Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics Paperback – January 1, 2012

One of the most influential, hardly known, books of the 20th Century that will be reflected on in the decades and centuries to come. Truly a magnificent sequel to Oswald Spenglers, "Decline of the West" if you've read it, and if you haven't a more defined, yet simplified version with solutions given the modern post WW2 state of the West that has forever changed things even to the point Spengler could never have fully imagined. If Spengler leaves you with hopelessness, which wasn't his intent, and a gigantic problem with no solutions, then Yockey will light a fire deep in your soul with a clear march to where we are headed.With his vast intellect and unique American witty humor while writing with violent passion you can see how Yockey lived no different than how he wrote in his short life. His incredible understanding of the world around him, before, and ahead of his time will have many looking back in a timeless manner as if the man was a mystic or prophet when compared to modern times, or even those yet to unfold 50 years from now. In reality it's his supreme perception for his time that's often lost to any given current era like it usually is among all the greats we later reflect on to recognize that they WERE GREATS in the first place.If you're struggling to make sense of the world around you, politically, socially, morally, ethically, economically, or even spiritually, then look no further. If recognize that true objectivity is impossible but strive for it nonetheless, and you are pure of intent to learn, truly learn, and see the truth in Yockey's language and ideas even if you don't fully support the personalized solution, then you will walk away a more enlightened individual. The final conclusion left me both energized and deeply saddened as you realize The West no longer produces such magnificent men like him anymore, but one day we will again and it'll be men like Yockey who will have led the way.

He starts off on another planet of thinking - to the point one wonders if they didn't somehow get tricked into reading some 'hippy metaphysical claptrap'.-Stick with it.He has to start that way so he can explain his views and predictions on the more familiar subjects that follow; and it REALLY picks up intellectual steam.The guy was a genius. Without a doubt.That's not to say I agree with everything, nor do I think he went about the best way of defining and explaining contemporary realities.And lets face it - the near 'conquering of the earth' by the globalists has at least delayed, if not smashed, some of his guesses. Take the 'materialists' shift to intersectionality, to keep the charade going, as an example.-With that said - he's so well read, you almost feel as if 'you can either read Imperium - or 100s of other books' just to end up where he did. The fact he was only 30 - blows the mind.-Truth seekers will get tons of new facts.Anti globalists types will have access to more great quotes than they know what to do with.-A goldmine of information.A juggernaut of knowledge.The REAL anti establishment Bible.

For people aligned upon our doctrine, this book is invaluable. A amazingly well put together piece with historical sourcing and an organic look to culture and history. These pages contain some extremely important messages and a underlying motivation for truth. Along with arguably being one of the first places to explain the U.S anti-Europeanism.Physically the book held up well, quality print and soft pages.

I’m not a German from mid 20th century Germany, but I am an American and this philosophy fits better to me than Mein Kampf.

Clear-headed and concise. Placing the individual squarely with the understanding that Philosophy, like government, must serve the individual, not the individual serving Philosophy or government. No dodging solid logic and pure reason. Awesome book!

I have just started reading and I’m hooked.

This book is definitely acedemically valuable and provides an interesting read, even if the author's views are rather appalling. I'd recommend it for anybody who has an interest in political philosophy and political history, or likes collecting works from various opposing writers.

Still working my way through at the moment, but facism as a whole is a fascinating subject. The current political landscape considered, I actually can't wait for some of the larger minds within the movement to inspire greater works still. If you're sick of the world as the way it is now and desire something better, pick this book up.
