Traditional Aristocracy

It is a form of power based on the principles of courage, honor, high culture, intellectuality and superior moral values. Something similar to what Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Xenophon and Spartans defined.

Among its main concepts are the fierce opposition to the centralized Modern State, the French Revolution and the consequent Liberal Bourgeois State, and its evils: Anarchism, Liberalism, Fascism, Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Nationalism, Modernism, Representative Democracy, Capitalism, Progressism, Totalitarianism, Humanism, Secular State, Statism, Positivism, anti-right-left dichotomy, mass media, consumerism, materialism, anti-system, anti-republican, feminism, human rights, technocracy, gay rights, ecumenism, ideologies, globalization, militant atheism and abortion. He is skeptical of science, technology, organized religions and economics.
"The main difference between a traditional and a conservative is that the former believes in transcendent values, while the latter preserves the values of the bourgeois revolution and its consequences. Therefore, one should not confuse Traditional Aristocracy with Conservative Oligarchy."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
