Constantin von Hoffenmeister
Constantin von Hoffenmeister is a German-language writer and translator active in the European New Right and red-brown online discourse — known for essays and translations connecting continental conservative-revolutionary thought (Spengler, Moeller van den Bruck, Niekisch) with contemporary multipolar politics.
Themes
- The conservative-revolutionary heritage of Weimar Germany — especially the National Bolshevik wing (Ernst Niekisch, Karl Otto Paetel) which fused anti-Western nationalism with social revolution.
- Anti-Americanism and the "Westlessness" (Abendland-critique) discourse; sympathy toward Russian and Chinese civilizational states against Atlantic liberalism.
- Translation work bringing German right-wing theory into English circulation.
Relation to Infrared
Von Hoffenmeister belongs to the milieu Infrared engages critically: shared anti-liberalism and anti-imperialism, contested class content. The National Bolshevik precedent he draws on is precisely the historical experiment Infrared must distinguish itself from — patriotism fused to socialism without the racialism and putschism that discredited NB (see Nazi-Maoism, European New Right, Strasserism).
