On one hand, interesting,

On the other hand, I'm unable to understand the logical steps from that to "and therefore white is the best race, patriarchy is a better system, the Enlightenment was misguided, we need a single dictator, let's bring back the Victorians and King Leopold"

That's because you're mistaking the other hand as logically following from the first one.

A political platform is about a preferred set of rules and institutions - you can logically get there in more than one way, and illogically get there too.
