The nation state – the only way to democratic control

Democracy in the literal direct sense does not exist in the modern world, indeed for practical reasons cannot exist in a state of any size.  What we have is what political scientists call  elective oligarchy, a political system whereby the electorate is offered a choice ever few years between competing parts of a society’s elite.

Islam is simply incompatible with liberal democracy

Baroness Warsi’s attempt to portray Britain as a nation of Islamophobes* raises an interesting question: is it unreasonable to be an Islamophobe or is it simple self-defence? To be afraid of a genuine danger is not bigotry.   The problem with Islam is that the Koran itself is incompatible with our society, a fact that is made double difficult [...]

Out of Africa? – Races are more different than previously thought

This is the cover story on the February edition of American Renaissance vol 22.2 Some interesting new research appeared too late to be included in the article.

“Free markets” and “free trade” as a religion

Free marketeers fancy themselves to be rational, calculating beasts. In reality, their adoration of the market is essentially religious.
