Mark Sedgwick has been examining the long-arc of right-wing intellectual thought and recently compiled a book
wity a group of other authors, entitled "Key Thinkers of the Radical Right".
Pushed along in the early 20th century by figures such as
Julius
Evola,
Ernst Juenger,
Carl Schmitt,
and (a co-opted) Oswald Spengler, and in the mid-20th century by ultra-right intellectuals such as
Dominique Venner,
Renard
Camus,
Alain de Benoist, and
Jean Raspail,
racist ideologies, such as
white-replacement
theory, have been motivating alt-right risings in
Europe and in the
United
States.
These days, the inheritors of this right-wing tradition perhaps have their strongest presence among the voices
of the so-called "intellectual dark web", and organized outfits such as the "Leadership Institute", "Conservapedia", and "Praeger
University".
