Trzecia Teoria Polityczna

Michael O'Meara

3,314 words

English original here

„Trzecią teorią polityczną” (w dalszej części artykułu określaną skrótem 3TP) Aleksander Dugin, w swojej „Czwartej Teorii Politycznej” nazywa faszyzm i narodowy socjalizm [1].

Według Dugina, narodowosocjalistyczne Niemcy i faszystowskie Włochy zostały nie tylko militarnie, ale również ideologicznie pokonane w II Europejskiej Wojnie Domowej (1939-45) – stały się ofiarami „morderstwa” lub być może „samobójstwa”. Read more …

Evolův antisemitismus

Michael O'Meara

1,837 words

English original here

V době, kdy jeden z předních kritiků židoliberální civilizace Julius Evola formoval svou rasovou teorii – tedy ve 30. letech 20. století – byly nejrozšířenější inspirací pro antisemitské myšlenkové proudy Protokoly sionských mudrců.

Protokoly byly – údajně z tajné lóže odcizeným – záznamem 24 tajných setkání vůdců mezinárodního Židovstva, na nichž se pokoušeli vypracovat plán na ovládnutí světa. Read more …

A Breviary for the Unvanquished

Michael O'Meara

2,157 words

A propos of Dominique Venner
Un Samouraï d’Occident: Le Bréviaire des insoumis
Paris: PGDR, 2013

In his commentaries on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar claimed the ancient Celts were ruled by two principles: to fight well and to speak well. By this standard, the now famous essayist, historian, and former insurgent, Dominique Venner, who frequently identified with his Gallic ancestors, was the epitome of Caesar’s Celt—for with arms and eloquence, he fought a life-long war against the enemies of Europe.
