Mall Project - Where Are The Right-Wing Writers

Where are the right-wing writers?

It's a common supposition on both left and right that everyone in the arts is a
liberal, lefty, communist, or fellow traveller; at most there's one or two
exceptions writing from a conservative position. Thus, Tony Kushner in Only
We Who Guard The Mystery Shall Be Unhappy has Laura Bush say:
The liberals may have nearly all the poets and painters and everybody
else but WE have Dostoevsky and he obliterates the whole
kitandkaboodle, we have Dostoevsky and so we win.
But is this the full story? For your consideration, I present the following.
From libertarians to upper-class high-church snobs, with a smattering of onenation tories, Nazi sympathisers, and the unprincipled rich, here's a list of
notable novelists, poets, and a few other literary types of a rightist persuasion.
1. Kingsley Amis - despite early socialism, he moved rightwards through
his life to become a curmudgeonly conservative
2. Martin Amis - in recent years has followed his father's path, with his
views on Islam condemned by many left-wingers; also anticommunist, writing books about Stalin

also convicted perjurer

conservative, opposing political correctness and multiculturalism
7. John Betjeman - a small-c conservative: an admirer of the English

Republican party

Latin American dictators, including Pinochet

Spain); turned against the Bloomsbury group after his wife had an

An interesting list. Wouldn't argue with the great majority of this,
though I would strongly contest Hunter S Thompson. While being
pro gun rights may often be seen as a "conservative" position in
America, Thompson's libertarianism was firmly of the left-anarchist
variety, as he frequently stated himself. The late Michael Foot made
a strong case for Swift being a radical in his way.
Others you could have had - Radclyfe Hall (despite her lesbianism
scandalising the establishment, a Tory and a Mussolini sympathiser)
John Braine (with Amis and Osborne, another "angry young man"
who turned sharply Right) and Samuel Coleridge (went Right with
his friend Worsworth.)
Note also, how a good few of the renegade writers:- Kingsley Amis,
Saul Bellow wrote their best work before the Right-turn.

No one has mentioned Nietzsche, Schopenhauer or Kierkegaard
among prominent right-leaning philosophers?
There was also a considerable Spanish literary right during the 20th
century: Ernesto Gimenez Caballero, Gerardo Diego, Azorin,
Dionisio Ridruejo, Vicente Risco, Luis Rosales, Manuel Machado,
Ramn Gmez de la Serna, Jos Mara Gironella, Dmaso Alonso,
Leopoldo Panero, Josep Pla, etc. Ramn Mara del Valle-Incln
during his early Carlist phase as well.
And Leopoldo Lugones over in Argentina.
Others that haven't been mentioned: Charlotte Bronte, Jules Verne,

Enrico Corradini, Giuseppe Prezzolini, Benedetto Croce (rightliberal), Jose Ortega y Gasset (right-liberal),
Graham Greene was also conservative during his early years as well,
when he wrote much of his best-known work, such as The Power
and the Glory.

Also worth noting that a number of great composers were rightleaning: Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Strauss, Stravinsky,
Schoenberg, Webern, Sibelius, etc.
In painting/architecture, there's also right-leaning titans like Degas,

Dali, Gaudi, Le Corbusier, Edward Hopper, Balthus, Emil Nolde.
Many talented Italian painters likewise cooperated with the Fascist
regime which patronized them: Sironi, Carr, Morandi, Balla,
Prampolini, Severini, Rho, Terragni, Depero, De Renzi, Maccari,
even De Chirico got along fine with the regime.

