by Kevin Alfred Strom

IF YOU WATCH FOX NEWS or read political blogs you probably have a headache from all the accusations of “fascism” bouncing back and forth from left to right and back again. “Obama’s a fascist!” “Rush is a fascist!” “Bush is a fascist!” “The Zionists are fascists!” “Your grandmother’s a fascist!” “Kevin Strom is a fascist!” And then we have that ridiculous neologism “Islamofascism.” (ILLUSTRATION: John Kennedy delivering his State of the Union address, 1963, fasces displayed behind him.)

Modern Republicans and Democrats both misuse the term “fascist” — and to such a degree that the misuse has started to be enshrined in dictionaries.

In the broad sense, the term (from the Latin for “bundle”) just refers to the strength of a united people — . . . → Read More: Everybody’s a Fascist Now!

Sir Oswald Mosley and Blackshirts

The following is from a speech Sir Mosley gave to the English-Speaking Union in 1933. It is partially reproduced in his book, My Life, and appears on OswaldMosley.com. In it, Sir Mosley responds to the claim that fascism lacks a historical and intellectual basis.

OUR OPPONENTS allege that Fascism has no historic background or philosophy, and it is my task this afternoon to suggest that Fascism has roots deep in history and has been sustained by some of the finest flights of the speculative mind. I am, of course, aware that not much philosophy attaches to our activities in the columns of the daily press. However, I trust you will believe that those great mirrors of . . . → Read More: Christ, Nietzsche, and Caesar: Excerpt of a 1933 Speech by Sir Mosley on the Historical Roots of Fascism

Diana-Mosley_01x

DIANA MOSLEY’S (pictured) A Life of Contrasts (London: Hamish Hamilton, 1977) is an extremely important book. It provides an intimate picture of the age we have lived through, written from the vantage point of a member of one of its foremost political and literary families. Within the overall picture are revealing portraits of many influential figures, including Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill, whom the authoress knew both socially and personally. The connecting thread, as in all good biographies, is the personality of the subject, and her style is as witty as her judgments are judicious.

Diana, Lady Mosley, was born one of the seven Mitford children, three of whom became writers. The eldest sister, Nancy, sketched . . . → Read More: Sir Oswald’s Remarkable Lady

Corneliu Codreanu of the Legion of the Archangel Michael (Iron Guard)

by Corneliu Codreanu (pictured)

In this piece, the founder and leader of the Romanian Iron Guard, Corneliu Codreanu, assails the vices of pluralistic and plutocratic “democracy”: Its factionalism, divisiveness, and propensity to elevate Jews and aliens over the interests of a native people and its own nation. He also attacks democracy as lacking perseverance, genuine authority, and for its being beholden to the interests of high finance and big business. He calls for a Romanian fascism that would unite the nation and obliterate Jewish influence.

From: Man, State and Society in East European History Stephen Fischer-Galati, ed. pages 327-330 Translated by Stephen Fischer-Galati from Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, “Pentru Legionuri” (Bucharest: . . . → Read More: A Few Remarks on Democracy

The USSR Did Not “Save the World” from Fascism; the Soviet Union Was Saved from a One Front War with Germany

StalinIn May of every year, the successor state to the USSR inflicts on itself and other nations the exasperated delusion that it “saved the world” from fascism. Had Britain not given Poland a war guarantee, there would have been no war in the West, no German invasion of France or the Low Countries, and above all, no second World War. The USSR, whose Red Army was decimated by purges, would have faced a one front war with Hitler.

EVERY YEAR, Europe and the world are treated to claims by Russia that the USSR “saved the world” from fascism and National-Socialism. Leftists and, on occasion, conservatives, in the West write articles praising, or at least recognizing, the Soviet Union’s “contribution” to the second World War.

s-l1600by Robert Row

LATE IN 1932, about a year after the financial crisis that rocked Britain to its foundations and heralded the great depression of the thirties, George Bernard Shaw said at a Fabian meeting in London: “You may remember the eloquence with which Mr. Ramsay MacDonald begged the nation to defend the gold standard. They all rallied ’round the gold standard and gave Mr. MacDonald a big majority. They were told that as long as they stuck to the gold standard the trade of England was safe.” Yet “Mr. MacDonald, who had been hailed as the man who saved the nation by keeping it on the gold standard, was then hailed as the man who saved the nation by . . . → Read More: Sir Oswald Mosley: Briton, Fascist, European

Unjustified Claims Regarding “Islamism” and “Fascism”

islamo-fascism_is_an_invalid_conceptEquivocation on ‘fascism’ has been exploited by both “left” and “right”: On the left, what is called “corporate fascism” is taken to represent fascism in general, and on the right, every stripe of undesirables is fused with fascism: “feminazis,” “ecofascists,” and “Islamofascists,” to name a few. The Islamofascist trope has been exploited for years, and since the end of the Cold War has increased in use. All of these reflect warped historical views.

EUROPE isn’t doing so well these days.

It may be difficult to remember now, in the aftermath of Angela Merkel and George Soros’ manufactured “Refugee” Crisis of 2015, but prior to the open borders mania that was thrust upon Europe that year, the Old World was suffering from a litany of other crises — the Greek crisis, the education crisis, the youth unemployment crisis, the Euro crisis, and so on. Brexit was a child originally conceived in this period, long before the Calais migrant jungle or visa-free travel from Turkey was an issue.

With all that madness in tow, one might be tempted to lament the death of European civilization. Ah, well, it was a good run . . . → Read More: The Other Europe
