THE FASCIST DREAM OF A UNITED EUROPE
Richard Poe
We all know what the Axis of Weasels has done. They have bent over
backward to arm, finance and provide diplomatic cover for Americašs
enemies in the War on Terror. The question is why have they done it?
Many theories abound. Some say itšs about money lucrative corporate
contracts and euros-for-oil deals with Middle Eastern despots.
Money surely plays a role. Yet the hatred many Europeans harbor toward
America appears to transcend greed. Its roots lie deep in the fascist
ideology which, in large measure, seems to drive the European Union.
With no America to hate, Europeans would have few compelling reasons to
unite. And so the lords of Brussels must keep the bonfires of
anti-Americanism burning just as their predecessors, Hitler and
Mussolini, did.
The writings of Baron Julius Evola (1898 - 1974) lay bare the
resentments smoldering in many European hearts. An Italian Fascist and
one of Mussolini's leading intellectual defenders, Evola called for a
united Europe in his 1972 book, "Men Among the Ruins." He stated plainly
what many Europeans feel but dare not say.
Evola lamented the fact that the fortunes of war had reduced Europe
"from its role as a great subject in world politics" to a mere "object
conditioned by foreign interests and influences."
He prescribed the following steps many of which will look eerily familiar to those who have followed the march toward European unification. Evola recommended forming "an Order, whose members would act in the various nations, doing what they can to promote an eventual European unity. ..."
This Order would be built around "members of ancient European families"
who still possessed "something in the blood" that lent them a "warrior
character," wrote Evola. "One must first get rid of the political class, which holds the power in almost all European countries in this time of interregnum and European slavery," Evola wrote.
Evola called upon Europeans to cultivate an "inner readiness" to put aside their own national loyalties and embrace the superstate of Europe to cross "from the national level to the supernational," as Evola put it. The "nationalist hubris" or "pride of nations" must be broken, Evola declared.
Europe should then be united "into a single bloc," wrote Evola. Paradoxically, while Evola denounced "imperialism," he called for the formation of a "European Empire" in which peoples and nations would be "arranged hierarchically," with superior nations lording it over inferior ones.
The European Empire would be ruled by aristocratic elites, who would replace the bickering parliaments of yesteryear. Evola called for a "general anti-democratic cleansing."
The New Europe would need a spiritual belief system. But Christianity would not do. Modern Christianity had degenerated into something "weak, insubstantial and formless," Evola complained. Worse, it was "not specifically European and not liable to be monopolized for European civilization alone: after all, even American blacks are Christians," Evola wrote.
Ultimately, Europeans would be called upon to make their move to confront Europe's foreign oppressors and, in Evola's words, "to become emancipated in every aspect and in equal measure from both the United States and the USSR."