I think the topic is about writers, anyway, among the movie directors
there is a huge hole named David Lynch, while Blas de Otero was a
leftist, Richard Sheridan a whig (but today probably we would
consider the XVIII century whigs as moderate right-wing, because
they were for free-market and mostly against revolutionary ideas)
and Adriano Olivetti was an irregular thinker.
I add the Dutch poet Willem Bilderdijk,the spaniards Gustavo
Adolfo Bcquer, and Francisco Navarro Villoslada, the Romanian
Petre uea, Radu Gyr, Mircea Vulcanescu, Mihail Sebastian, the

Pio Baroja: Spanish Nietzschean who opposed democracy,
socialism, communism as well as Christianity. Also compiled an
antisemitic book entitled Comunistas, Judos y demas ralea
(Communists, Jews and other riff-raff).
Andre Gide: opposed socialism and sympathized with monarchism
and the Action Francaise during the WW1 decade. Briefly flirted
with Communism during the 1930s (which, unsurprisingly, gets
most of the attention from critics) but traveled to the USSR and
came back disillusioned. Published a book detailing the horrors of
the Soviet Union which lead him being attacked and isolated by the
left. Initially welcome the "discipline" brought by the Germans
during the Occupation but gradually drifted towards a muted
resistance.

Romania has a great tradition of right-wing writers, dramatists,
critics and poets - who often were political thinkers and activists too
-, not only during the period of the Iron Guard, but also in the XIX
end the early XX century. Just consider Ion Luca Caragiale, Mihai

the authors involved with the literary society "Junimea" and the

Akira Kurosawa was often considered a "reactionary" in Japan
during his time, but I don't know if he was comfortable with that
label. Some of his films do have a pronounced reactionary element
to them (Kagemusha).
David Lean was called the "consummate Tory director" by Andre
Bazin and was probably conservative in his personal life as well.
Andrzej Wajda's film Danton has clear counter-revolutionary
sentiments. He has also made a film about the Katy massacre. I'm
not sure what his personal politics are.
Reply

Kurosawa was a socialist in his youth but that might have waned by
his later years when he made Kagemusha.

Florent Schmitt, considered one of the greatest composers during his
lifetime, has seen his star wane since his death for his ardent support
of Fascism.
Many of the great conductors of that era -- Victor de Sabata, Herbert
von Karajan, Wilhelm Furtwngler, Willem Mengelberg -- were
likewise implicated to some extent through their Fascist or Nazi
connections. Same for the composers Hans Pfitzner, Carl Off, Geirr

Few know that Edgar Allan Poe was aristocratic in politics.
Charles A. Coulombe considers him as a "romantic conservative",
like Poe's friend Washington Irving.
The outstandind critic Van Wyck Brooks has written: << Poe
considered democracy a delusion and an evil. His writings were to
bristle with allusions to the rabble and the canaille, to
democracy as an admirable form of government for dogs, to
voting as meddling with public affairs and republican government
as rascally, while they also express contempt of the writer for
reform cranks and progress mongers. Poe had no faith, as he
often said, in human perfectibility or the general notions of equality,
progress and improvement. >> (quoted from Milton Meltzer, Edgar
Allan Poe: a Biography, Twenty-first Century Books, 2003, page
35).

Great effort, but let down by conforming with the nonsense that the
NSDAP or Italian fascists were of the right. They had socialist
programmes, were formed by socialists, described themselves by
socialists, implemented progressive obsessions of the preceding
decades and were actively supported by western socialists (as
opposed to the lesser of two evil support they got from some
conservatives as a bulwark against bolshevism).
Meanwhile, they were anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, anticlerical, anti-individual and pro collectivism. They fought sectarian
wars with other leftists for the same audience (Hitler explicitly says
as much).
These movements used race and nation rather than class as the
means for establishing the them and us dynamic upon which applied
socialism always depends - that is their only novelty and departure.
Finally, today's democratic left wing programme owes far more to
Mussolini than Lenin (say).
Reply

Looks like we have an Ameritard in the last comment. You might
want to read some of the names above so that you'll realize that
many right-wingers prior to WWII were anti-capitalist and antiindividualist, capitalism and individualism being key elements of
classical liberalism, which they opposed in addition to the radical
left. There are right-wing forms of socialism which have little to do
with Marxist socialism, and fascism fits within the former tradition.
And many European conservatives did enthusiastically support
fascist regimes.
Reply

