Review call: Guillaume’s Faye’s Why We Fight

Posted by Guessedworker on Monday, 25 April 2011 14:41.

Arktos.com has put out a review call for the new translation of Faye’s 278-page book Pourquoi Nous Combattons.  The paperback edition appears in three days and the hardback on 5th May.

Arktos describes the book thus:

The book contains a manifesto for European political action against liberalism, ethnic self-hatred and what Faye terms Islamic ‘colonisation’, as well as an ‘Ideological Dictionary’ of 177 key terms which he believes are essential for all members of the ‘European resistance’ to comprehend and adopt in their own approaches to the problems at hand. Faye argues for the creation of a ‘Eurosiberian Bloc’ - a new, federalist Europe based on traditional, anti-globalist values which will incorporate all nations from Ireland to the farthest reaches of Russia and make itself independent of American hegemony. Faye also levels criticism against his former comrades from the European New Right, who he believes have retreated into the realm of pure theory and academic respectability.

This edition was translated and an original Foreword was added by Michael O’Meara, the famed author of New Culture, New Right, the most extensive overview of the European New Right to appear in English to date. The book also includes additional material and a Foreword by Pierre Krebs, the chairman of Thule-Seminar, one of the most prominent New Right groups in Germany.

If you are interested in writing a review for MR, please let me know.  I will arrange for a review copy to be forwarded to you.

You can send me a copy, just e mail me and I will give you my address, and I will read it and return it to you with a review.

Eep!

I will read it and return it to you with a review.

This will be a tough call.  Although there is the differential of, oh, 50 IQ points to break the stalemate.

Dont worry GW, I couldnt care less that you and soren have an IQ 50 points below mine.

It is a truly tragic fact that those people most sympathetic to Nazism as a political methodology for the attainment of nationalist goals in modern democratic political systems, or who seek to impose Nazi politics on society via usurping nationalism for their own ends, are by their nature either morally bankrupt of intellectually impoverished.

Usually the two combined. 

It is a real tragedy that the Nazi Autism Meme is so infectious amongst those who really do think they are intellectually superior.

Just had an idea.

How about we do a ‘Taste Test’, and you send us both a book and we both do a review and then see what the comments say after they are posted up.

Now we all know that Soren and you are part of the same ‘Love In ‘, so you will want Soren to give a review that coincides with what you want the review to say - so send me a copy and I will critique it my way.

Most important of though it will save me having to spend a few quid and buy it.

We’re still waiting for Soren’s review of the de Benoist book (apologies if I somehow missed it).

I wouldn’t mind reviewing something by Faye myself. The articles about him by O’Meara really piqued my interest. I don’t like his anti-Americanism (which may be more anti-elite-liberal-American than anti-heartland America), but otherwise I think his approach is sound (especially in favoring cultivating Israel over any pro-Muslim outreaches).

That’s funny, Leon, and a good idea—which is why you can expect Guessedworker to shoot you down. I’m sure you remember Renner’s last “review”.

Leon,

The renneR DID review it, but, as expected, the content of his review amounted to little more than ‘Eep’!

I suspect that subject matter may have has something to do with the brevity of Soren’s de Benoist review.  I’ve never understood what the fuss is about with this fellow.  Maybe it was all terrible exciting to see someone produce a critique of liberalism in the Swinging Sixties.  But the culturism, anti-empiricism, anti-racialism, and Judeophilia which de Benoist cleaves to today does not appeal to me very much.

Faye is altogether more bracing, and I’m sure that will be reflected in Soren’s review.

Well, you humor a friend. Haller can actually analyze and express himself. Give it a go.

I see little justification for criticism of renneR’s review of The Problem of Democracy.

I’m thankful that many writers here at MR don’t write as if they are being paid base on the word-count of their articles.

Short book; Short review. Those who prefer to have books read to them should be patient while they are awaiting the Kindle version.

I would welcome a review from Lee John Barnes in addition to Soren’s.

Indeed, I sniff a future contest in the offing. How interesting it would be to have a dozen or more regulars, very much including supercilious blowhards like ‘Silver’ and ‘Ivan’, read the same book (obviously, all but one person would have to buy their own copies, but I trust that not all race realists are also paupers), and all submit reviews. It would be even more interesting if the reviews were a) to be subject to a maximum word count (to accommodate Jimmy Marr’s ADD); b) all assigned ID numbers (as are exams in US law schools) by GW; c) then posted anonymously; and lastly, d) ‘rated’ by the broader MR community.

That would be something, eh? A donnybrook for this herd of self-styled ‘independent thinkers’.

Apropos of nothing: What is this racial sickness afflicting the most privileged of our people?!

http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/thefamous/sandra-bullock-2010s-magazine-cover-golden-girl/1144

Why? Why?

I’m sick of it!

Leon,

There’s nothing to stop anyone buying the book and writing a review, which I will publish if it is suitably thoughtful.  But Arktos offer us one free copy, and I can’t abuse that offer with requests for more.

Why? Why?

One of the chief reasons is ignorance. Amongst others is whites see great benefit in breaking ranks with their own. They know they’ll benefit greatly by aligning themselves and embracing non-white racial interests. Not only does it make these white race-traitors feel all warm and fuzzy inside, they benefit politically, socially and economically by doing so. Conversely, if they embrace their own, it invariably results in social ostracisation and economic ruin.  That’s the sick twisted world we live in. This is precisely the dynamic we as white preservationists must change.

Didn’t I deal with that rather more than implicitly?

I still, after all these years, am unable to understand how this state of affairs came to be. It could be the subject of many volumes. Why don’t most whites see things as we do? I was WN way before I read anything by WNs.

This must be where the Jews come into it. They are so disproportionately represented in the upper echelons of society that their concerns and infatuations set the tone and parameters for the rest of us. The best of us then conform ourselves to the Zeitgeist.

Of course, Bullock’s career would hardly be harmed had she not adopted a black baby! There is a sickness that is endogenous with our race.

Well in Bullock’s case, going by how her teeth are so gritted, i’d say it was coerced.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/heil_hath_no_fury_QjBxy5clbASeYwKNXKUaUI

Her husband did a Hitler salute at a party which would have meant no future roles for her if she hadn’t split up with him and done something to “prove” she was anti-white.

In cases like Madonna or Jolie i’d go with Thorn’s explanation.
