Gottfried Feder's writings called for a thoroughgoing state socialism. In the same writings he also said quite a lot about the form of the new state. It would be corporatist in structure, and highly representative. In "Der soziale Staat," he even proposed that the vote be extended to children.

“Others call us reactionary. Some do this in bad faith so that the workers will give us a wide berth and not listen to us. Despite this the workers will listen to us, and when they listen to us they will not believe those who make this accusation, because it is precisely when the aim is to restore, as we do, the idea of the indestructible integrity of fate that it is not possible to be reactionary.”

Josè Antonio Primo de Rivera

Embrace Struggle

“I am writing to resist the idea that Europe and civilization are going to hell. If I am being ‘crucified for an idea’ – that is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated – it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever other cultures, in whatever universality.”

Ezra Pound

Anyone can pull a trigger, but not everyone has the discipline or the courage to fight with bare hands—to cultivate the strength, both mental and physical, that true training builds. A strong body is the foundation of a strong mind; the endurance and focus required in physical training sharpen resilience, fortify willpower, and create a mind that does not falter under pressure. Rarely do we see the combination of intellect with bravery; those with sharp minds often lack the will to act, and those with courage may not value wisdom. This is why we must revive the archetype of the “cultured thug”: someone who embodies strength, discipline, and knowledge in equal measure.

This is why Active Clubs exist as a living, evolving, growing concept—a foundation built on real strength, stability, and growth. Unlike the recent failed groups that gathered to fire guns in the woods under the banners of old symbols.

‘Race against race, immutable’: Pound’s fascist readings of Henry James
by David Barnes

Henry James is recognised as a major literary influence on modernism. Yet in the increasingly politicised writings of the modernist poet Ezra Pound, James stood for far more than literary experimentation. In Pound’s writings, the novelist figured as an author peculiarly sensitive to notions of race and cultural integrity. This essay explores Pound’s creation of a ‘Fascist’ James, one whose battles on behalf of ‘civilisation’ came increasingly to signify for Pound a narrow, culturally exclusive and authoritarian world. By the late 1930s, James featured in Pound’s Italian journalism as an ideal author for his ‘Fascist Library’. With readings of Pound’s early writings on James alongside in-depth analyses of the Pisan Cantos (1948), James’s fictions of encounter between America and Europe became key to Pound’s later vision of culture – a vision increasingly marked by its emphasis on the cultural and racial unity of Europe.

🇬🇷 On November 1, 2013, Giorgos and Manos, two young Greek nationalists, were shot dead by antifa terrorists.

Alexandros, a third nationalist, was seriously injured in an attack; he only opened his eyes again eleven days later, after undergoing multiple operations. To this day, the antifascists who opened fire from their motorcycle have not been held responsible. Although they claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement, the authorities have decided to drop the ongoing investigations.

“The 300 Spartans of Thermopylae are regarded by us as a parable for honour and fulfilment of duty. Nothing gives better proof of the influence of the latter than our attempts at a restoration of Greek life.”
