Very interesting piece. Like a lot of people, I came to appreciate JB from videos of him, my favourite being his 10/10 taboo talk on Revisionism. But what’s apparent from your research, is the threat that JB poses, or rather his ideas and politics, to leftists like Merrick even from the man’s grave. Merrick must read your piece be it on Substack, email, morse code, or smoke signals. Well done sir.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’d like to point out that the underpinnings of most of Bowden’s ideas are directly from Nietzsche and Evola, which some of his critics on the right have dismissed him for, even though he never claimed otherwise. But his strengths lay in his ability to deliver those ideas in such an impassioned, evocative, entertaining way, and to relate them to our modern times, especially culture and art, a too-often neglected aspect of right wing thought.
