Entry: A Paleo Epitaph Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_paleo_epitaph#22961 Post contents: I suppose I am partly responsible for the mediocre sales figures since -- aside from a recent biography of Charles Maurras -- I have yet to read a book published this century. Then, while I was on Amazon reading the reviews, I noticed the 1943 edition of Burnham's "The Machiavellians" was available, so I nabbed that instead. The attachment to the Middle Ages is hardly "Romantic", just the opposite in fact. It is classical and intellectual, not emotional; I have discovered a marvelous proof of this which is impossible to fit in this little box. Conservatism is failing because it no longer has a worldview, despite Kirk's attempt to define one. A focus on isolated issues with alliances of convenience is not a viable strategy. Thus we look to the past, not nostalgically, not wistfully, not to advocate a return to it, but as guidance for the future ... what they call in the Nouvelle Droite "archeofuturism". It is the nature of democracy to devolve into formlessness and chaos. Only then will change occur. But will it be Catholic, Pagan, or some form of leftist tyranny?
