“The shift in how race was understood reflected deeper changes in humanity’s worldview and its conception of its place in the universe.”

Happy Orthodox Easter.
To my understanding, Hungary is screwed.

Orban's loss is a defeat for the Zionist-Nationalist alliance and the "With Jews, you win" mindset.

While I support Orban's social conservatism and his common sense approach to Russia, his Zionism and support for Israel had become inexcusable.

All nationalist parties take note - being Zionist only costs you public support for nothing in return.

Hungary's election results prove once again that the decline of the West is continuing apace. Spengler vindicated again!

"There's something that even now seems strange to me. Originally, I wasn't possessed by gloomy thoughts. My concern, what confronted me with my real problem, was beauty alone. But I don't think the war affected me by filling my mind with gloomy thoughts. When people focus on the idea of beauty, without realizing it, they confront the darkest thoughts that exist in this world. I suppose that's just the way human beings are."

1935. Rome. Palazzo Venezia.

Ernst Niekisch — German National Bolshevik, fierce anti-Hitler fighter — sits down with Benito Mussolini.
What happened next was buried by history. Mussolini leans in:

"Isn't it true that one must go through the school of Marxism to gain a true understanding of political realities? Whoever has not gone through the school of historical materialism will remain merely an ideologist.”

Then Niekisch warns him: Hitler's obsession with destroying Russia will force Germany into a suicidal two-front war.

Mussolini slams his fist on the table:

"That’s exactly what I tell Hitler myself again and again! If he keeps pushing Russia into the arms of France and England, then Germany, Italy, and all of Europe will perish."

He even nods to Niekisch's vision — an alliance of "proletarian nations": Germany, Italy, Russia (maybe Japan) — strong enough to crush the Anglo-American plutocracies.

One private hour that exposes the cracks: The Rome-Berlin Axis was never inevitable. Fascism and National Bolshevism weren’t pure opposites.

And even Mussolini thought Hitler's anti-Soviet line was "stupid" policy.

History took the other road. But this forgotten meeting forces us to ask:

What if they had listened?

Various political compass quiz results I got over the last 6 years.
China owes a great deal to Bukharin. However, I think the Soviets made a good choice going with Stalin’s economic model; that particular model was good for the conditions of the Soviet Union at its time.

After his release from federal prison in 1950, William Dudley Pelley discussed his politico-economic theory for The Christian Commonwealth, first introduced in his 1932 work No More Hunger. Known as one of "The Founding Fathers of Authentic American Fascism," alongside Lawrence Dennis, Ezra Pound, Gerald Burton Winrod, Father Charles Coughlin, Joe McWilliams, and Lothrop Stoddard. Pelley led the Silver Legion of America (Silvershirts) from 1933 to 1940. Alongside his political activities, he promoted a unique heretical Christian mysticism known as the Liberation-Soulcraft doctrine. Pelley was a highly prolific figure, producing numerous books, novels, short stories, film scenarios, and magazine publications. This description is based on surviving lecture recordings totaling around 40 hours.
