Right-Wing Discussion Thread VIII: McCarthy Was Right

[Antoura]

I'm all about the Boxer Rebellion. Their gongfu was strong.

It shall last forever in history, not so much in monuments commemorating their victory.

Victory is overrated.

Victory is overrated.

I suppose- it's best sought out by those who wish for power anyway.

What is right wing?

[Conserative Morality]

Is Bonapartism Right Wing? Was it Right Wing compared to the French Revolution?

Bonaparte was left-wing, Bonapartism is right-wing.

[Lady Scylla]

I fancy the May 16 Coup under Park Chung-hee. While controversial, South Korea's development during the regime is noteworthy I think.

Did you study Korean history?

Uh...I'm not sure about that.

Best revolution ever: Protestant Reformation.

[Individual Thought Patterns]

Best revolution ever: Protestant Reformation.

Yes.

[Gim]

Best revolution ever: Protestant Reformation.

Yes.

Because it did not contain physical harm.

[Conserative Morality]

Uh...I'm not sure about that.

Bonaparte always saw himself as an instrument of the French Revolution and its ideals. He was an enemy of les anciens regimes of Europe.

[Individual Thought Patterns]

Yes.

Because it did not contain physical harm.

Because it brought truth back to the church :^)

Anciens regimes, as in Louis XVII?

[Conserative Morality]

Anciens regimes, as in Louis XVII?

Er, as a matter of technicality?

Yes.

To the extent that they are a civilisation, British and American civilisation are barely distinguishable. Joint language, religion, school of philosophy - and the fact their political systems have a joint origin - are basically the foundations.

America and Britain are or were both English-speaking, Protestant, constitutionally democratic, thassalocracies with political, economic and social elites who share similar schools of thought.

America is nonconformist; Britain was Anglican. This is less obvious now. Before 1945 it was important and before 1914 it was very important.

The best right wing revolution is the British Restoration. It didn't involve much actual revolution - but that is partly the point, as revolutions are inherently left wing and usually disasters.

Industrial Revolution is pretty significant, too.

False. The Restoration was a Catholic coup and subversion of English liberty, propagated by the French and the Irish, eternal enemies of Britain. While Cromwell was smiling upon from heaven, William III of Orange carried out the Lord's work and finished what Cromwell intended.

Calvinism or bust.

I prefer Protestantism to Calvinism. Calvinism seems to be an austere version of Protestantism.

Calvinism built the modern world. Low church Episcopalians and Presbyterians put America on their backs and climbed the hill upon which to build the shining city, while our brethren in Britain and the Netherlands went about inventing capitalism.

You mean the Puritanism, not Calvinism? Calvinism happened only in Europe, am I wrong?

Puritans were Calvinists (more in line with the Dutch and Scottish kind than the Swiss kind).

The real question is though, shall we tolerate the Lutherans? They stabbed us in the back several times in the wars against Catholics.
