Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Arthur Schopenhauer)〔(Sunić articles ), theoccidentalobserver.net; accessed August 13, 2015.〕 The "European New Right," or Nouvelle Droite, is a name for various forms of conservative, right-wing, or dissident cultural movements and political groupings which emerged in opposition to the liberal and leftist academic milieu of the mid- to late-20th century. Critics have argued that de Benoist has developed a novel cultural fascism and have depicted the advocates of Sunić's school of thought as “literary fascists".〔Roger Griffin, (''The Nature of Fascism'' (1991) ), amazon.co.uk; accessed August 13, 2015.〕 Professor Kevin B. MacDonald, a now retired evolutionary psychologist at the California State University, Long Beach, a prominent far-right intellectual, who has been characterized as "The Marx of the Anti-Semites",〔("The Marx of the Anti-Semites" ), amconmag.com; accessed August 13, 2015.〕 wrote an introduction to Sunić's book ''(Homo Americanus )'', a book which deals extensively with the Judeo-Christian mindset and its secular modalities in the USA. The introduction claims MacDonald "addresses the modern world of hyper-liberalism, globalist capitalism and the crisis of our inherited Indo-European civilization". Sunić is critical of Judeo-Christian monotheism, to which he attributes the rise of communism and liberalism.〔(''Marx, Moses and the Pagans in the Secular City'' ) (CLIO) Vol. 24, No. 2, 1995 via highbeam.com; accessed August 13, 2015.〕 Sunić has been critical of post-World War II legislative changes in Europe, regarding "non-white" immigration and restrictions on freedom of speech.
