I wasn't sure which board to ask this question, but to the left-wingers here, are there any right-wingers that you respect and could recommend the writings of?
I've read a lot of left-wing literature lately, and I feel like I need some dialectical counterbalance just so I can get my internal argument going.
>when you're right wing but might as well pretend to redpill OP The Bible.
Oliver Cox
Books like The Republic are absolutely right wing. I also like Nick Land a lot, but the whole "Nick Land is right wing" meme is flat out wrong, he's more like a post-humanist (instead of a transhumanist) post-scarcity Maoist than anything.
Zachary Turner
I've already read the Bible tbqh. The Koran too.
Nicholas Wood
Here are some conservative works, as well as some more dialectical works to help you get a healthy back and forth going. Approach Evola with a cup of tea and make sure you fasten your seatbelt. Also stop going to /pol/.
The Architecture of Desire >Leon Krier The Conservative Mind >Russell Kirk Men Among the Ruins >Julius Evola Revolt against he Modern World >Julius Evola Ride the Tiger >Julius Evola The Dictator's Handbook >Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith The Seduction of Unreason: The Intellectual Romance with Fascism from Nietzsche to Postmodernism >Richard Wolin Deliberate Regression >Robert Harbison
Nicholas Morales
Didja also read the Talmud and the Avesta to complete the desert chronicles?
Daniel Anderson
Nah, but i've read the Upanishads. I guess i'll have to read those too now since you mentioned them.
Lucas Myers
i unironically love Henry Kissinger Idk if he is conservative though.
Hudson Cox
The New Testament is Left Wing
Jonathan Robinson
Thanks for the list. I've already read some Evola but not much. I was hoping I could get a less esoteric right-winger.
Perhaps someone like Roger Scruton. Have you read anything of his?

William F Buckeley Jr. was kind of the last conservative I still found interesting and articulate. He was always dignifies, well I suppose for the most part (Gore Vidal and all), and even when having lefties on, still held his own and was interesting. I remember watching an episode of Firing Line where he had Hitch and some "conservative" on, something Tyrell, where basically Hitch and Buckley just fucked around with the poor kid with everything going above Tyrell's head.
It was bretty entertaining.
Christopher Foster
*dignified.
Thanks, Mr iPhone

>Religion switches from Ethnic Nationalism to Universal mankind >Focus shift from controlling degeneracy to encouraging sympathy >Blatently anti-rich and wealth >Led by a nu-male hippy whose waifu was an ex-whore
Face it, Communism started with Christ
Andrew Sanchez
I've seen that episode too, both Hitch and Buckley were powerhouses, but that Tyrell guy was a complete buffoon in my estimation.
Lincoln Reyes
Scruton is a hack, he makes rhetorical appeals to shit like beauty as though he is unaware the 18th century ever happened in Philosophy. Read Krier.
Grayson Evans
>Read Krier.
Thanks.
Juan Murphy
Hayek
Sowell
They are both excellent articulators of the foundations of the right-wing (liberal) world-view.
Lucas Garcia
>>Religion switches from Ethnic Nationalism to Universal mankind Pharisees of the time were proselytizing their religion to goyim. They stopped when Christianity became a thing and Judaism started meaning the opposite of what Christianity teaches.
Jayden Brooks
Already read them both. I even slogged through Sowell's Basic Economics, which is quite the tome.
Jack Hill
>Blatently anti-rich and wealth False. The parable of talents should tell you enough. Money is not a replacement for God. >Led by a nu-male hippy whose waifu was an ex-whore I've yet to see numales go against the powers that be in a daring way, like taking the money changers out of the temple. No reliable proof of the ex-whore waifu.
Christianity does not promote capitalism. I find mercantilism to be more in line, and the labor market of HRE.
Nathan Wilson
>capitalism is evil >so I uploaded my own movie to pirate bay
Dickens wrote about the plight of the poor. Steinbeck wrote about the plight of the poor. Hemingway was anti-war. The Divine Comedy was a political rant against the Holy Roman Empire. Most religions support helping people instead of fucking people over.
