Dr. Greg Johnson is the editor of Counter-Currents Publishing and its journal North American New Right (www.counter-currents.com), which draw upon the ideas of the European New Right to promote a new approach to White Nationalist politics in North America. New Right vs. Old Right collects 32 essays in which Dr. Johnson sets out his vision of White Nationalist "metapolitics" and distinguishes it from Fascism and National Socialism (the "Old Right"), as well as conservatism and classical liberalism (the "Phony Right"). Dr. Johnson rejects the Old Right's party politics, totalitarianism, imperialism, and genocide in favor of the metapolitical project of constructing a hegemonic White Nationalist consciousness within a pluralistic society. He argues that White Nationalists are too dependent on the model of hierarchical organizations and need also to work on creating resilient lateral networks. He offers New Rightist answers to a number of disputed questions within the White Nationalist community, including white culpability for our decline, Hitler and National Socialism, the Jewish question, the holocaust, the role of women, Christianity vs. paganism, and the relationships of populism, elitism, and democracy. He sets out some basic principles for creating a growing, resilient, networked movement. Finally, he criticizes distractions and dead-ends like "mainstreaming," conservatism, "premature" populism, and political violence. Engagingly written and constructively critical, Greg Johnson's New Right vs. Old Right is an important contribution to the emerging North American New Right. Praise for New Right vs. Old Right "Greg Johnson's basic point is that we must work to create a metapolitics of explicit white identity-that is, a movement that will develop 'the intellectual and cultural foundations for effective White Nationalist politics in North America, so that we can ultimately create a white homeland or homelands on this continent.' Greg is one of the reasons why I think this is a feasible project. . . . Greg received his Ph.D. in philosophy, and it shows. His forte is the well-developed argument presented in a lucid, easily understood style. Nobody can complain about this book being filled with turgid prose. And I can't find any major disagreements." -Kevin MacDonald, from the Foreword "In New Right vs. Old Right, Greg Johnson lays out his vision for a pro-white movement more focused on ideas, education, and communication than on politics or thuggery. True to this vision, his writing is extremely accessible. Throughout this collection, Johnson breaks down complex philosophical concepts and challenging ideas into tight, efficient sentences and effective explanations. Johnson doesn't drone on trying to sound clever. Like an enthusiastic professor, he truly wants his readers to understand why he believes it is morally right for whites-and all peoples-to determine their own collective destinies." -Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men "Dr. Greg Johnson's New Right vs. Old Right delineates the differences between two 'Rights,' without repudiating the common philosophical origins of both in opposing egalitarianism and other passé ideologies that continue to dominate much of the world. The primary value of this collection of essays, however, is that Dr. Johnson asks the perennial question, from our side: "what is truth?" In doing so he lays the foundations for a morality of the New Right. This book is therefore unique in the English-speaking Rightist milieu that was, for much of the post-1945 era, poorly served in comparison to its counterparts in Europe. As such, Dr. Johnson's book will be of relevance to many beyond the North American New Right, of which he is a founding father." -Kerry Bolton, author of Artists of the Right

I missed reading it after I finished it.

ByRadial Symmetryon April 17, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Are you searching for the secret to awakening racial solidarity among white people?

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix or well-defined route, but there are things to look for, and it is these things that Greg Johnson wishes to show us in New Right vs Old Right. With direct and thorough prose, Johnson shows us the pitfalls vs the positive steps we can take in our quest to advance the New Right's cause in North America.

Along the way you'll learn about meta-politics and the need for white hegemony to frame both sides of political discussion--and just who has hegemony now. Also introduced is the concept of a white civil religion and how it would bring white people together.

A professor of philosophy, Johnson frequently alludes to ancient Greek political structures in order to shed light on the present and create a vision of the future. He is both serious and realistic about doing what is best for white people as he keeps an intelligent, long run strategy in view.

In addition to presenting theories and concepts, Johnson gives advice on how to deal with practical concerns of being a New Right devotee today. These include everything from how to convert more people to the cause, to the question of whether to go public with one's views. Especially important is advice on dealing with the anti-white calumny that we'd start a holocaust if we had power.

