Hayek: A Critique

I read this article on Hayek a few months ago in its French original and it’s the best critical analysis of laissez faire, free market capitalism and its principle European guru, Friedrich von Hayek, that I’ve ever read. Unrestrained, savage capitalism is ultimately destructive of all that traditionalists and conservatives pretend to cherish and value, so it’s ironic to usually see them championing what they should normally oppose with with all the strength at their disposal. Alain de Benoist’s piece is quite lengthy so you might want to print it out. Enjoy!

The “Club de l’Horloge” held its 5th annual meeting October 20-22 1989 in Nice, on “Liberalism at the People’s Service.” The general tone was “national liberal” conservative. According to the Club’s president, Henry de Lesquen, “there can be no authentic liberal society as long as the concept of man emerging from the Western, humanist and Christian tradition has not prevailed.”[1] The objective was to contrapose two liberal traditions: Locke’s vs. Hume’s and Burke’s, i.e., a “bad liberalism” leading to libertarian or anarcho-capitalist movements, and a “good liberalism” concerned with preserving tradition and thus reconcilable with a “nationalist” perspective. This politically opportunistic approach legitimates itself by appealing to a long gone author: Friedrich A. (von) Hayek. While the distinction[2] has recently been somewhat mitigated, “national liberalism” (or conservative liberalism) constantly reappears in the history of ideas.[3] A good way to approach this problem is to begin with Hayek’s works.

My conversation with Alex Linder here.

Alex Linder: Nah, Buchanan doesn’t believe his own bullshit, Paul does.

You’re being short-sighted. Paul believes in free association. If that were restored, and I’m not saying he could alone, even in office, it wouldn’t matter what he thought about White separatism. The stampede to form exclusive communities would make his opinions irrelevant. He’s not stuipid. I’m sure he realizes the practical effect of restoring free association.

In the meantime, he’s invaluable in showing the System for what it is, a rigged game bought by money, and that means jews. He’s carrying our water, whether he wants to or not. Every time he’s asked a loaded question by some mocking shill, our stock goes up.

Me: I’m always fascinated by White racialists who advocate libertarian solutions. I’m currently reading Cesare Santoro’s monograph: 4 Years of Hitler’s Germany, a very fair and objective account of Hitler’s miraculous (the term is not too strong) accomplishments. In one short passage Hitler encapsulates his opposition to a laissez-faire economy:

[My translation from German.]

“…the people [Volk] are not made for the economy, and the economy is not made for the capital, but it is the capital that has to serve the economy and the economy the people [Volk].

It’s also why I oppose the Austrian school of economics (and its High Priest Hayek). It worships the market as an end in itself. Laissez-faire economics (the most distinguishing aspect of libertarians) is destructive of everything that Traditionalists, conservatives (in the European sense and not the American Ann Coulter variety), and nationalists hold dear and want to preserve.

As an aside, Todd gave me negative rep points calling me a “liberal.” Now, I don’t mind getting negative rep points as long as I my position is understood. Todd, I’m philosophically as far from a liberal as it is humanly possible.

Very funny stuff. Deranged kikes like him produce more anti-Semites than all “neo-Nazi” web sites put together. Ron Paul an evil Nazi scum? lol If you’re not a hateful, fanatical Zionist terrorist, you’re a Nazi. That makes for a lot of Nazis. Speaking of Nazis, is that a picture of Meir Kahane in the background? If I weren’t an atheist I’d convert to Islam.
