Essay Contest
The Occidental Quarterly
Essay Competition
$1,000 prize
For an Essay on the Topic:
Libertarianism
&
Racial Nationalism
In terms of fundamental moral principles, libertarian individualism and racial nationalist collectivism could not be more opposed. Yet many racial nationalists are former libertarians. The purpose of this contest is to encourage the exploration of the connections between libertarianism and racial nationalism, including but not limited to: racial nationalist critiques of libertarian individualism, racial nationalist examinations of specific libertarian thinkers (such as Ayn Rand), accounts of awakenings from libertarianism to racial nationalism, and the question of whether libertarianism is a Jewish intellectual movement as defined by Kevin MacDonald in The Culture of Critique.
