The Old Right means Fascism, National Socialism, and other national-populist movements, which are the pre-eminent attempts to restore traditional hierarchical social forms within the context of modernity. Fascism and National Socialism were not merely reactionary, rear-guard resistances to modern egalitarianism by partisans of corrupt hierarchies. They represented a genuinely revolutionary impetus to restore vital, archaic, hierarchical values within the context of modern science, technology, and mass society.
Robert Stark interviews returning guest Greg Johnson. Topics include:
How the North American New Right is founded on the rejection of Fascist and National Socialist party politics, totalitarianism, terrorism, imperialism, and genocide;
How the New Right and the Old Right share the same goal–a society that is not just hierarchical but also organic;
The rejection of both egalitarianism and the plutocracy, and the need for a meritocracy.
Robert Stark interviews returning guest Greg Johnson. Greg Johnson discusses his article, article, Occupy Wall Street: Big Money & No Ideas and alternative and “third way economics”.
Greg writes: “Beyond Left and Right, socialism and capitalism, is nationalism. Whether you call it national socialism or national capitalism, social credit, corporatism, distributism, or producer capitalism versus finance capitalism, the third way boils down to this: we believe in private property broadly distributed, the moral rights of producers to the fruits of their labor, an end to usury and other forms of financial parasitism, and economic regulations to make sure that private interests (in low wages and open borders, for instance) do not conflict with the interest of the nation.”
