I Invite You To Consider Fascism

Spengler:
“The coming of Caesarism breaks the dictature of money and its political weapon, democracy. After a long triumph of world-city economy and its interests over political creative force, the political side of life manifests itself after all as the stronger of the two. The sword is victorious over the money, the master-will subdues again the plunderer-will. If we call these money-powers 'Capitalism,' then we may designate as Socialism the will to call into life a mighty politico-economic order that transcends all class interests, a system of lofty thoughtfulness and duty-sense that keeps the whole in fine condition for the decisive battle of its history, and this battle is also the battle of money and law. The private powers of the economy want free paths for their acquisition of great resources. No legislation must stand in their way. They want to make the laws themselves, in their interests, and to that end they make use of the tool they have made for themselves, democracy, the subsidized party. Law needs, in order to resist this onslaught, a high tradition and an ambition of strong families that finds its satisfaction not in the heaping-up of riches, but in the tasks of true rulership, above and beyond all money-advantage. A power can be overthrown only by another power, not by a principle, and no power that can confront money is left but this one. Money is overthrown and abolished only by blood.”

Yockey:
“Two ideas are opposed — not concepts or abstractions, but Ideas which were in the blood of men before they were formulated by the minds of men. The Resurgence of Authority stands opposed to the Rule of Money; Order to Social Chaos, Hierarchy to Equality, socio-economico-political Stability to constant Flux; glad assumption of Duties to whining for Rights; Socialism to Capitalism, ethically, economically, politically; the Rebirth of Religion to Materialism; Fertility to Sterility; the spirit of Heroism to the spirit of Trade; the principle of Responsibility to Parliamentarism; the idea of Polarity of Man and Woman to Feminism; the idea of the individual task to the ideal of ‘happiness’; Discipline to Propaganda-compulsion; the higher unities of family, society, State to social atomism; Marriage to the Communistic ideal of free love; economic self-sufficiency to senseless trade as an end in itself; the inner imperative to Rationalism.”

So what happened to national socialism, socialist nationalism, third positionism, national syndicalism, etc.? Why was it the self-evident third position, that everybody who wasn't EITHER a liberal individualist capitalist OR a materialist atheist Marxist/anarchist, was tending towards? And why did it disappear so quickly when it was defeated by an alliance of these two, supposedly opposed forces? Makes you think

Develop your own moral-metaphysical worldview, and make it bridgeable onto comparable worldviews so that you can ally with other groups who have done the same later. For instance Islamic fundamentalism is tactically very powerful because of its ability to galvanize, but it is strategically unsound in the long run because it is exclusivist and alienates potential allies. But a Nasr style Perso-Islamic traditionalist religion, or some of the Guenonian and Evolan neo-freemasonic currents active in France right now, are ecumenical enough that they will be able to ally with whatever interesting solidarity blocs emanate from the Hindutva milieux in India, for example. Having a solid worldview also allows you to evaluate all tactical victories because you always have a metapolitical strategic imperative in mind as a regulative ideal or telos toward which everything else must tend. This will help you differentiate your vague and merely conditioned responses to "BASED" apparent reversals for the elites, like BASED MELONI winning or BASED TUCKER saying something BASED or BASED AFD going from 7% to 13% of the vote in Saxony, from your long term strategic aims.

Now you are not waiting on Meloni or Tucker or the AfD to do things and responding things piecemeal when they do happen, you are viewing all contingencies on a chessboard. Meloni may or may not be useful, may or may not be treacherous. Tucker or Gladden Pappen or some other twitter meme BASED figure like Vermeule may or may not be working for a natcon thinktank that will eventually just recapitulate the neocon consensus and end up working for the vampires in the long run. The point is, with your own worldview and unshakeable principles, you can evaluate this from a higher vantage, rather than reacting to them in a passive way as if you're a spectator. This is what Georges Sorel really meant by myth: not the vague and general "every group has its myth" but the self-understanding that a revolutionary group requires so that it never loses focus of its revolutionary strategic aims, these aims function as a universal under which all particular contingencies can be brought in any given instance.
