Paleoconservatism, shortened to PaleoCon, is an authoritarian, right wing political philosophy and variety of conservatism started in the United States stressing WASP Christian ethics, nationalism, paternalism, regionalism, and traditionalism. It sometimes overlaps with the Old-Right, who were Conservatives who opposed the New Deal in the 30s and 40s.[1] Paleoconservatives also overlap with Paleolibertarians[2][3] and Right-Wing Populists.[4]

Economically, although Paleoconservatism supports Market Capitalism, they are also Protectionists, in favor of tariffs, and advocate for Economic Nationalism in different measures. Paleoconservatism opposes the interventionist foreign policies advocated for by Neoconservatives. They also support restrictions on immigration; decentralization; isolationism and a return to traditional conservative ideals relating to gender, culture, and society, including opposition for abortion, gay marriage and LGBTQ rights.[5][6] Paleoconservatives see neoconservatives as empire-builders and themselves as defenders of the republic.[7]

History

The terms Neoconservative and Paleoconservative were coined due to the divisions in American conservatism conserning the Vietnam war between the interventionists and the isolationists. Those in favor of the Vietnam War started being called "Neoconservatives" (Foreign Interventionists) while those who opposed this war started being called "Paleoconservatives" (Foreign Isolationist/Nationalists).[8][9][10]

Notable paleoconservatives include Pat Buchanan[11], Nicholas J. Fuentes, Paul Gottfried, John Doyle, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and Mel Bradford. Despite many misconceptions, Ronald Reagan was not a paleoconservative. He was an average Conservative politician.

Influence in other political ideologies

Alt-Right

The Alt-Right movement emerged from the Paleoconservatives, the younger generation of them, specifically. The movement was founded in 2010 by Nazi, former Paleoconservative and American white nationalist, Richard B. Spencer, who launched Alternative Right to express his personal ideals after working as an editor for a number of Paleoconservative outlets.[12] But the movement was not only influenced by Paleoconservatism, it also was inspired by the Dark Enlightenment, and the Nouvelle Droite.

Paleolibertarians

The Paleoconservatives also greatly inspired the Paleolibertarian movement. It was the result of a political strategy of Rothbard which was allying with Paleoconservative and Old-Right sectors trying to expand Libertarian ideals among them while also using this allience to appeal towards the Conservative populance of the US. This alliance was criticized by some mainstream Libertarianism and also some non-Libertarian circles as trying to ally with racist and social reactionary groups, to which Rothbard responded saying that Libertarians needed to make themselves look more acceptable to Conservatives.

Many Libertarians such as Lew Rockwell,[13] being the main among them, but also others such as Jeffrey Tucker, started identifying with the term. The alliance ultimately broke up after Rothbard, who was the only tie Paleoconservatives and Libertarians had, died in the year 1995. Lew Rockwell, on the other hand, kept identified with the term until 2007 when he declared to have dropped the usage of said term in part because people confused it with Paleoconservatism[14] (That is, the term didn't have its own identity), and because Rockwell realized that the Paleoconservative movement tended to decrease freedom, not increase it.[15]
