Baseball Crank is worried about the revival of small-r republicanism on the Right.
“An old idea idea is back in fashion on the American right: small-r republicanism. Its revival may be a healthy thing with deep American roots, but adopting it as a ruling ethos also presents dangers to important conservative values.
There are four basic pillars of the American way: Our system is democratic because the government answers to the people, republican because we have no king, liberal because we recognize civil and economic liberty, and constitutional because the rules are written down and bind the government. One can add to that list the three key and interrelated structural features of American governance: It is federal, dividing power vertically between different levels of government; it is separated, dividing power horizontally between different branches of government with distinct functions; and it is deliberative, because the vertical and horizontal divisions and the existence of a written constitution combine to make it difficult to produce abrupt and sweeping change.
Among all of these values, republicanism may sound the least relevant to today, when monarchy is out of fashion in most of the world, and scarcely anybody in the Western world still professes faith in the underlying assumption that governing power is divinely ordained to be handed down by hereditary birthright rather than earned through some form of popular sovereignty or proven merit. But to early Americans, republicanism as an ideological concept meant something broader than “no more kings.” …”
For those who have been paying close attention, this has always been my position. The problem with the American experiment is specifically liberalism. It has gone haywire and crowded out every other aspect of American identity.
I support the White race. I support Anglo-Saxon culture. I’m an Anglo-Protestant Christian. I support republicanism. I believe in liberty which is self government by sovereign states. I don’t want to live under a fascist dictatorship with a centralized and consolidated government. I want to live under a free government with a Christian culture with racial and ethnic boundaries that anchor the government and keep it stable. I resent liberals for jettisoning those boundaries and thus deracinating our people, degenerating our culture and redistributing power from the states and local communities to unaccountable federal bureaucracies staffed by progressives.
Baseball Crank identifies with the Lincolnian tradition of conserving liberalism. He is a right liberal or conservative liberal from New York City. My ancestors were Confederates who fought to conserve the republican tradition of self government and states’ rights. They fought against the triumph of liberalism.
Every disaster that the Confederates predicted would spring from a centralized and consolidated national government in which 19th century liberalism would reign supreme under a “New Birth of Freedom” has come true and then some. We’re not saying anything new.

“We’re not saying anything new.”
Well, that much is true.
Christianity: the Jewish Trojan Horse designed to expedite the downfall of the Aryan Roman Empire & all subsequent white gentile nation-states.
Since its inception ‘western civilization’ has been infected with the virus of Jewish Christianity, which is the cause & source of its politico-economic & ethical-cultural domination by Jews & its corollary contamination & disintegration into egalitarianism, mongrelism & Communism.
If whites are stupid enough to believe in some Jew who taught ‘Salvation is from the Jews’ (John 4:22) then they will eventually cease to exist…
The Jewish Overlords will utilize whatever means (vaccines/war/drugs/wog migrants/geoengineering) to reduce/eliminate the white gentiles. In Ukraine Antifa Russia is employing guns, missiles, & bombs to exterminate Aryans & in the West they’re primarily using the Shipman shot, wog on white murders, drug overdoses & miscegenation to clear the way for their new brown/black replacement population…but hey, you didn’t want to believe in Hitler, Mosley, Rockwell or Colin Jordan, so this is the genocide you get…
Let’s get something straight?
*The Ukraine is the most Jewish government outside of Israel
*The Ukraine military is run by a people who call themselves “nazis” because they falsely
claim today’s Russians are communists.
*The jewish media in the West supports Ukraine war, and the so called neo-Nazi gang
because jews hate Russia
*The antiwhite US gov supports these fake Nazis
*Ukrainians are willing to fight and die in the name of jews
*Russia says that so called Nazis in the Ukraine, are, in fact, usually jews
@DiCarlo Agree. The constant push for more and more money to go to Ukraine. It must be the backdoor to Israel.
@DiCarlo
Perfect summary 10/10
“Russia says that so called Nazis in the Ukraine, are, in fact, usually jews”
Yes but for some reason some folk´s just don´t see it yet even if it´s right there
These “Nazis” are also anti-tradition pro faggot pro Amerca pro liberalism and pro NATO

Well said, Brad. Well said!
Why do no Southern Nationalists ever mention the Cornerstone Speech by CSA Vice-President Alexander Stephens?

The US was built on White nationalism and Anglo Saxon culture . You see what happens when those two are destroyed. You get 3rd world communism.
Hundreds of years from now China and Russia may still be around but the USA, a country built on a foundation of sand, will be long gone and largely forgotten.
Only because we were invaded by another ethnicity and their homeland running us and our government. They were allowed to, by traitors within our nation.
Liberalism is the natural result of capitalist republicanism, though. You can’t have capitalist republicanism for very long before it introduces liberalism, since liberalism is naturally beneficial to the bourgeois oligarchy that forms and is empowered under capitalist republicanism. Bourgeois oligarchy wants anti-racism, open borders, feminism, etc. because all of those things empower the bourgeois oligarchy. Anti-liberal capitalist republicanism can only ever exist for short periods as an unstable equilibrium that will move towards liberalism.
The American experiment has failed.
Give me Orban, Franco, Pinochet, or the Greek Colonels.
At the very least I will settle for a ‘Revenge Tour’ Trump.
“The American experiment has failed.”
Anything will fail, if enough jwz are injected into it.
