Romanticism was an influence on German Nazism in particular (there's a pretty direct genealogy through the Wandervogel) but I don't think movements really get "revived" -- just transformed, channeled and repurposed.

Proto-fascist currents in early 20th century culture, representing one of the more violent and rhythmic incarnations of modernism, lended a particular vitality to a lot of art, e.g. D'Annunzio, the Futurists, and so on. Unfortunately, the regimes which followed up on these visions of the future stifled and deadened the fertile cultures from which they sprang. The brilliance of German literature, for instance, which had survived the German wars of unification, survived the collapse of the Empire, and survived (even thrived) in the squalor of the Weimar Republic -- died almost immediately at of the inauguration of the Third Reich, the supposed "national revival". Even nationalist authors writing during the Nazi era (such as Gottfried Benn and Ernst Jünger) produced their best works in spite of, rather than with the help of the regime. The wellspring dried up in the Nazi sun and has never been reborn since.

I think I'm starting to sympathize with those belle epoque decadent edgelords who believed bourgeoisie society was rotten to the core and had to be purified in the cleansing fires of war and atrocity, so something better could rise from the ashes. I just want to start some shit. Helter Skelter. Meltdown. WWIII. RaHoWa. All forms of violence are quests for identity.

Saved this from one of the previous threads, much appreciated if you tell me who drew it.

Both Communists and Fascists produced good art. Why did the Nazis suck?
