Honorable Mentions:

Empedocles (Darwinian Reactionary): The Biosemantics of Self-Representation (Part 2). This is an overview of the various ways we communicate without language, including a few “pushmi-pullyus” plus an extended remarks on the meanings of clothing.

Alrenous: Monetary Supply Fundamentals. A helpful primer on reactionary economics and the hidden social pathologies engendered by the suppression of interest rates.

Thomas Barghest: Possibilities Of Intransigence. A review and respectful critique of the ideas of 20th Century liberal (anti-communist, anti-libertarian) economist Albert O. Hirschman. As is his wont, Barghest covers a lot of ground here.

Evolutionist X: (three-part series) New Frontiers of the Bronze Age Collapse (Part 1), (Part 2), and (Part 3). Picking up with the recent and surprising archeological discovery of a massive organized battle at Tollense in Northern Germany, Evolutionist X takes us through history and potential causes of remarkable, nearly simultaneous collapses of many bronze age civilizations around 1200 BC.

Bonald: Free speech cannot be given. A formalist masterpiece. Leftists demanded free speech and got it. They are under no moral obligation to give it to others. Rights pertain properly to property. Leftists owns the institutions and may loose or bind whatever speakers in their “parlors” they wish.

Delta Kyklos: Types of Destruction. A profound meditation on the impending destruction of Western peoples and straight thinking about whether this is best characterized as genocide, or suicide.

… And the Winner Is:

Ryan Landry: Unrestricted Warfare, If You Can Fund It. Landry is back in the top spot with this flawless exposé on the changing nature of war and sovereignty. This seminal contribution to neoreactionary political theory spawned much conversation throughout the Reactosphere^® this week.
