WithUlrich Schacht [de], Schwilk co-edited the anthologyDie selbstbewusste Nation [de] (1994), which was received as something of a manifesto from theNeue Rechte, of which Schwilk can be regarded as one of the more mainstream-integrated members.Roger Woods writes that Schwilk's political views are visible in his journalism, where he "writes about the decline of bourgeois society into selfishness and chaos, and the possible renaissance of a society based on notions of honour, duty and sacrifice".[1]
