Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978) is an American. He is president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think-tank, and Washington Summit Publishers, an independent publishing firm. Spencer has stated that he rejects the description of white supremacist, and describes himself as an identitarian.

Early life

Richard Spencer was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Dallas, Texas. His father is an ophtalmologist while his mother erected a building in Whitefish, Montana.

Spencer graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas. In 2001, he received a B.A. from the University of Virginia and, in 2003, an M.A. from the University of Chicago. He was later a doctoral student at Duke University, before leaving to pursue a career in journalism.

Career

Spencer became an assistant editor at The American Conservative magazine in 2007; subsequently he was the executive editor of Taki's Magazine. In 2010, he founded Alternative Right, a website that he edited until 2012. Spencer has been published at Right Now!, American Renaissance, VDARE, The Occidental Observer, and others.

In 2012, Spencer founded Radix Journal as a biannual publication of Washington Summit Publishers. Contributors have included Kevin B. MacDonald, Alex Kurtagic, Samuel T. Francis, and Derek Turner. He also hosts a weekly podcast, Vanguard Radio (a successor to AltRight Radio).

Groups and events Spencer has spoken to include the Property and Freedom Society, National Policy Institute, and the HL Mencken Club.

Views

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Spencer advocates for a white homeland for a "dispossessed white race" and calls for "peaceful ethnic cleansing" to halt the "deconstruction" of European culture.

The Anti-Defamation League cited him in 2013 as "a leader in white supremacist circles", and says that since his time at The American Conservative, he has rejected conservatism, because according to Spencer, its adherents "can't or won't represent explicitly white interests". In a 2016 interview for Time, Spencer said that he rejected white supremacy and slavery of nonwhites, preferring to establish a white ethnostate.

Greg Johnson, then-editor of The Occidental Quarterly, stressed how Spencer's concept of the "Alternative Right" was to collect a variety of perspectives that are outside the purview of the American Conservative movement:

will attract the brightest 'young' conservatives and libertarians and expose them to far broader intellectual horizons, including race realism, White Nationalism, the European New Right, the Conservative Revolution, Traditionalism, neo-paganism, agrarianism, Third Positionism, anti-feminism, and right-wing anti-capitalists, ecologists, bioregionalists, and small-is-beautiful types.

According to a 2010 article by Alex Knepper on FrumForum.com, Spencer is an admirer of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Personal life

Spencer resides in Whitefish, Montana.
