Entry: A New Humanism in Europe Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_new_humanism_in_europe#6343 Post contents: To finish (and yes there is a correct an incorrect understanding of Conservatism [funny how fascists, trying to stop discussion, like to pose as defenders of openness and not following the party line]), Real Conservatives look an an existing structure. Racialist-Nationalist (and all Nationalists) look at a blueprint. Racialists-Nationalists are not alone in so doing, joined by Liberal Democrats/libertarians, Social Democrats (“liberals” for Gringos), Cultural Marxists, and Hamiltonian Whigs. (Christian Democrats and Greens look at both an existing structure and a blueprint – again suggesting the compelling nature of their arguments.) Said differently, Real Conservatives approach problems from behind. Nationalists (and others) start from the front, the future – a rather dubious idea, by the way, because the future is fantasy; the past is real . The difference is even starker: Real Conservatives, ironically, look first at the present, and then see it as the growth from a long historical process. Racialists-Nationalists start with their utopian future, and then see the present as only a perverted sickness (if Paul Gottfried will pardon the therapeutic lingo) in need of violent purgation, aiming at their “racially pure” future. Finally, to justify what can only be called a utopian scheme – a future of a purified race –, nationalists set up a fake past, a “romantic” past that never existed, in order to take over the Real Conservative program and sucker in Real Conservatives. (Not once in the past have Conservatives [and Christians] been the frightened and useful idiots of racialist nationalists.). We know Adi’s and Benitos respective fake pasts (though Naziism and Fascism, I say again, are different movements). In Dixie I see the assertion of a fake Celtic nationalism, complete with bagpipes and kilts. But not only are most of Dixie’s European people Borderers, not only were the Borders neither “Scots” or “Irish” or even really much of a Celtic group in genes (an trivial factor) or culture at all, not only were their no Confederate bagpipes or kilts, but also these accouterments and equipage of supposed Scottish culture are at best <i>Highland</i> Scot, and in fact are an 19th C invention, influenced by the windy Sir Walter Scott, invented as a consolation prize for incorporation into the British Empire and the loss of a Stuart King. Paul Gottfried: Forget for a minute my theory in this and the previous posts. Isn’t the concrete historical record of the kind of “ethnic associations” and “core cultures” (and I’m sorry, but these are euphemisms) pretty sorry: Two World Wars, numerous pogroms, “ethnic cleansings”, and genocides, <i>Reichskristalnacht</i>s – all caused by nationalism? Don’t nationalists have a pesky and tiresome irredentist habit of not leaving their neighbors – interior and exterior – alone? Where in your vision is a safety device to keep such “ethnic associations” from turning into social orders identical to the Balkans and Lebanon? In such orders I’d rather not live. Sent at: 2008 11 20
