“Hitler” as Multiracialist Propaganda
The argument advanced by some racial nationalists that any defense of Adolf Hitler, in light of the hostility and even revulsion that his name now evokes, risks alienating mainstream Whites is plausible on its surface and should receive a respectful hearing. But it is still on balance mistaken.
Although most nationalists in the United States and even in Germany do not consider themselves national socialists, multiracialists and anti-White Jewish advocacy groups call each and every one of us a “nazi.” It is an undeniable fact that in our contemporary political climate any white nationalism, as recent events in the Balkans amply demonstrate, will be labeled Hitlerian and will summon, in breathless media presentations, “the specter of the Holocaust” and anguished fears that “it” might just happen again, if the goyim get too restless. That, after all, is the central lesson taught by the countless Holocaust Museums sprouting up, like noxious toadstools, throughout most of the West: that White racial consciousness is literally lethal and must therefore be actively combated, a lesson which we have now enshrined, in deference to Jewry, at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, a national memorial to our White wickedness.
We are thus obliged, like it or not, to live under Hitler’s shadow. Our enemies have ensured that any expression of White racial consciousness, however innocuous, will be officially pronounced hatefully Hitlerian and “nazi,” whether we admire Hitler or despise him. It is therefore incumbent on us, as a simple matter of self-defense, to arrive at a balanced view of Hitler and the movement he founded.
Anyone who doubts all this should recall the abuse that Pat Buchanan received at the hands of the controlled media and the organized Jewish community during his campaigns for the Republican nomination. Buchanan is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a national socialist, nor even a conscious racialist. He is, instead, a traditional Christian conservative, with all the virtues and liabilities that entails. But he was persistently labeled a “nazi” nevertheless. His 1992 speech at the Republican National Convention, liberal columnist Molly Ivins opined, “probably sounded better in the original German.” Her meaning was clear: She was identifying Buchanan as a “nazi,” delegitimizing his nationalism and social conservatism with the most potent weapon in the Left’s rhetorical arsenal.
So as racial nationalists we can either manufacture false “anti-racist” credentials by claiming to hate Hitler just as much as Abe Foxman does, a subterfuge that I very much doubt will convince anyone, least of all Abe, or we can tell the truth.
The truth is that the maniacal Hitler of popular demonology is a World War II propaganda fiction, and the principal purpose of the fiction’s incessant repetition more than fifty years after the war is to stigmatize any nationalist movement, NS or otherwise. Hitler now represents not a specific historical figure and the political party he led, but nationalism of any variety, from timid anti-immigration conservatives to angry White-power skinheads. The System’s anti-Hitler orthodoxy, invoked almost daily, is in effect tacit propaganda for multiracialism and a potent device to keep all nationalists perpetually hiding in closets, too afraid of labels like “racist” and “nazi” to openly say what we sincerely believe. We have, therefore, a real interest in demythologizing Hitler, and we have no hope of escaping our association with what he now represents. We can’t run away from Hitler, however much some of us want to.
Let’s Notice the Obvious
The crucial facts about World War II are uncomplicated and readily available in mainstream sources. NS Germany had limited war aims: the recovery of territory taken from Germany at Versailles, the acquisition of living space for the German people in the East, and the destruction of the Marxist Soviet Union, history’s most brutal regime. Insofar as the United States had any stake at all in the outcome of the war, it would have been to help Germany and her Axis allies, including thousands of Russian patriots, accomplish the latter. Absent the campaign conducted by the Western democracies to save Stalinism by defeating Hitler, the Soviet Union would have collapsed.
Since America had no national interests in the conflict in Europe, our government deliberately lied about German war aims in order to manufacture the perception that we did, claiming that Hitler had global territorial ambitions, a plan for “world domination.” Over fifty years later most Americans still accept the lies.
The predictable result of the Allied victory and the German defeat was Stalin’s occupation of half of Europe. A war that ostensibly began to restore Polish sovereignty ended with Poland, along with the rest of Eastern Europe, being handed over to the Communists. And in quite concrete terms no American would have died in Vietnam if Hitler had destroyed Soviet Communism, arguably the central objective of his political career; American soldiers fought in Europe so that their sons could die in Southeast Asia.
