Jared Taylor reflects on decades of public activism. Though the future may appear dark, he argues that “the censors are failing” and that intelligent white activists are building their own communities and taking over existing institutions. The system is dying even as it lashes out viciously. Mr. Taylor concludes with gratitude for AmRen supporters who permit him to live a life of purpose: “I have the daily joy of doing my duty.”

Flemish activist Dries Van Langenhove chronicles his achievements founding the influential youth movement Schild & Vrienden and becoming the youngest member of Belgian parliament. He says technological advances caught our rulers off guard and enable us to fight oppression. He reminds us that our ancestors faced far worse odds and far more dangerous enemies. He ends with a call to ensure that “the lands of our ancestors remain the lands of our descendants.”

Stephen McNallen draws on the theories of psychologist Carl Jung, who argued that distinct peoples and nations share a collective unconscious that can be dominated by certain archetypes. Wotan has two key characteristics: fury and wisdom. Fury led to the fratricidal tragedy of the Second World War and the even further degradation of Germany. Thus, wisdom will be the key in the new postwar era. Mr. McNallen argues that Ragnarök is upon us, but we need "runes rather than ruins" and "the mead of inspiration rather than a poison pill in the bunker." He calls us to "become more than what we are," and to "deserve life and deserve victory." "Wokeness is weakness," he says, "and weakness is death for the individual and the group."

James Edwards offers a long-term, insider perspective on the American Right. The white middle class is showing signs of life, he says, and politically correct conservatism is giving way to white identity politics. Once extreme ideas are now mainstream views in conservative circles. He argues that polarization will intensify, especially because of government persecution of President Trump. Forces are speeding towards collision and the masses are poised for revolutionary change.

Dr. Ricardo Duchesne attacks the idea that “Cultural Marxism” or another recent innovation is responsible for the decline of Western Civilization. Instead, what we face is arguably the endpoint of civilization as liberal pluralism reaches its logical conclusion. Though the Founding Fathers and others took white racial identity for granted, Dr. Duchesne says the principles they espoused made it logically difficult to oppose even the most radical egalitarianism. He concludes that white racial survival requires the development of a fourth political theory beyond liberalism, fascism, and communism.

Sam Dickson closes the 20th American Renaissance conference. He says we are fighting for the Western view of life against those who deliberately avoid reality. He argues that our opponents have a “religion that believes in defiance of reality, in defiance of the facts.” Mr. Dickson heaps scorn on the dishonesty and corruption of the American government but promised that reality will ultimately triumph. Facts and science are on our side. Our opponents “are on a collision course with reality” and cannot avoid disaster.
