Political Perennialism is an ongoing project. Its aim is to develop a comprehensive and systematic political theory grounded on and consistent with the Perennialist School of Philosophy, as represented by Guénon and Schuon.

"The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right names". This is a case in point. Appellating the AfD with terms like NS and White Supremacy is not only factually incorrect but serves to facilitate the entry of the aforementioned into the Overton window.

As a Christmas gift for you all, a festive fact, courtesy of Charles Upton. Santa Claus and Kalki share something in common other than their hyperborean origins: red and white heraldry.

I'm delighted to announce that my an essay of mine has been published in "Sacred Web":

Why Is Amida Male?
An explanation of male-female symbolism in Shin Buddhism illustrates the dangers of viewing traditional symbols in religion through the lens of gender politics.

I've just learned that the late Prof. James Cutsinger majored in politics during his undergrad. Does anyone know if he ever wrote anything on the subject of politics?

It is a crime that if I say "post-Soviet Traditionalist interpreter of Plato" most people will think of Dugin and not of Algis Uždavinys.

Obviously, this person doesn't share my perspective on the plurality of salvific faiths. Additionally, I wouldn't dismiss Evola's racism as a triviality. That said, there is some very valuable criticism of Evola here:

If as a religious person you support a political doctrine which is fully justifiable and comprehensible from a secular perspective, then you should re-evaluate your politics – they are not in keeping with your religiosity.

I'm looking for Perennialist writing on the theme of the avatar of the Absolute, or the personal Absolute, making a sacrifice/pledge to a higher aspect of the Absolute. So I'd like to know if any Traditionalist writers have explored this theme across Traditions?

Contrary to its constant claims, the CCP does not represent a civilization with 5, 000 years of history but merely a culture with a paltry history of 76 years, or 114 at the most: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jCq...

About a decade ago, Nick Land moved to China in part because he believed the CCP was more likely to realize the AI Antichrist he serves. That China chose to name these T-800, after the villain of The Terminator speaks volumes:

In the past change was slow, we would learn from our elders how things are. As things change faster than we can keep up with, we only learn how things were. When the rate of change eventually outstrips our ability to keep up, we will be denied the ability to ever come to maturity
