Entry: Lukacs, Buchanan, and "Anti-anticommunism" Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/lukacs_buchanan_and_anti_anticommunism#28154 Post contents: What seems particularly bizarre about Lukacs’ position on Hitler as the incarnation of “nationalism”, is that Lukacs’ friend George Kennan agreed with the point Richard makes here, that if the Hilter regime was really based on nationalism, it would fail as it would be in conflict with the competing nationalisms of the various nations of Europe. Of course, if Hitler’s ideology wasn’t really based on nationalism, then Lukacs’ theory of what WW2 was about falls apart. It is a heads Lukacs loses, tails he loses scenario. Sent at: 2009 01 08
