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 passe 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
