Taki's Magazine, called Takimag for short, is an online magazine of politics and culture published by the Greek paleoconservative[1] journalist and socialite Taki Theodoracopulos and edited by his daughter Mandolyna Theodoracopulos. Initially called Taki's Top Drawer, the site was redesigned and relaunched under its current title in March 2008 with a subsequent redesign in 2010.[2] It received criticism in 2013 after it published articles in support of the Greek neo-Nazi political party Golden Dawn.[1][3][4][5]
History
Founded on 5 February 2007, the intent of the site, according to Theodoracopulos, was to "shake up the stodgy world of so-called 'conservative' opinion." Theodoracopulos said: "Takimag is a libertarian webzine. We believe the best stories are smart, cheeky, and culturally relevant. We take our politics like we take life—lightly."[6] It formerly had Richard Spencer as its managing editor;[5][7] his tenure played a key role in marshaling and naming what would eventually become the alt-right.[8][9][10] Indeed, Spencer first coined the term "alternative right" in a headline he devised for an article by Kevin DeAnna about the development of a new, less neo-conservative, more racialist politics emerging in the conservative movement. This term was later adopted and shortened to "alt-right".[11]
Taki's Top Drawer
The name Taki's Top Drawer also refers to a section which appeared in the New York Press. Edited by Theodoracopulos and Sam Schulman,[12] it featured Taki's regular newspaper column, as well as contributions from other notable paleoconservatives, such as Alexander Boot, and libertarians, including George Szamuely. Scott McConnell has also contributed, and the site carries syndicated columns by Pat Buchanan and Michelle Malkin.
