I give you now Part III of S. Michael McMillen's excellent essay, A Heretic's Hope:
"Those of us who acknowledge the crucial battle of the day between nationalism and internationalism must surely concur in the following statements made by (Dr. Josph Goebbels) in a speech entitled "Communism with the Mask Off", delivered on 13 September 1935:
"International communism would entirely do away with all national and racial qualities which are founded in human nature itself; in property it sees the most primary cause of the break-down of world trade in the capitalist system. Accordingly it exploits this through an extensive and carefully organized and brutal system of action, setting aside personal values and sacrificing the individual to a hollow mass-idol that is only a travesty of actual life itself.
At the same time it ignores and destroys all the idealistic and higher strivings of men and nations through its own crass and empty materialist principles. On the other hand, National Socialism sees in all these things--in property, in personal values and in nation and race and the principles of idealism--these forces which carry on every human civilization and fundamentally determine its worth."
We are well aware of the objections to a program of National SOCIALISM. Indeed, I have raised many of them myself.
Socialism is a self-defeating system that robs and plunders the productive and successful in order to provide bread and circuses to the less successful so that slick and oily elites - both financial and political - can the more easily manipulate the people. Nevertheless, there is a big difference between the socialism of the Nazis and that of today's Western "democracies."
German socialism under the Third Reich was intended as a means for Germans to help fellow Germans, not as a tool for diluting, polluting and corrupting the nation's ethnic stock. It is silly to carp at German national socialism when our own Western governments steal our substance and dish it out to freeloaders domestic, foreign and fresh off the boat!
The purpose here is not to glorify unduly the Reichsminister. We have no need here to analyse the myriad contradictions and obsessions that made up this man. For a comprehensive and detailed study of the doctor, one could do no better than read Mr David Irving's brilliant Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (Focal Point Publications, London 1996). Our objective here is to show that the despised doctor happened to have the Bolsheviks' number.
Americans and Britons who endure the national stigma of Clinton's and Blair's gobalistic betrayal might be astonished to learn that it was all foretold more than fifity years ago. Listen again to Dr Goebbels:
"Bolshevism, which is in reality an attack on the world of the spirit, pretends to be intellectual itself. Where circumstances demand, it comes as a wolf in sheep's clothing. But underneath the false mask which it here and there assumes there are always the satanic forces of world destruction. And where it has had the opportunity of practicing its theories it has created "The Paradise of the Workers and Peasants", in the shape of a fearful desert of starving and hungering people."
Our American "leaders" are fond of reminding us of the horrors unleashed by the now metamorphosed Soviet empire. The "fearful desert" is acknowledged regularly even by our lapdog media. Each day brings new revelations of the sour fruit of the touted global economy.
Yet, even as we crow about "winning the cold war," our politicians connive and plot to compromise our sovereignty in the name of the UN, the IMF, NATO, humanitarian aid, environmental protection, "nation" building and that favourite of modern sabre-rattlers - peacekeeping police actions.
The irony of Mr Clinton-who in shameless hippie fashion protested the Viet Nam war from a haven in England - ordering American soldiers to the corners of the globe to enforce his masters' tunes, is repugnant and repulsive to any patriotic American. The irony dissipates as we contemplate the process of morale-disintegration that have been accelerated during the disastrous Clinton tenure.
Clinton's contempt for the manly virtues and military code of honour haven't changed since his smug, surly youth. It is not farfetched to conclude that Clinton would prefer a military force that looks like the dregs of the sleaziest night club in Greenwich Village.
Is it possible that Dr Goebbels predicted anything like Clinton and his (fellow travelers)?
Again, from his September 1935 address:
"Bolshevik propaganda aims its chief blows against the armed forces of a country; because the Bolsheviks know that if they were to adopt the principle of trying to secure support from the majority of the people they could never carry out their plans. Force, therefore, is the only means left to them; but in every well-ordered state this meets with the opposition of the army.
The Bolsheviks accordingly feel bound to introduce their disintegrating propaganda within the ranks of the army itself. Their idea is to corrupt it from within and thus render it ineffective as a bulwark against anarchy."
These prescient statements require no commentary in view of the history of the past 30 years. One is again reminded, however, of Clinton's crusade for homosexuals in the armed forces and his maladminstration's continued push to feminise the forces. That more Americans do not detest the posturing pretender is an eloquent index to the abysmal distractedness of our generations.
The quotations cited are but a few gems amid a treasure trove of the doctor's cogent and incisive critiques of Marxism. One might well ask, having acknowledged Goebbels' stinging critique: "What then? Are we to become National Socialists in order to stave off Clinton's new world bolsehvism?"
NO - as the question is phrased.
We MUST become nationalists and fight for the rights of our people. To do less would be abject surrender. The Nazis themselves used to say that National Socialism was not for export. They were correct.
As noted above, the Anglo-Saxons - despite their racial affinity with the Nordic-Teutonic peoples - take a dim view of the sort of regimentation and pomp that characterised the National Socialist program. Ours is a system based in principle on the insight of John Locke that men are individuals with the right to life, liberty and property. Socialism has been masquerading in America behind the transparent masks of the Democrats and Republicans long enough to make us all aware of its hideousness.
When Jefferson called man's rights unalienable, he meant neither that they were magical attributes nor that they were purely physical. Although he doesn't spell it out, he implicitly appeals to man's qualitative distinction among the other animals as the basis for these rights. This distinguishing factor is called by many the human soul.
