US conservatism vs Southern nationalism


US conservatism vs Southern nationalism

A point which is not made often enough is that Southern nationalists are not just US conservatives who believe in States’ rights and live in the South. Once this is understood, things start to fall in place. Those who professor Alexander Dugin calls ‘status quo conservatives’ are distinct from our tradition. We may agree with them on some things. We may win them over to our positions some times. But we are quite distinct. Note how Dugin perfectly describes US conservatism in his first English-language book, The Fourth Political Theory: ‘It is liberal because it says “yes” to the main trend that is realised in modernity. But at each stage of this trend it attempts to step on the brakes: “Let’s go slower, let’s not do that now, let’s postpone that.”‘

In an age like this, conservatism offers us nothing of substance because it lacks ideas and solutions to the problems we face. It merely defends the status quo of liberal hegemony or, at its most revolutionary, wishes to bring back a supposed golden age under Ronald Reagan (who gave amnesty to three million illegal immigrants and made MLK Day a Federal holiday) or George W Bush (who strongly supported Third World immigration and imposed anti-Southern legislation upon us).
As we continue to point out as Southern nationalists, the status quo is literally destroying us; it is replacing us and our culture.Survival requires something different than just conserving the status quo.
Southern nationalists ≠ US conservatives.