None of this should be the least controversial. It is a symptom of the effect of persistent propaganda that so many of us fail to notice the obvious.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that multiracialism itself, along with our servile deference to Jewry, is founded on the mythical image of Hitler as evil incarnate, Satan’s secular counterpart in modern history. Remove the false, childishly simplistic Hitler myth, and a significant ideological justification for multiracialism would collapse. The simple question, “Were Hitler and NS Germany really as evil as everyone says?,” therefore has huge repercussions, and an entire machinery of propaganda — ranging from Hollywood films and “Holocaust education” in the public schools to off-hand comments in the controlled media (“better in the original German”) — has been designed to discourage anyone from even contemplating the obvious but heretical answer.
National Socialism
Hitler defined his own national socialism as a uniquely German movement:
The National Socialist doctrine, as I have always proclaimed, is not for export. It was conceived for the German people. (Hitler-Bormann Documents, Feb. 21, 1945)
In other words, German National Socialism arose at a specific time in a specific place under the pressure of a unique set of historical circumstances, none of which could ever be precisely replicated elsewhere. In particular, the autocratic Führer state, central to NS Germany, would never be acceptable to Americans; our republican political culture and belief in individual rights are, thankfully, far too strong. Hitler was a dictator and his government authoritarian; Americans prefer their political and civil liberties.
Which doesn’t mean that NS Germany was a police state. It had in fact fewer policemen per capita, and far fewer secret police, than either modern Germany or the United States, despite the misleading image most of us have of legions of sinister Gestapo agents kicking down doors in the middle of the night.
The basic principles of national socialism are, nevertheless, universal: that God (or Nature) has assigned each of us to a racial group and has endowed each group with distinct qualities; that a nation is not simply a geographical concept, a set of lines arbitrarily drawn on a map irrespective of the people living within them, but instead derives (or should derive) its political institutions and national objectives from the character of the people themselves; that a nation organized to preserve a race and develop its distinctive character is therefore “natural”; that the strength and social cohesion of a nation derives from its sense of a common identity, of which race is the most important determinant; that in addition to our individual rights we have larger social obligations, not only to the present generation of our nation but to its past and future generations as well; that the primary purpose of a nation is not economic, but the preservation and advancement of its people, economics being subordinate to the volkisch (racial/national) objectives that should be a nation’s core reason for existing.
“The [Nation-] State in itself,” Hitler wrote, “has nothing whatsoever to do with any definite economic concept or a definite economic development. It does not arise from a compact made between contracting parties, within a certain delimited territory, for the purpose of serving economic ends. The State is a community of living beings who have kindred physical and spiritual natures, organized for the purpose of assuring the conservation of their own kind and to help towards fulfilling those ends which Providence has assigned to that particular race or racial branch” (Mein Kampf, I, iv).
In the generic sense of the term national socialism is (arguably) not inconsistent with democratic institutions, despite Hitler’s own view of the matter; its true antonyms are multiracialism and capitalist, one-world globalism. Nor is national socialism inconsistent with an American “melting pot” view of ethnicity, provided that the various ethnic groups that comprise the nation are sufficiently similar that each can see a common identity and common destiny in the others — that is, insofar as they, despite their ethnic differences, are branches of the same race and can, therefore, be effectively acculturated to a common set of national ideals.
I consider Hitler less a model to be followed than an avalanche of propaganda we must dig ourselves out from under. Never in human history has a single man received such sustained vilification, the basic effect and purpose of which has been to inhibit Whites from thinking racially and from acting in their own racial self-interest, as all other racial/ethnic groups do. Learning the truth about Hitler is a liberating experience. By the truth I mean not an idealized counter-myth to the pervasive myth of Hitler as evil incarnate, but the man himself, faults and virtues, strengths and weaknesses. Once you’ve done it, once you’ve discovered the real Hitler beneath the lies and distortions that have buried his legacy, you’ll be permanently immunized against anti-White propaganda, because you will have seen through the best/worst the System has to offer.

