the Japanese saying goes, “while duty

The Return of the Reich?

/

This is my second follow-up post to The Belief Matrix, in which I attempted to advance a universal model for civilizational responses to subsistence crises (The Malthusian Loop) and the Western challenge (The Sisyphean Loop). This time I will look at Germany, a nation that was always torn between its hard-assimilated Roman / Western identity, and German

The Belief Matrix

/

Consequent to my post Categorizing the Russia Debate and the lively debate it spawned, it occurred to me that much of Russia’s tortured and intriguing history could be rationalized as a self-reinforcing loop within a belief matrix. This can even be extended further to many other societies – I will also have similar posts up
