Stalinist Revisionism

"He had many heroes during his boyhood and youth . . . Lenin, Hitler, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera . . . Mussolini . . . Peron . . . He knew the speeches of Jose Antonio by memory ... He knew Mein Kampf and also Lenin’s What is to be Done?"

"There are two great and authentic revolutionaries in the world: Mussolini and Hitler. But Mussolini's past shows that the Duce has always been against plutocracy and against democracies, which paralyze the life of nations."

We must accept that the elements of strength in Fascism do not lie only in violence and in the apparat. This dictatorship has done something – not just by means of violence. It has done something even for the workers and the young. We cannot deny that the introduction of social security is a fact.

“Russia, like Germany, belongs to the ‘beaten nations’, and such nations have great responsibility for their peoples. It is not legitimate to lament “toil and suffering” in Russia – rather, it is perfectly normal that there is toil, suffering, and self-sacrifice whenever a beaten nation wills itself to reemerge on the world stage.

The youth must get used to strict subordination, obedience, an austere lifestyle, hardship, and other male virtues.

The will to poverty, the desire for a simple life – we are proud to counterpose these to the overly refined lifestyles of the western imperialist powers.

We believe in authority and a hard existence based upon discipline and duties. A task of national Bolshevism will be to strategically create plight, toil, and suffering for the urban masses that will force them to get used to this lifestyle – they will come to understand heroic self-sacrifice for the nation.

I admire Stalin’s Soviet Union not for its stated objectives – a classless, stateless world communism of equals – but because in practice their exact opposites have been attained: instead of a semi-state withering away to nothing but ‘perfect freedom’, in its place an all-consuming, “relentless total state” has been created.

The Soviet Union has become the embodiment of national rebirth and the ultimate reinforcement of Russian nationalism – a far cry from Marxist internationalism and world revolution. The Soviet Union is now the closest to the ideal – 19th century Prussia. Bolshevist means, rather than Fascism and cooperation with the loathsome conservatives, is our path to the restoration of the German Empire’s former glory.”