You're basically left with Lovecraft who was racist as fuck and Ayn Rand who was a crazy bitch. Have fun.
Elijah Johnson
I guess I could be more specific though. What I want is someone who argues from a generally right-wing stance which doesn't necessarily have to include a defense of capitalism. Perhaps maybe just a defense of family values, or a defense of hierarchy in general.
I want to hear both sides of the argument so I can have a dialectical discussion with myself in writing.
Ryan Cox
I also want to add that I don't want to strawman my potential opposition.
Colton Baker
Sure thing man. There's an unrelated book called "The Architecture of Desire" by some woman. That's not what you want. You want Leon Krier's "An Architecture of Desire," published in the early 80s, as the introduction to the only monograph of the work of Albert Speer ever published. Speer was Hitler's architect, and Krier's introduction is one of the most genius indictments of modernity I've ever read.
I cannot for the life of me find a PDF thoug, sorry user. The book is hard to find as well; it's... not popular with publishers.
Christian Evans
Wow. If that's true, that's great. I'm sure I'll find it, but thanks for being so helpful user.
Luis Thompson
One last thing, the monograph was republished in 2012, and Krier's essay was "edited" by some woman in that edition. You want the unedited original version, written in 1983, included only with the first edition of the book. An old professor loaned it to ,Ed when I was in school and it had a profound impact on me as a student. Godspeed user and if you ever do find it, scan that Shit for Veeky Forums.
Also you're welcome. Also read the Dictators Handbook that shit is insane.
Luis Jones
Thanks m8, much appreciated.
Levi Richardson
Celine, Naipaul, Dostoevsky (although it produced some of his best work I think his turn to right wing politics was a deterioration of his sanity).
Brandon Hall
Just remember that any contemporary right wing literature is probably going to be trash. There are no good right wing thinkers anymore. People like Karl Popper or T. S. Eliot don't exist anymore; now it's all just memes like Nick Land.
Jack Allen
>when you redefine "right-wing" as "hating poor and brown people and always supporting war", and suddenly most human beings become leftists damn u r smart
Blake Gray
I'm not a big fan of Buckley, but some he did have some interesting people on his show. The Kerouac episode might be one of my favorite pieces of television ever made.
As far as right wing writers go, the only two that come to mind are Kissinger and Burke. I despise the former, but he is bright.
Connor Carter
>Burke
Damnit. I didn't think of that at all. Thanks for reminding me dude.
t. OP.
Noah Bell
>The Divine Comedy was a political rant against the Holy Roman Empire. It's not really appropriate to apply modern political terms to people from Dante's time. As far as I knew, he had one foot in the middle ages and one in the Renaissance.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Heidegger Schmitt Alasdair Macintyre
Cameron Young
Why? He was BTFO by The Hitch.
Hudson Flores
Nietzsche
Andrew Myers
Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss had a good dialogue with one another. I would recommend reading through their letters to one another. There's a book called "Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss: The Hidden Dialogue" that has them collected. Also, Schmitt's essay "The Concept of the Political", and Strauss' "On Tyranny" are pretty classic.
Oliver Mitchell
>Led by a nu-male hippy whose waifu was an ex-whore Literally hasn't read the Bible
Noah Roberts
What a pretentious and righteous fella that guy sounds like. What sophistry. Literally a Pharisee.
What use does being inwardly angry have? It has no use. There may be a use in appearing to be angry so that you can gain the respect of or intimidate others, but inward anger has no use whatsoever. This guy sounds as if he's glorifying negative emotions.
It's not even necessary to criticize that guy with "Wh-why can't you be nice instead of so sarcastic and bitter? Christ said to be nice." He is his own punishment.
Not only that, but what's even more hilarious is how well he think he can get Christ's personality, how he thinks he so intimately knows Christ from reading the Gospels.
Joseph Bennett
This image makes no sense. His films are a public service, he makes them for the good of humanity. The only reason why he has to "sell" them is because in or current capitalist culture, he has no other way of surviving.
