Pagan Philosopher Evola Denounced by the Axis Powers

“Evola argued in Pagan Imperialism that Fascism was consistent with Roman traditions, but not with Christianity. The book caused a lively debate. With the Concordat of 1929, the Vatican recognized the legitimacy of the Italian state for the first time since 1870 and Catholicism was publicly recognized as the official religion of Italy. The debate ended and Bottai (Minister of National Education in Fascist Italy) cut ties with Evola.”

— Editor’s Forward to Evola’s Notes on the Third Reich

“Since Evola is also only tolerated and barely supported by Fascism, it is tactically not necessary to accommodate his tendencies from our side.”

— Official SS report on Evola

“Himmler has acknowledged the report regarding the lectures of Baron Evola and is in full agreement with the thoughts and recommendations stated in the last paragraph thereof, which recommended ignoring Evola and discouraging his influence in Germany.”

— Official SS memo, dated 8 August 1938

“The NSDAP is a party of pure Christianity-of-the-deed, for which the true Christian conviction of the Führer Adolf Hitler stands as a guarantee.”

— Fr. Lorenz Pieper, Catholic priest and member of the NSDAP as early as the 1920s

“Our religion is Christ, our politics is Fatherland!”

— Slogan by Hans Schemm of the NSDAP

The New Europe: A Liberated Organism

A text that detailed the post war economic system of Europe had the Axis Powers won WW2. In summary, the fascist voices of Europe advocated for a continental economic system based on the idea of a "united European Civilization". Each member nation would maintain its ethnic autonomy while engaging in a system of cooperation and free exchange based on a super-corporatist model.

The modern European Union is actually heavily inspired by this plan. The key difference lies only in its operational principles and its teleological ends. Nevertheless, its structure and form bears an uncanny resemblance.

One could perhaps best summerize the difference between this version and the EU as a matter of worldview where one is illeberal and the other is liberal.

The German State on a National and Socialist Foundation
by Gottfried Feder

One of a series of three books by the important German campaigner against parasitic debt-finance-capitalism. It was Feder who gave opposition to debt-finance and a demand for a new banking system a technical foundation without which the National Socialist economic and financial policies might not have gone beyond a vague enmity towards capitalism because of its identification with Jews. It was left to the National Socialist group to see in Feder's ideas the means of achieving both freedom from debt-bondage and the means by which the state could assume its prime duty to issue the community's own credit limited only by its productivity and creativity. His ideas provided the basis for Germany's socio-economic revival while the rest of the world wallowed in Depression. Feder deserves an honoured place amongst the early fighters against usury-capital, a subject which continues to be, perhaps more than ever, of vital relevance to the world.

Anti-Christian Writings Banned in the Third Reich

Books that “ridicule, belittle or besmirch” Christianity and “faith in God” were banned from libraries in National Socialist Germany.

The NSDAP's ‘Blacklist for Public Libraries and Commercial Lending Libraries’ included the following:

“The following publications must be removed from public and commercial lending libraries: ... c) All writings that ridicule, belittle or besmirch the Christian religion and institutions, faith in God, or other things that are holy to the healthy sentiments of the Volk.”

Hitler on Christianity and Family

“The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.”

to the German people as Reich
Chancellor, February 1, 1933

Hitler: "Never Again"

"Hitler said, 'There are only germans and no party,' -- What he did and what he had built was done for his people, not for himself -- His mission was to raise the german people up to the highest idea -- His main concern was that he wanted to ensure that nothing would ever befall his people again, he took it upon himself, and he said, 'never again'."

They Gave Us Modernism:
A Response to Megha Liliwhite's
"What we Owe the West"
by The Fascifist

On June 5, 2023, Megha Liliwhite published an article titled "What We Owe to the West". Usually I feel no need to respond to classical liberals when they attempt to repackage their worldview as antithetical to progressive liberalism and try to pass off the root cause of Modernity as some kind of spiritually kindred relative of the various traditional schools of thought. This time, however, I felt the need to write a response article.

It is not necessary for you to read her original article if you have not yet done so as the second portion of my response directly quotes almost every passage in her original article and responds to each passage one at a time.

MAY HEAVEN BE OUR WITNESS

"The German nation will never revive unless the racial problem is taken into account and dealt with. The racial problem furnishes the key not only to the understanding of human history but also to the understanding of every kind of human culture."

~ Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

"I have always liked to mix the contradictory: Nation and Europe, Socialism and Aristocracy, Freedom of Thought and Authority, Mysticism and Anticlericalism."
