National Socialism as Weltanschauung
"The works, that are being peddled about nowadays
as national socialist philosophy have nothing to do
with the inherent truth and greatness of this movement."
Martin Heidegger "What is metaphysics""I don't believe that philosophy taken in its narrow
theoretical meaning, is able to influence politics.
It has to be turned into ideology or universal vision
of the world. Such an example was given
by Enlightenment, Marxist dialectic materialism
and by certain philosophical ideas,
which were included in the concept
of German national socialism."
Julius Evola (excerpt from an interview)
Everyone has got own road to National Socialism. Personally, I was brought to it, no matter how paradoxically it may sound, with the help of philosophy. So as the place of chief philosopher in "the Soviet land " was traditionally given to Marx (Lenin no way can be mentioned as a philosopher -- one has to simply reach the hand and read one of the first edition of Lenin's "Philosophical letters ", its margins are filled with remarks which in 99 cases out of 100 read "shit"), and democracies have given the same role to Dr. Freud, the country of winning National Socialism praised Nietzsche as its chief philosopher. It was sufficient to me to get interested in that ideology.It should be noted, first of all, that from the beginning I has found that most of the studies devoted to National Socialism are extremely untrustworthy. This statement is especially valid in regard to so called "occult" origin of the nazism. Here is just one example. N. Goodrick-Clarke in his "The occult roots of Nazism" while mentioning Hitler's addiction to astrology makes reference to Ellic Howe's book: 'Urania's Children' , whereas it is proved just in the same book -- such an "addiction" was invented by journalists. After having read a huge amount of such "studies" - most of which can be called rubbish - I have come to conclusion that the discussion about "occult roots" of nazism is absolutely baseless. Although societies like Thule, Vriel and many similar did exist, and many leaders of Third Reich in fact were the members of such societies, I dare to claim that these societies hardly played an important role in the process of development of National Socialist ideology. Once, the Fuhrer has told about his movement: "The one who fails to see in the National Socialism nothing but the political movement has understood nothing about National Socialism, for its goal is the will to creation of a superior human". This excerpt is being cited by the scholars of "occult roots" continuously, though most of them are unable to realize that the enigma of National Socialism is connected with its emergence and not with some connections with secret societies.
It is practically impossible to understand the uniqueness of National Socialist vision (namely like universal vision and not just ideology) if one is limited to use only rational and logic thinking. This was even noticed by Pauwels and Bergier in their basically stupid book "Morning of the Magicians" when they write that nazism is practically incomprehensible for modern people brought up with ideals of the Enlightenment and humanism. Add to this that the prerequisite for understanding nazism is being partly a nazi. As Rosenberg put it, nazism can not be understood, one has to live it: "it is rather a state, an inner condition, than a philosophical system".
And, really, National Socialism as a special perception of surrounding world is only available with people that possess unique physical and psychical qualities, first of all, of spiritual character. That requires a special sense, which can be called "metaphysical" sense. As such I call the ability, first, to recognize an essential difference behind superficial similarity and deep similarity between two seemingly different substances. Second, the person must be able to find eternal and essential out of temporary and accidental.
People of today have practically lost that ability because of their utterly rationalized living, the residues of this ability is employed only in trivial situations. For example, we smell the rot and can not mistake it with blooming apple tree (by the way, it is told that even hypnosis can not influence our odour recognition). We have only to smell well enough to feel the modern world is rotten. However, if the smell is more or less functioning system, the sight seems to fail. For example, I still wonder at the existence of people who are tricky enough to state that Fascism and Bolshevism had something in common, labelling both the totalitarian societies. The difference between totalitarianism is evident, since Nazi era newsreels have nothing in common with Sovdepian kitsch a la Stalin (except for military newsreels). The ones who have eyes should see!
Yet, we have to return to the main topic. What is the deadlock for the most scholars of National Socialism? How such things could happen in ХХ century? Are these people our contemporaries? That movement was in such contradiction to the entire spirit of our century that its emergence looks like a true miracle. That was a different world, which was not fitting into the limits of historical development. One can say that Third Reich belongs to mythological order (like a sacred legend) rather than historical (i.e. profane) sphere. The Black Order with its rituals and scrupulously developed system of initiation can be understood as natural continuation of Legends of the Knights of the Round Table, but is hardly imaginable as part of pupil's history reader.
The National Socialists have defied the "unshakable" laws of history thus proving by their example that politics is the art of impossible. They have acted as if what they create should last forever but they also understood that everything can be shattered in no time. Such is the viewpoint of a superior human being, and this is the key to understanding the idea of Eternal Reich.
The will for creation of superior human does not lie in changing the human nature - that would be a very doubtful undertaking - it is connected with problem of self-determination and self-transcendence of human being, a breakthrough into another level of being. In contrast to communists and liberals which are striving to equalize each and everyone, to breed a sort of mediocrity, that is fully domesticated "good" man, by freeing from all "evil" (be it "damned legacy of capitalism" or whatever racial and religious "prejudices"), National Socialists, having accepted essential and unavoidable inequality of humans, strive to build a strict hierarchy. Their motto was not "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" but "Jedem das seine". That is why they have been treating the problem of world vision in the most serious way. They had to develop an entirely new system of values, and for doing that task they had to change almost everything, including physical appearance of the world.
Many would consider such an endeavor as National Socialist fancy. I would like to merely outline how important this problem in regard to universal vision is. When people used to live on the "flat" Earth, all they had to do to reach the "end of the world" was to sail away in any direction. The encounter with something "out of this world" was depending on persistence of the traveler. It did not really matter what shape the Earth has (for our physical perception is always subjective, our sensing organs have their limits and the tools we create can only increase natural sensitivity but can not add new senses), the important was that the traveler knew that anytime he could find himself "beyond the Earth's end" and this depends solely on his will. That idea was radically changed by the new concept of construction of the world. For this reason National Socialists have taken their own new theory of "Ice and Flame Antagonism". We, the unlucky ones, however, we forced to "discover" space, which was found to be endless. Thus, no "end of the world" could be found in the space. No limits and bounds. No hope...
The Nazis have lost? Yet, it's true. Probably, they remain forever as losers in the history books, but the myth has its own rules and the winner does not become always a mythical hero. Yes, the Germans have lost, but they have created their own Eternal Reich which is alive, although in some different way as "the only true teaching", which might be alive in centuries (i.e. on the time line). The Third Reich is a part of Eternity.
I foresee in advance the reproaches regarding idealization of nazism and would like to emphasize the following. I am not going to polemize with anyone on this matter and argue, like revisionists do, using calculations proving that there were no gas chambers or it was impossible to eliminate 6000000 Jews. Is it so or not so - I am least bothered about it. I view National Socialism as I like to view it. It is my will and thus my right. Am I not objective? Yes, damn it, I hate this so called "objectivity", which is used (with very few exceptions) by the people who are not able to have their own view. I am sufficed with the following words: "Hitler has discovered another dimension of reality, in which a reality yet to born has it absolute meaning" (Andre Brissaud "Hitler et L'Order Noir") to say it today - Heil Hitler!