Not american; read your own comment without prejudice. What you
are described are strands of left wing thought. Try and find a pre
WW2 designation of Italian fascism as right wing.
What are right wing forms of socialism? What defines them as right
wing? You are putting your emphasis in the wrong place. Any
definition that puts fascism on the far right puts Rand, Freidman,
Hayek, Von Mises on the far left. Does that make sense? I think not.
Fascism was an evolution of radical socialism evolved by radical
socialists, a formally nationalist version distinguished from formally
internationalist but in practice often highly nationalist rivals. It's
developments around a corporatist model have bequeathed more to
today's centre left than Marxim Leninism has.
The intellectual somersaults required to put fascism on the left are so
improbable they could surely only happen in the context they do;
sectarian argument.

Oriani, Giuseppe Bottai, Charles Maurras, Maurice Barres, Arthur
Moeller van den Bruck, Oswald Spengler, and Othmar Spann among
others if you want to find out what right-wing forms of socialism
look like. Nor was this a unique development. The European right
has traditionally been hostile to capitalism. You might want to check
out what right-wingers like Louis de Bonald, Antoine de Rivarol,
Adam Mller, Frdric le Play, Albert de Mun, Ren de La Tour du
Pin, Ramiro de Maeztu, among many others, had to say about your
precious capitalism. All of these people were considered on the right
during their lifetimes. You don't have a fucking clue.

Also worth pointing out that von Mises, Hayek, and Friedman all
openly identified themselves as *classical liberals*. Odd examples
of right-wingers. Classical liberalism might pass for the "right" in

A worthy addition to your interesting list would be: Henry
Williamson, author of the prize-winning classic Tarka the Otter - a
Fascist, supporter of Hitler and member of Sir Oswald Mosley's
British Union of Fascists before the war.

I love this site...probably not for the reason it was created, but
nevertheless it helped me a lot. I was looking for some authors that
do not include their liberal/progressive/communist propaganda in
their writing and now I have a place to start.
I don't agree with the name-calling and downright idiotic blurbs, but
if the lefties hate them, those are the ones I'm going to read. Thanks!

All of those associated with fascist sympathies above were stringent
anti-capitalists. Fascism was a socialist ideology with only minimal
free market pretensions. Ezra Pound was a classic example of this.
But it is indeed true that Left Wing poetry is only in the ascendency
now because of Left monopoly of the industry and its consequent
nepotistic bias and agenda of antimeritocracy and affirmative action.
Most Left Wing poets are terrible. They pretty much always have
been.
Frank Herbert belongs on the list as well, and Robert Heinlein if noone's mentioned him. Both were non socialist libertarians.

A note about Leszek Kolakowski and Andrzej Wajda from Poland.
They are anti-communist but definitely not right-wingers. They are
social-liberals or liberal left although Kolakowski has great respect
for Christianity.

If living in the modern age, Dante Alighieri and William
Shakespeare would belong here. Shakespeare was a royalist, and
Dante opposed the conjunction of church and state on grounds that
modern social theorists would consider anti-collectivist. His
religious models were surprisingly libertarian. I think it was
Augustine who said that 'sin committed in the name of learning
about morality is not a sin.' Something like that anyway. In other
words, morality is worthless if people only act according to the
mandates of the State.
Reply

Actually, in emendation of the latter point, it was Thomas Aquinas
who said that, though I don't remember the exact point, who aside
from that made such points as, "Man cannot live without joy;
therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary
that he become addicted to carnal pleasures", and also "Because of
the diverse conditions of humans, it happens that some acts are
virtuous to some people, as appropriate and suitable to them, while
the same acts are immoral for others, as inappropriate to them" and
made other arguments in favour of artistic meritocracy. In other
words genuine liberalism has never been a product of statist antidemocracies, and a number of people believed now to have been
Left leaning on account of the false equation of the Left with
liberality have actually been centrists or centre Right.
