The Fascist Dream of a United Europe

WE ALL KNOW what the Axis of Weasels has done.
They have bent over backwards to arm, finance and
provide diplomatic cover for America´s enemies in
the War on Terror. The question is why have they
done it?

Many theories abound. Some say it´s about money -
lucrative corporate contracts and euros-for-oil
deals with Middle Eastern despots. Money surely
plays a role. Yet the hatred many Europeans harbor
toward America appears to transcend greed. Its
roots lie deep in the fascist ideology which, in
large measure, seems to drive the European Union.

With no America to hate, Europeans would have few
compelling reasons to unite. And so the lords of
Brussels must keep the bonfires of
anti-Americanism burning - just as their
predecessors, Hitler and Mussolini, did.

The writings of Baron Julius Evola (1898 - 1974)
lay bare the resentments smoldering in many
European hearts. An Italian Fascist and one of
Mussolini´s leading intellectual defenders, Evola
called for a united Europe in his 1972 book Men
Among the Ruins. He stated plainly what many
Europeans feel but dare not say.

Evola lamented the fact that the fortunes of war
had reduced Europe "from its role as a great
subject in world politics" to a mere "object
conditioned by foreign interests and influences."

"Today Europe has to live between two superpowers
struggling for control of the world (USA and
USSR)," wrote Evola - a condition he likened to
"slavery." (2)

Evola looked back fondly on the days when Hitler´s
Third Reich united Europe in a common cause.
"Before 1945," he wrote, "we could at least
witness the wonderful sight of the principle of a
supernational European Army, and the legionary
spirit of volunteers from many nations who, having
been organized in several divisions, fought on the
Eastern front against the Soviets; at that time
the foundation was the Third Reich." (3)

Only through unification could Europe recover its
former glory, said Evola. He prescribed the
following steps - many of which will look eerily
familiar to those who have followed the march
toward European unification.

Step 1: ESTABLISH AN ELITE ORDER

Evola recommended forming, "an Order, whose
members would act in the various nations, doing
what they can to promote an eventual European
unity..." This Order would be built around
"members of ancient European families" who still
possessed "something in the blood" that lent them
a "warrior character," wrote Evola. (4)

Step 2: LIQUIDATE EUROPE´S "POLITICAL CLASS"

"One must first get rid of the political class,
which holds the power in almost all European
countries in this time of interregnum and European
slavery," Evola wrote. (5)

Step 3: ERADICATE NATIONALISM

Evola called upon Europeans to cultivate an "inner
readiness" to put aside their own national
loyalties and embrace the superstate of Europe --
to cross "from the national level to the
supernational..." as Evola put it. (6) The
"nationalist hubris" or "pride of nations" must be
broken, Evola declared. (7) In the process,
European peoples would have to abandon many
aspects of their individual cultures and embrace a
new "common European culture." (8) Evola called
explicitly for the abolition of "nationalism,"
"imperialism" and "chauvinism." (9)