“So as racial nationalists we can either manufacture false “anti-racist” credentials by claiming to hate Hitler just as much as Abe Foxman does, a subterfuge that I very much doubt will convince anyone, least of all Abe, or we can tell the truth.”
Or thirdly we can use our brains.
Hitler didn’t win an electoral majority. He won the most seats and was given the Chancellorship by the German elite in 1933. 1933, the year after the Jewish Bolsheviks deliberately starved six million Ukrainians to death. Can there be any real doubt that the threat of the Bolshevik terror influenced both the German voters and the decision to give Hitler the Chancellorship? Why isn’t this taught in the schools?
Tens of millions killed in the first industrial scale mass murder in history from 1917 onwards – the Red Terror and War Communism under Lenin and Trotsky’s leadership long before Stalin – culminating in the deliberate starvation of six million Ukrainians in 1932 as revenge for past anti-Jewish pogroms. Why isn’t this taught in the schools?
Trillions of dollars and millions of man-hours have gone into creating a global memorial to the holocaust – films, books, indoctrination of millions of school children, countless museums… and absolutely nothing to commemerate the tens of millions murdered by the Jewish Bolsheviks, not only a holocaust in its own right but the primary cause of the subsequent Fascist reaction they say came out of inherent evil of the Aryan nature – a position that would be impossible to sustain if Jewish involvement in the Bolshevik holocaust was more widely known.
So, compare and contrast the collective memorial to the Jewish dead with the collective non-memorial to the non-Jewish dead and you have Talmudic morality caught in the headlights. Every single penny they spent on building holocaustianity then works for us. Every film, every book, every museum highlights their denial of the Bolshevik holocaust and the value they place on non-Jewish dead. Zero.
Use this to destroy their moral authority first and then their power to enforce taboos on historical revision will crumble. Go after the matador, not the cape.
very true
Shhh. Don’t remind the Slavs and Eastern Europeans who genocided them long before Hitler even came to power. P.S. The Democratic Party of the United States has passed a resolution condemning the Holodomor in the last month and American colleges are finally teaching real history and offering real political education.
Given the gradual implosion of our American Imperium: there is no choice but to finally divulge the truer contents of history. While America was becoming an un-constitutional empire, much of her history, (and that of others) was manipulated for political and corporate gain.
The paradigm of deceit is pretty much over. Although painfully slow: our pan-European people are gradually re-awakening to the historical crimes of Wall Street and their alliances. In light of their broken model, the political academics are unable to further their lies to the young.
My comment isn’t adding anything new, but nevertheless it is plainly good to see that certain figures and events CAN be opined and/or FAVOURED upon without guilt or tension.
Wandrin, This comment of yours is so good that I’ll post it today as a single entry in my blog. Cheers.
It’s interesting in this context to read a book like “China in the 21st Century: What Everybody Needs to Know” by Jeffrey Wasserstrom [judaic?] Among other things, it devotes itself to clarifying “misunderstandings” on each side. For example, China doesn’t understand our 2-party, 3 branch system of government, so everytime some Congressman says something they don’t like, they feel they’ve been ‘attacked by the US”. Etc.
One thing American’s don’t understand is “How could a genocidal monster like Mao arise and more importantly, still be thought of as a “great man” who “did so much for China”. What’s interesting is how Wasserstrom patiently “explains” the greatness of Mao, DESPITE admitting to his murdering tens of millions. So much for conservative vaporing about “exposing the horrors of Marxism.”
The point is, since China didn’t lose a war, they have full control of their national identity and history, and can make of it whatever they want. And since Mao’s victims weren’t Jews who control the media, academia, and finance, there’s no screaming chorus of “Never again!” and “Never forget!” Russia is somewhere in the middle, since Stalin did have Jewish targets; hence the demonizing of Russia by the neo-cons. Still, Cockburn insisted during so-called “perestroika” that the Bresnev 70s were looked on as a ‘golden age’ [the stats on deaths, etc. bear it out] while there are still plenty of Russians who boast of an admiration of Stalin.
Had Germany won, or fought to a draw or “conditional” surrender, much the same would be true of them today.
“And in quite concrete terms no American would have died in Vietnam if Hitler had destroyed Soviet Communism…”
There was that war in Korea as well.
I guess I shouldn’t be shocked- but I found this outrageous lie in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Nolte#The_War_of_Words_in_the_German_Press
(…)
“The German political scientist Richard Löwenthal noted that news of Soviet dekulakization and the Holodomor did not reach Germany until 1941, so that Soviet atrocities could not possibly have influenced the Germans as Nolte claimed.”
(…)
The Holodomor was -of course-widely known in 1933 due to the newspaper articles
written by Gareth Jones and Malcolm Muggeridge. Certainly German diplomatic and intelligence personnel stationed in the UK and US perused the local press.
This is one of the most sagacious, well balanced perspectives on Hitler, and his long ‘shadow’, that has ever been written. Irmin’s take on the causes & consequences of the demonization of Hitler is enlightening, and indeed, liberating….in and of itself. Historical objectivity and the unvarnished truth do matter. It is, in fact, vital. Without it, Whites will remain mentally enslaved to lies and delusions that are, to say the least, ideologically and genetically lethal. This is the intellectual dilemma that all Whites everywhere will eventually have to face, as their genetic survival becomes critical.
The effrontery of Jewry knows no bounds. The ghost of Hitler is very important in the effort to maintain a lock on the popular mindset, that’s why Jewry keeps whipping this particular ‘dead horse’ as hard as they can. This is nowhere better displayed than in the anti-Hitler, anti-nationalist, and anti-“racist”, hysteria that Jewry and their minions have always spread. Want to paralyze your ‘respectable’ and ‘conservative’ opponents and make them cringe?, just slander them with one incendiary word: “Nazi”! The intellectual tyranny is really that simple, folks. This is sweet reason, not rocket science. The ironic tragedy is that so many foolish Whites have blindly bought into this hypocritical deception. The matricide of Europe by the Anglo West and Bolshevist East was a devastating watershed event that had, and, still is having enormous Darwinian/demographic consequences. The accelerating political, economic, cultural, philosophical, moral and racial consequences of that disaster….are having a deleterious effect on every White person on earth.

