Účelem fašistického státu je formovat lidi podle určitého modelu. Na rozdíl od demokratických států se ty fašistické nezdráhají učit také morálku. (more…)

Fašismus v protikladu k tomu demokratickému předkládá svůj vlastní alternativní obraz člověka i pojetí svobody, od onoho velebeného demokratického velice odlišné.
Demokracie svobodu nijak neomezuje, snad kromě zákazu škodit ostatním. (more…)

Diktatura je věcná. Římané, když se jejich vlast ocitla v ohrožení, pozastavovali působení republikánských svobod. Stejně tak Konvent. Režim „vlasti v nebezpečí“ je režim autoritářský, nastolený ve vážných případech (Ernstfall) k zachování nezávislosti a k záchraně země vůbec. (more…)

This is a translation by D. G. of a 1982 letter and two enclosures from Maurice Bardèche to Keith Stimely. I wish to thank Mark Weber for providing a copy. The location of the French original of the letter and the accompanying note is not known. The translation of the pages of Suzanne and the Slums can clearly be improved in places by consulting the original. — Greg Johnson

Jsem fašistický spisovatel. Měli byste mi za toto přiznání poděkovat, poněvadž tím byl vyjasněn alespoň jeden problém v tomto jinak choulostivém tématu.
A vskutku, nikdo si nepřipouští, že je fašista. Sovětské Rusko, které žije pod vládou jedné strany a policejního státu, to není fašistická země – ve skutečnosti se jeví přesně naopak. Maďarská vláda, která posílá stávkující před stanné soudy a tanky proti dělníkům, to není fašistická vláda. Prostě jen brání moc lidu. (more…)

Maurice Bardèche, 1907–1998
Shamed by the example of the “Savitri Devi Devotee” who posted a comment on this site yesterday (Savitri Devi’s 105th birthday), I have resolved to keep better track of the birthdays of the writers I read and recommend on this site. So, with thanks to Wikipedia, here is my first attempt.
