The black rose re-synthesised

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 27 November 2005 21:58.

The estimable Troy Southgate has circulated the philosophical cogniscenti of the New Right - and me - with the URL for his revamped Synthesis website. There is a lot of interesting material there, not too much of it overly conventional.

This is how the site bills itself:-

... an irregularly-published intellectual and cultural journal devoted to Anarchy (the preservation of the Anarch [or Sovereign Individual] in all aspects of life and the possibility of multi-level realities), Occulture (the appreciation and understanding of the Esoteric nature of Life and Culture), and Metapolitics (a rejection of trivial party politics and an interest in global aims, as well as a political belief in grand plans and projects with an anti-Humanist streak). Our aim is to explore key figures such as Ernst Juenger, Michael Bakunin, Julius Evola, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Jean Parvulesco, Friedrich Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, Otto Strasser, Miguel Serrano, Ernst Niekisch, Jean-Francois Thiriart, R.A. Schwaller de Lubitz, Sergei Nechayev, Savitri Devi, Austin Osman Spare, Richard Walther Darre, Alexander Dugin, Karl Haushofer, Arthur Machen, Rene Guenon, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Francis Parker Yockey, H.P. Lovecraft, and Friederich Hielscher.

Troy also organises regular meetings of the New Right in London, only one of which I have been able to attend. The idea is to generate some interest and excitement around the lost generation of nineteenth and early twentieth century thinkers from the right, whose ideas were submerged by the triumph in Europe of communism and liberal democracy in 1945. Troy’s meetings usually feature four of five speakers on diverse philosophical issues, Aleksandr Dugin being the biggest name to speak so far.

By contrast with all this I am a centrist pussy cat, of course - but one, I hope, with a fairly open and curious mind. It is necessary if one intends to plant those black roses.

I believe Southgate is a National Bolshevik, or at least very sympathetic.

If you’re looking for New Right texts, here’s a pretty good selection:

There are many problems with National Bolshevism, namely:

1) They tend to downplay or ignore race-related issues;

2) they’re fascinated by intricate leftist economic arguments;

3) they pledge allegiance to the traitorous, back-stabbing Strasser brothers.

In sum, they’re irrelevant; and have nothing to say on the big questions: race, immigration, and the JQ.

I’ll mail you Soren. In the comments section it appears that EE software cannot process a Danish slashed O.

Troy isn’t an NB. He is an anarchist - and a supporter of Crystal Palace FC, upon which we have communicated a good deal more than anarchism.

Søren,

I corrected—many days ago—your spelling as far as your entries are concerned (Soren now shows as Søren). On the other hand, there is a shortcoming in the current EE engine that shows your first name as SÃ¸ren if you post a comment while you are logged in. The workaround presently is to not be logged in when you post a comment. Just use a different browser to post your comment than the browser that you have used to log into the MR control panel or don’t log in in the first place.

I have used your name right next to mine in this comment and it is being rendered properly.

You have the permission to edit any comment. Click on the EDIT tab (top-left), find the entry and then click on the “view” link under the comments heading. Then find the comment that you wish to edit, click on the leftmost column (displays the first few words of the comment) and do the editing.

There’s more to life, FB. A sensible position on these issues is sufficient; focus on the more complex (internal) social and spiritual quesitons is desirable.

Hello Søren,

Yes, it’s true that I’m not a National-Bolshevik. I’m actually a National-Anarchist and reject the State completely in favour of autonomous comminities which seek to have their own space in which to live in accordance with their own principles. Here are some projects that I’m involved with:

Thanks for helping to spread the word about Synthesis. I enjoy reading this website, so keep up the good work.

Best regards,
TROY.

I was led to MR via Mr Southgate.

I followed a link to the national-anarchist site for an interview with Jim Saleam,from N-A.org i found a link to OZ Conservative and from there i found a link to MR.com.
