Troy Southgate Jul 30, 2025 OVER the last two years the Zionist terror machine has systematically murdered tens of thousands of Palestinians, with many women and children having being blown to smithereens or had their bodies crushed by falling masonry. The bandit-state of Israel has deliberately been shelling […]

Troy Southgate Jul 29, 2025 MY wife presented me with a beautiful copy of Ruth Dangelmaier’s work on Italian Renaissance Painting and it has since become a real favourite of mine. I am particularly taken with these images from Lucca Signorelli’s early sixteenth-century work, The Damned, which depicts […]
Troy Southgate Jul 23, 2025 WE are constantly informed that the governments of Russia and Ukraine are bitter enemies and yet, somehow, right in the middle of what has been one of the strangest conflicts in history the United Nations – i.e. American imperialism in fancy dress – […]

Troy Southgate Jul 04, 2025 AFTER working on this album for so many years with my great friends and collaborators, Mich Sovijarvi-Spape and Miklós Hoffer, I am so happy to finally see it in the flesh and to be able to share the music with those of you […]
Troy Southgate Jun 29, 2025 I HAVE always found it strange that some Anarchists wish to do away with all forms of power. Resisting authoritarianism is one thing, of course, and it must never be left unchecked, but I believe that power should be used constructively. Not from […]
Troy Southgate Jun 26, 2025 FOR some of us, the world is becoming a very alienating and surreal place. I find it absolutely breathtaking that untold millions of people around the world lack all sense of judgement and take these infantile excretions seriously, actually believing that a US […]
Troy Southgate Jun 27, 2025 DURING one of our National-Anarchist Movement (N-AM) conferences, two dozen of us sat round to discuss ways of taking the Movement forward and one thing we strongly agreed on was the need to reach out to people outside of Europe and North America. […]
Troy Southgate Jun 25, 2025 GIVEN the prevalence of materialism in the modern world, it is not too unusual to stumble across examples of ruling class triumphalism, particularly when it involves imperial conquest or vastly accumulated wealth. However, it takes a far more arrogant and condescending form when […]
Troy Southgate Jun 23, 2025 ORGANIC, holistic, natural… there are various ways to describe National-Anarchism, but somebody in one of our forums once used the term ‘non-reactionary conservatism’ and this is correct in the sense that we are the ultimate conformists. What I mean by this, is that […]
Troy Southgate Jun 22, 2025 THERE was an intriguing conversation between the first modern Anarchist, William Godwin (1756-1836), and the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). Having met for dinner, on 16th December 1794, the men entered into a discussion about Unitarianism and Godwin advanced the notion that […]
Troy Southgate Jun 18, 2025 SOME years ago I wrote a 300-page biography of Ruhollah Khomeini, as I wanted to present the political. social and economic aspects of Revolutionary Iran as I saw them during the 1970s and 1980s. With modern-day Tehran currently trading blows with the genocidal […]
Troy Southgate Jun 17, 2025 ONE contemporary scholar who has written extensively about the Kyoto School is Graham Parkes of University College Cork, including books dealing with the influence of both Nietzsche and Heidegger on Asian thought in general. However, one of his chief interests is the way […]

Troy Southgate Jun 14, 2025 ALTHOUGH I have great respect for the earliest waves of feminism, particularly within the context of industrial society and efforts to achieve equal rights in the workplace, the vicious misandry of third wave ‘feminism’ is both sexist and opportunist. I use the latter […]
Troy Southgate Jun 12, 2025 A FEW words about class and hierarchy. Nobody should ever have to define themselves in accordance with the prevailing class system. As a former member of the so-called ‘working’ or ‘lower’ classes, I would strongly advise others to do the same as I […]
Troy Southgate Jun 11, 2025 FERNANDO Pessoa’s rejection of certain human values reveals his great tendency towards amoralism, something we also find in Nietzsche. In fact the Portuguese even believes that our ‘superior’ animal intellect leads us to transform basic sensations into glorified idealisations in the sense that […]
Troy Southgate Jun 09, 2025 MANY writers have discussed how a sudden and unexpected event in one’s life can sometimes lead to a positive revitalisation of one’s energies. For George Gurdjieff it was an awakening, for T. E. Lawrence an absorption, for Jean-Paul Sartre an expression of freedom, […]
Troy Southgate May 31, 2025 I OFTEN find myself in agreement with David Graeber’s anthropological evaluation of “primitive” societies and how they operate, but his work nonetheless contains the occasional trace of what some would describe as “leftism” and therefore an inability to think beyond the existing parameters […]
Troy Southgate May 29, 2025 I AM not and have never been a fascist, just as I am not and have never been a communist. As an Anarchist who prefers to remain above and beyond the centennial fratricide practised by both sides, therefore, I would say that I […]

Troy Southgate May 25, 2025 IT remains incredible that so many people are incapable of understanding what lies at the root of the current Right-wing revival. Not the dullards of the mainstream, who will accept anything the controlled media tells them, but those on the Right itself who […]

