I'm more along the lines of NazLib. I'm a communitarian and a utilitarian, I'm pretty much all for free-trade and non-interventionism. National libertarianism? Mmm, yes, and also somewhat communitarian without the Republican aspects (I mean republican theory, not party). I suppose I'd say I'm an authoritarian free-market anti-capitalist and cultural traditionalist.
I hate democracy, and egalitarianism, and internationalism.I'm not a Proudhonian. Somewhat I like his federal concept and his cultural conservatism. But in terms of economic theory I tend directly toward classical liberalism and its scions in economics. John Stuart Mill, Adam Smith, Destutt du Tracy. I like the French economists a lot. Turgot and Condercet. Jean-Baptiste Say. I read a lot of that old French stuff, it's so easy to find online. That's really where I learned about the French Revolution, they never really talk about it in school. I find myself in sympathy with various elements of the revolution and detesting other bits.

'Democracy: the God that Failed' by Hans Hoppe is a recent-ish book that might interest you (if you don't know it already). The author is a pro-free trade economist who uses economic ideas to attack democracy compared to monarcy, but also discuss that's shortcomings and promote a kind of 'national liberatianism', so to speak. Also has an anti-immigration and equality slant. I imagine the author's views are quite similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteHe also gives a useful little talk on Economy in Germany's NS era : http://mises.org/media/1570
'authoriatian free-market anti-capitalist' really does sound like quite a jumble of contradictions though (-;
