The Alt-right, or alternative right, is an emerging faction of the right-wing that opposes unrestrained multiculturalism, un-"skilled" immigration, and globalization. It is composed of a 20% inner core of anarcho-fascists (national anarchists) and an 80% outer core of anarcho-capitalists united by the principles of totalitarian democracy as defined by Israeli political scientist J. L. Talmon. The alt-right has emerged as the central opponent of neoliberalism, the laissez-faire economic theory that causes rapid social change through free trade and open borders. The alt-right movement's central theme,[1]


“ The alt-right is not defined by any particular school of thought, but by the school of thought it rejects. The alt-right, in the simplest terms, is an unapologetic purging of liberal idiocy. ”

"The origins of the alternative right can be found in thinkers as diverse as Oswald Spengler, Joseph Sobran, H.L Mencken, Julius Evola, Sam Francis, and the paleoconservative movement that rallied around the presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan. The French New Right also serve as a source of inspiration for many leaders of the alt-right." [2]. Contemporary alt-right authors include Jared Taylor, Steve Sailor, Richard Spencer, Paul Kersey, Razib Khan, and Milo Yiannopoulos.

The term "alt-right" came into being in November 2008 when Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the 'alternative right.' The term is commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right magazine. The alternatively right has alternatively been called "alternative libertarianism", "neo"-paleoconservatism, "evolutionary" conservatism, and national anarchism.

The alt-right employs an "emo fascist" approach to the Internet with the memes on 4chan, Reddit, Facebook, and 9gag.

"Anti-Semitism" and Israel

The alt-right proffers a critique of the Jewish "monotheistic" influence on European society; "anti-semitic" fringes of the alternative right posit monotheism as a segue to Marxism. The alt-right supports Israel as a place for Jews to live (separate from non-Jews). </ref>http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/domestic-extremism-terrorism/c/alt-right-a-primer-about-the.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/</ref>

Rejection of neoliberalism

The alternative right holds neoliberalism responsible for the decimation of national borders and national identity. It views the rise left-leaning governments as an effect of multicultural amalgamation caused by large business interests run amok. Extreme elements of the alt-right oppose Keynesian as well which, paradoxically, is the ideological opponent of neoliberalism.

Distinction from fascism

The alt-right seeks racial "identitarianism" through a largely monocultural state; and cultural cohesion over economic interests. The alt-right does not explicitly seek genocide of non-white races. It views national borders as a proxy for racial segregation, but does not support de facto racial segregation. Mainstream alt-righter members support skilled immigration.

"Alternative" libertarianism

The alt-right rejects the financial deregulation and open-borders aspect of libertarianism while accepting libertarianism's social components (marijauana legalization, gay rights, etc.). The alt-right has seen its membership ranks swell exponentially with authoritarian ex-libertarians. Ex-libertarian "identitarians" largely make up the non-antisemitic component of the alt-right and may make up up to 80% of all alt-righters.

View of Christianity

The alt-right emphasizes the crypto-polytheistic aspects of Christianity and links it to Greco-Roman and pan-European polytheistic history and "Western" accomplishments. The alt-right views Christianity as a religion distinct from Islam and Judaism in its polytheistic elements and "special" relationship to European history. The alt-right accepts the study of evolution and global warming as a product of Western polytheistic science. It rejects modern evangelical Christianity for its pro-immigration stance (for proselytization purposes) although it views Europe's history of colonization and Christian proselytization as having a positive effect on those respective colonial countries. Due to its pro-"Western science" views the alternative right has on occasion called itself "evolutionary" conservatism or "scientific" conservatism.

Alt-right publications

Alt-right publications include Radix Journal, Breitbart News, Countercurrents Publishing, The Unz Review, and Taki Mag.

Opposition

The movement is smeared by elitists of society that thinks it knows better. However, the usual liberal scare tactics and other social engineering schemes are rejected. The alt-right moves to its own beat. They are labelled "racist", alt-right claims to be "race aware". They are called anti-Semites, alt-right sees themselves as "Jew wise". They strike back against Jewish intellectuals, Jewish opinion-shapers and operatives promoting anti-white rhetoric, imagery and theories in the media. The alt-right hates Feminism, "Meninism" and masculinity is promoted. Anything liberal and the views held by RINOs: immigration, political correctness, white-guilt, cultural appropriation, misogyny, "homophobia", etc. are fiercely rejected.

Where the Establishment or modern conservatives shy away from a fight for fear of being called "racist", "bigoted" or "ignorant" by liberals projecting their own attitudes and beliefs onto them, the alt-right unapologetically fights against this notion.

Extremist leftwing progressives at the Southern Poverty Law Center have taken notice, recently commenting about Breitbart and their inclusion to the SPLC hate-list[3]


“ The outlet has undergone a noticeable shift toward embracing ideas on the extremist fringe of the conservative right. Racist ideas. Race-baiting ideas. Anti-Muslim and anti-Immigrant ideas –– all key tenants making up an emerging racist ideology known as the ‘Alt-Right.' ”

While the term has been used in specialized writing about politics and ideology for years, the term gain mainstream usage following a speech by Hillary Clinton attacking Donald Trump's connections to the Alt-Right.[4]
