    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Right, with the exception of the Crimean War the nineteenth century was relatively peaceful in Europe. Of course Europeans were still fighting abroad in colonies, but those wars weren't visible on the home front.

    Yeah, you had that and the Franco-Prussian War but no general conflagration like you had with the French Revolution or WW1. Prussia also fought Austria but that too was over quickly.

    It's a Francis Parker Yockey fest over here. Yockey was an American whose ideas had more of a impact in Europe than they did here. Yockey was critical of rationalism, materialism, and the post-war US led order despite being a review attorney at the Nuremberg Trials! He was fired in 1946. I started with Imperium.

    I just started this earlier this afternoon.

    http://www.amazon.com/Critics-Enligh...+enlightenment

    Critics of the Enlightenment: Readings in the French Counter-Revolutionary Tradition

    I read the foreword and introduction. I'm looking forward to starting the main body which is comprised of selections from Franois de Chateaubriand, Louis de Bonald, Joseph de Maistre, Frederic Le Play, Emile Keller, and Rene de La Tour du Pin. I'm obviously somewhat familiar with de Maistre but I've only read a single essay by Bonald. The rest I've never even heard of. Well, I have heard of Chateaubriand but only recently. I find the French right fascinating and their critique of the modernity in particular. Next up will be The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity.
