DR. RICARDO DUCHESNE: If American Whites don't regain this capacity for pride, loyalty, and honor about their ancestors -- they are doomed to disappear.

Listen to Carl Schmitt, for Christ sakes!

DuckDuckGo's Search Assistant states that, 

Carl Schmitt wrote several influential books on political theory, legal theory, and political theology, including "Political Theology" and "The Concept of the Political." His works are known for their critical examination of liberal democracy and their controversial ties to Nazism.

Carl Schmitt, and his books. 

What makes something political for Carl Schmidt the answer is Stark and unsettling.  The political arises when human groups distinguish between friends and enemies and enemies this is not about personal hostility or mere disagreement it is about the existential possibility of conflict the kind that divides entire communities and may ultimately demand the willingness to kill or die.  Schmidt argues that politics is not defined by debates over policy values or resource distribution instead it is constituted by a fundamental division those who belong to us and those who oppose a threat the friend enemy distinction is not a metaphor it's a real decisive separation that gives politics it's Unique intensity crucially Schmidt views this distinction is existential it determines the survival of a group's way of life.  To identify an enemy is to declare that some other Collective threatens your identity your values or your continued existence the political then is the realm where this possibility of violent conflict is always present even if not always realized this is what sets Schmidt apart while liberal thinkers focus on consensus rights and deliberation he insists that the essence of politics lies in its intensity, in the ever present potential for US versus Them divisions that could erupt into war civil unrest or revolution whether we like it or not Schmidt claims all politics is ultimately grounded in this basic confrontation.

CRITIQUE OF LIBERALISM AND NEUTRALIZATION

Carl Schmidt believed that liberalism misunderstands the nature of politics and in doing so leaves societies dangerously unprepared for real conflict at the heart of his critique is the idea of neutralization the liberal attempt to tame politics by reducing it to procedures or economic exchanges liberalism Schmidt argues treats politics As a matter of rational compromise.  It assumes that disagreements can be settled through discussion voting or legal adjudication in this view politics becomes administrative about regulation and governance not existential struggle but for sure vision is an illusion