Great comments.

Don’t apologize! They openly practice GENOCIDE against White Children. To them, “Racist” means “White.”
Focus Northwest
Hitler is correct: a spiritual manifestation of a ‘NATIO’ (i.e. Latin for ‘birth’, ‘people’) is the key to sustainability. The economic factor is simply a tool for basic needs. By contrast: America has allowed a ‘money junkie’ addiction into her founded system, thereby perverting her founded roots and racial consciousness.
America’s eventual, economic collapse will break out a new awareness among our silent majority by revising its true needs and sensible wants.
Without guilt: Happy Birthday Mr. Adolf Hitler!
@ Wandrin
“compare and contrast the collective memorial to the Jewish dead with the collective non-memorial to the non-Jewish dead and you have Talmudic morality caught in the headlights.”
Simply Brilliant.
I like your thinking on this, Wandrin. I’ve clipped the last several paragraphs and posted them as individual comments on a Holodomor video. I made a source attribution to you and this post.
Great piece. While there are obvious aspects of both Hitler’s leadership and N.S. Germany that we can take inspiration from, it must be remembered that Hitler was-like most political leaders-an opportunist. He ignored many of the socialist elements of Gottfried Feder’s 25 points and even had Otto Strasser’s brother, Gregor, murdered. In the end, Hitler (like Mussolini) sided with the capitalists who financed him, betraying most of the German workers and, most importantly, farmers.

The correct answer?
LEARN from what he did right, and apply it to what we are doing wrong.
He inspired, led from the front, offered new economic and social solutions, and was attacked on all fronts by all but the rest of the world, simultaneously.

Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag declaring war on FDR has always been my personal favorite.
Especially this passage:

And this one where he mocks FDR and points out how Jews maneuvered the US into conflict with Germany twice.

Great stuff. I’ve read this speech several times and have always enjoyed it. Thanks for posting this excerpt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_the_Holodomor
“In August 1933, Cardinal Theodor Innitzer of Vienna called for relief efforts, stating that the Ukrainian famine was claiming lives “likely… numbered… by the millions” and driving those still alive to infanticide and cannibalism.”
“Fischer was on a lecture tour in the United States when Gareth Jones’ famine story broke…He spent the spring of 1933 campaigning for American diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union. As rumors of a famine in the USSR reached American shores, Fischer vociferously denied the reports.”
“In Chicago, on December 17, 1933, several hundred Communists mounted a massed attack on the vanguard of 5,000 Ukrainian American marchers, leaving over 100 injured in what The New York Times called “the worst riot in years”:”
Jews stay perched on Wikipedia like vultures. I’m surprised that article on Holodomor denial even exists. I am glad the article is there, but I did a quick search and unsurprisingly found the words Jew and Jewish to appear no where apart from a single reference to the Jewish holocaust.
“but I did a quick search and unsurprisingly found the words Jew and Jewish to appear no where apart from a single reference to the Jewish holocaust.”
That’s what’s so good about it.
I would prefer the article state that Jews were responsible for the Holodomor and the attempted denial of the Holodomor, not communists and communist sympathizers.
Incidentally, on a somewhat related note, I have it on good authority from a friend of mine and frequent contributor to Wikipedia (Ph.D. in History) that there is coordinated effort underway at Wikipedia to greatly downplay and when possible scrub information on crimes committed by communists (i.e. Jews).