Troy Southgate May 11, 2025 WHILST Niccolò Machiavelli’s work is chiefly aimed at those whom he hoped would become the future leaders and commanders of a European principality, Il Principe has since been used to justify all kinds of ideological and behavioural excess. Be it the unbridled greed […]
Troy Southgate May 10, 2025 TO some extent, Machiavelli’s concluding remarks are that of an Italian patriot, but given his belief that the ends justify the means it is doubtful whether he is capable of remaining loyal to anything. One of the first contentions in this final section, […]
Troy Southgate May 08, 2025 IT seems odd that a man, any man, would wish to resist fortune, but Machiavelli is referring to chance and not the kind of fortune that is ordinarily associated with good luck. Whilst accepting that a large number of people still believe in […]
Troy Southgate May 08, 2025 PROVIDING he is both wise and strong, the new prince that takes control of his territory will attract the support of his people. However, in this section Machiavelli decides to tackle those princes who have gone on to lose their principalities altogether: If […]
Troy Southgate May 07, 2025 THE fact that Machiavelli would prefer his prince to be surrounded by a coterie of willing sycophants, then leads to the problem of servants feeling confident enough to be open and honest with their master. Nobody, after all, wants to be shot on […]
Troy Southgate May 06, 2025 WHILST the conduct of the prince is crucial to his success, Machiavelli states that those around him must also be of a particularly high standard: When they are capable and faithful, he may always be considered wise because he has known how to […]
Troy Southgate May 05, 2025 THE section of ‘my’ Wikipedia page shown in the photograph above is constantly in the process of being added/removed/restored by editors who are keen to either (i) present my ideas in a fair and impartial manner, or (ii) portray me as a fascist […]
Troy Southgate May 05, 2025 THERE is more than a little irony to Machiavelli’s opening remark in this section and one can almost compare it to a fox who decides to start handing out survival tips to a group of chickens: Nothing makes a prince so famous as […]
Troy Southgate May 04, 2025 MACHIAVELLI’S attention is now drawn towards the defensive factors that a prince may or may not use to his advantage. The first of these concerns the arming of one’s subjects: There never was a new prince who has disarmed his subjects. Rather, when […]
Troy Southgate May 03, 2025 MACHIAVELLI has already covered this topic to a large extent, but now decides to elaborate upon some of his previous remarks in more depth. As we have already seen, he is of the opinion that a prince should take care not to attract […]
Troy Southgate May 02, 2025 ‘FAITH’ is clearly not a word that one would ordinarily associate with a man like Machiavelli, and it is here that the mask really begins to slip: Everyone admits how good it is in a prince to keep faith, and to live with […]

Troy Southgate May 01, 2025 KINDNESS, according to Machiavelli, is something that is preferable to cruelty but should not be given away cheaply. Ironically, however, he also says that a prince should never be afraid of appearing cruel before his subjects. This was certainly true of Machiavelli’s hero, […]
Troy Southgate Apr 22, 2025 IN addition to his previous thoughts on how a prince might rise to the fore as a result of good fortune or innate skill, Machiavelli suggests that there are two further methods by which this process might come about. One is through wickedness, […]
Troy Southgate Apr 13, 2025 CURIOUSLY, discussion of Anti-Machiavel is often omitted from those works dealing with the life and times of Frederick the Great and many of his biographers prefer to dwell upon his family background and various military campaigns. The same holds true for many of […]
Troy Southgate Apr 12, 2025 THE famous Hohenzollern dynasty, from which Frederick II was descended, had begun in Swabia, but its most famous son and longest-reigning monarch was born in Berlin on January 24th, 1712. His parents were King Frederick Wilhelm I (1688-1740) and the Queen Consort, Sophia […]
Troy Southgate Apr 13, 2025 I DON’T like to say ‘I told you so,’ particularly when innocent people have died so needlessly, but I did predict that eastern Ukraine would be handed over to Moscow at the very beginning of the invasion and this is becoming a reality. […]
Troy Southgate Apr 13, 2025 MOST people still assume that their respective countries are independent of one another, even if the world has long been divided into vast capitalist trading blocs that render all borders and boundaries superfluous. This illusion is rigorously maintained and reinforced by the purveyors […]
Troy Southgate Apr 11, 2025 I WAS casting my mind back to 2017, when an American diplomat suggested that Ivanka Trump’s distress over alleged gas attacks in Syria had ‘significant influence’ on US airstrikes. Professional nutcase, Alex Jones, on the other hand, had adopted a similar approach and […]
Troy Southgate Apr 11, 2025 MACHIAVELLI’S Il Principe was written in 1513, after its author had been removed from his important diplomatic role with the Florentine bureaucracy and then returned to his secluded farmhouse. In 1532, when the book first appeared in printed form, five years after his […]
Troy Southgate Apr 10, 2025 Introduction The name Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) has become a popular euphemism for deceit, ruthlessness and manipulation. As a politician, diplomat and philosopher, Machiavelli spent his twilight years producing what eventually became one of the Renaissance period’s most notorious and reviled tracts. First published […]