My practical advice on reading this book is to skip around and read what interests you the most. After a while of doing this I became hooked, and now that I've finished the book, I actually miss it and am re-reading it.

While I don't necessarily agree with all his positions and emphases, Johnson is my fellow co-religionist in the new white civil religion. He is a fellow intellectual observer who stands against bourgeois man and all his short-run materialistic ways.

I recommend it for anyone who's searching and for anyone who wants to get a few steps closer.

A Book by and for Free Spirits

ByWest Coast White Nationaliston May 13, 2014

Format: Paperback

Greg Johnson writes about highly controversial, indeed heretical ideas in a disarmingly rational and moderate, yet unapologetic tone that is persuasive, mentally liberating, and infectious (some would say "virulent"). Johnson is quite learned but also lucid and compulsively readable. In addition to the title essay, in which he sets out his vision of a post-totalitarian far Right, the outstanding essays here are "Metapolitics and Occult Warfare" which deals with Rene Guenon's and Julius Evola's take on the mechanisms of political change, encompassing what today are called "conspiracy theories"; "Reflections on Carl Schmitt's THE CONCEPT OF THE POLITICAL," which is a masterful and concise reading of Schmitt's most influential book; "The Moral Factor," which is a critique of political cynicism and bourgeois politics based on Plato's tripartite soul in THE REPUBLIC," and "Notes on Populism, Elitism, and Democracy," which employs Aristotle to argue for a vision of society that is both hierarchical and organic, i.e., in which inequality is justified only by its service to the common good. Johnson's discussions of contemporary political trends are as on-target as these more heady essays. A compilation of essays ranging in length from 3 to 16 pages, this book combines a tone of high intellectual rigor and moral seriousness with a sparkling, accessible, often witty writing style. This is a book that I will read again with pleasure and profit.

An Accessible, Well-Written, and Intellectually Exciting Collection of Essays

Byninthavataron May 13, 2014

Format: Paperback

In this collection of 32 lucid and concise essays, Greg Johnson prepares the intellectual groundwork of a North American version of the metapolitics of the European New Right associated with such thinkers as Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye. Johnson agrees with the European New Right's emphasis on metapolitics, but he differs in the emphasis he places on biological race as a dimension of European identity and also on his frank discussion of the Jewish question. Johnson deals with the nature and necessity of metapolitics or cultural warfare, explains the key concept of "hegemony," and discusses the moral foundations of the New Right and the psychology of conversion. He weighs in on such "Disputed Questions" as Holocaust revisionism, "The Burden of Hitler," the role of women, and the degree of white culpability in our decline. He sets forth his vision of a networked metapolitical movement and rejects various "Distractions and Dead Ends." Johnson's goal is the same as the fascists and National Socialists: a restoration of a traditional hierarchical and organic society under the conditions of modernity, but he rejects their totalitarianism, terrorism, and imperialism in favor of building a hegemonic racial consciousness. In truth, this is a Right-wing version of contemporary liberal "soft totalitarianism." Greg Johnson has a doctorate in philosophy, but don't let that scare you. His writing reminds me of such first-rate popularizers as Alan Watts and Bryan Magee. He makes judicious and illuminating use of such thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, William James, Rene Guenon, and Julius Evola. This is the most intellectually exciting book that I have read since Guillaume Faye's ARCHEOFUTURISM. Highly recommended.

The Right Stuff

ByJoe G.on May 13, 2014

Format: Paperback

This book changed the way I think about politics. The format of the book--a compilation of articles that can be read either as standalone works or as one coherent argument--makes it extremely easy to pick up. I started with the chapter titles that caught my attention the most ("Metapolitics and Occult Warfare," "Secret Agents," "Learning from the Left" etc.), but once I started, I couldn't put it down. From this collection of works, a coherent vision clearly emerges; Johnson's project is to define a post-totalitarian vision of the far right. His insights are fresh and inspired. I read every article in under a week, and am looking forward to more from Johnson.
