Leonid Savin, Fellow of the Centre of Conservative Research at Moscow State University, argues for the renunciation of (neo)Liberalism, and the revision of old political categories. He argues we should develop a new political ideology - The Fourth Political Theory - agreeing with Alain de Benoist, The French philosopher, for being right in remarking that the positive reconsideration of collective identity is necessary; for our foe is not “the other”, but an ideology which destroys all identities. Leonid sees the need for a Fourth Wave of globalisation: the re-establishment of (every) People with eternal values.

Classicist KENNETH ROYCE MOORE delves into one of the oldest and most important ingredients of Western civilisation. Spartan tradition, both real and idealised, had a profound influence on such notable philosophers as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Diogenes the Cynic, Zeno of Cyttium and others [EDITOR’S NOTE: Zeno of Cyttium (c 340-265 BC) was the founder of Stoicism].

Ludwig James writes about Britain's damanaged Institutions. 'This malevolent Ideology promoted by our institutions is influential but it is not unstoppable, and there’s no better time to undermine it than in an economic crisis. The middle-classes camped outside Saint Paul’s Cathedral are rudderless, mild, and without conviction. They know international financiers and casino-capitalists have ripped them off, but they just don’t know what to believe in anymore because everything that really matters has been traduced by the leftist-liberals who run our institutions.
