Despite being extremely eager to read "Against Democracy and Equality", the book proved to be a work of rigid prose and recycled/mixed thought.
"The New Right" (adopting its name from a slur created by the French Media), is essentially a mix of Leftist and Rightist ideas. While taking influence from great Occidental minds like Spengler, Pareto, and Schmitt, the New Right also takes influence from Leftists like Italian Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci. The New Right believes (rightfully) designat...more

Although I agree with many of the ideas expressed by the so called European "new right" (not to be confused with neo-conservatism or traditional right wing paleo-conservatism) especially the faction that wants to be rid of Christianity and bring back Paganism in Europe, reading this book was about as exciting or interesting as watching paint dry.
Another fault this book has is it paints the "new right" as being a real political movement when in reality it is nothing but a vague ideology that is...more

Not all that well-written; it's obvious that Sunic isn't a native English speaker. That doesn't much impact the book itself, since the clear lack of editing usually just manifests itself in the form of the typical ESL overuse of definite articles, but there are some moments where it's definitely jarring. I don't think "bestiality" means what Sunic thinks it means.
It's difficult to follow the arguments at times, although that's more a product of the times than anything else; the last third of the...more

I'm going to split this between the odd context around this book, including some of the reviews on this site, and then to, well, the text.
1) This book had a strange pathway into my hands. I borrowed it from a former neonazi who is also a practicing pagan. It seems like it's on reading lists for people who are into both of the above; probably as much because of the title as because it deals with the rise in pagan and anti-democratic ideas in Europe. This readership's reaction to the text seems to...more

Great overview of the European New Right, clearly written and easy to follow. The additional prefaces and notes at the beginning and the Manifesto for a European Renaissance by de Benoist and Champetier make this the essential version of the text.
Required reading for anyone not familiar with the New Right's Gramscian approach to meta-politics, which is a the current left/ right battleground (see many a discussion on Death in June, Sol Invictus and the contemporary cultural currency of thinkers l...more
