Reddit mentions of Against Democracy and Equality: The European New Right

That concept reminds me of a quote I jotted down from Sunic's book Against Democracy and Equality

>"For the New Right, the fundamental problem with liberalism is its self-contradictory attitude towards equality. The New Right emphasises time and again that equality cannot be controlled; once it is proclaimed in the legal and political fields, equality must run its full course in all other fields, including the field of economics. Accordingly, equal legal rights make no sense, unless they are backed up by equal economic rights, i.e., rights to equal shares of affluence."

Normalizing pedophilia is simply an extension of egalitarianism into the sexual realm.

Oh holy shit it's stainslemountaintops. He's the resident alt-right poster over at the german sub /r/de. I once posted a comment under a post about fascism explaining how, curiously enough, there doesn't appear to be any fascist philosophy, as opposed to conservative, liberal, marxist philosophy. What is fascism? What are its main textss? Fascists don't really want to tell as otherwise you'd be able to intellectually refute them. I linked to Umberto Ecos essay on the main attributes of fascism, including its antiintellectualism as an explanation.

This is where stains provided me with a few links to nouvelle droite literature, mostly by alain de benoist and Tomislav Sunic. Gems like Manifesto for a European Renaissance:

> It offers a strong argument in favor of the right to difference among cultures and civilizations, and the right of peoples to defend themselves from cultural homogenization. It also offers a vision of a regenerated Europe which will find its strength in a return to its authentic values and traditions, in opposition to the new imperialism of multiculturalism and the global marketplace. Alain

And Against Democracy and Equality:

>Dr. Sunic examines the principal themes which have concerned the thinkers of the New Right since its inception by Alain de Benoist in 1968, such as the problematic nature of the label 'New Right' for a school which sees itself as being beyond traditional concepts of both the left and the right; its revolutionary political philosophy; its conception of history in terms of cycles; its attitude toward democracy, capitalism and socialism; and its endorsement of 'pagan' spirituality

Not exactly the kind of proper, academic philosophy in the vein of Hobbes, Locke or Rawles I was looking for. I still maintain that fascism has no philosophy as it runs against its syncretic and antiintellecutal nature.

So anyway, that's how I came to know stains. He may be a new-righter, but he is a courteous poster.
