Tangents Lead to Taboo Truths #4: Origins of National Socialism
Share freely! Taboo Truth folk community is growing.
In my research for a last-minute article for the next issue of The Barnes Review: The Journal of Politically Incorrect History, titled “Did Hitler ‘Seize’ Power, or Was He Elected?” I discovered this fascinating fact in the Wikipedia entry for German Chancellor Gustave Stresemann at the time of Hitler’s coup d’etat attempt in 1923:
“In 1903 (Stresemann) married Käte Kleefeld (1883–1970), daughter of a wealthy Jewish Berlin businessman, and the sister of Kurt von Kleefeld, the last person in Germany to be ennobled (in 1918). At that time he was also a member of Friedrich Naumann's National-Social Association.”
Hitler loathed Stresemann, considering him another traitor to the German nation and people. It did not help that Stresemann was married to a wealthy Jewess.
But what was the National-Social Association? Its Wikipedia entry:
”The National-Social Association (German: Nationalsozialer Verein, NSV) was a political party in the German Empire, founded in 1896 by Friedrich Naumann. It sought to synthesise liberalism, nationalism and non-Marxist socialism with Protestant Christian values in order to cross the ideological front lines and draw workers away from Marxist class struggle. However, it never grew beyond a minor party of intellectuals which failed to gain mass support in elections.”
Right here we see close alignment with the later political party Hitler expanded into the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). It too sought and succeeded in synthesizing liberalism, nationalism and non-Marxist socialism (along with racialism and counter-Jewish finance). It further supported many Christian values, with partial direct advocacy though allowing and even encouraging a more folkish Germanic spirituality. Mostly strongly, the NSDAP worked to draw workers away from marxist class struggle into a class harmony meritocracy. The ideological alignments of the two parties are in these aspects are the same.
I will often glance at Wikipedia entries only to seek out the source or reference they contain and examine that source directly. This Wiki entry on the National-Social Association goes to a book Scholarship and Partisanship: Essays on Max Weber (1971). The chapter “Max Weber’s Generational Rebellion and Maturation,” sub-chapter “Spokesman of a new political generation” provides more insight:
”In spite of grave doubts, Weber helped Naumann found the National-Social Association in 1896. This, the most ambitious attempt by the new reformist generation to build a political party and provide a political alternative, did not gain a broad constituency and soon failed at the ballot box, remaining a party of intellectuals.”
Next we see the foundational ideology of the National-Social Association in close alignment (though not comprehensively) with the National Socialist German Labour Party (NSDAP) as it emerged 27 years later in the coup d’etat attempt in Bavaria by Hitler and his Party and allies:
”…Weber took the national interest as his political yardstick, subordinating the interests of the social classes and interest groups to the lofty purposes of strengthening Germany’s political, economic, and cultural position in the world. He operated with a notion of national interest… Weber tried to face the fact that Germany was now a great power, and an industrial state with inevitable involvements in steadily intensifying world-wide competitions of the major powers. (He proposed) a national policy of social integration, granting the labor party at least as many rights as it had gained in England, his political model. He admired the ability of that relatively small country to build effective representative institutions and become a world power. (…) Putting the national cause above social class interests…”
This is almost an exact representation of the later NSDAP led by Adolf Hitler that went on to apply these very same principles to the Germany economy, industrialism, social classes and nationalism generally. Of course the NSDAP applied others to race, national finance, the Jewish Issue, more complex foreign policy and even folkish spiritual values. Still, this ideological approach of the National-Social Association in these select areas must have served as a foundational influence on Hitler’s NSDAP. The fact that Stresemann failed to apply them in his role as chancellor only disappointed Hitler the more in him.
This become more relevant when we see a recent essay by Joseph Atwill, who joins in a discussion with Tim Kelly every week on Our Interesting Times’ show Powers and Principalities. I have had debates with Atwill before over the legitimacy of Hitler and the NSDAP, and I fully intend to write a full rebuttal to this essay by Atwill:
”The Freemason Invention of the Nazi Party” Atwill provides a sub-chapter “The Concept of National Socialism Came From Theosophists.” He states:
“Edward Bellamy and his cousin Francis Bellamy were Theosophists who developed the concept of ‘national socialism’ which they also called “military socialism”, as they wanted all of society to emulate the military. Following their development of the term and practices in the US they brought National Socialism to Germany in the late nineteenth century.”
It concerns me that Atwill puts ‘national socialism’ in single quotes, but “military socialism” in double quotes. Does this mean that the Bellamy Theosophists did not really call it ‘national socialism,’ but “military socialism?” In the link provided, Atwill’s source (Marotta Wealth Management!) says:
“(The NSDAP) is a direct thought child of the Bellamy cousin’s National Socialism.”
And: “Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward was an integral part of the flow of history in the rise of national socialism.”
But:
“The link between Bellamy and Nazi Germany is described in “Edward Bellamy Abroad” by Sylvia E. Bowman,
During the period in which Hitler’s (NSDAP) was rising to power, some Germans – usually socially inclined but anti-Marxist bourgeois – thought at first that the National-Socialist German Worker’s Party would be a version of the American Nationalist movement as outlined by Bellamy…”
So, did Bellamy ever use the term ‘national socialist’ for his ideology as depicted in Looking Backward, or did he use “Military Socialism” and/or “American Nationalist movement”? We would have to know for sure to make credible links between Bellamy the alleged Theosophist and the NSDAP.
Looking at the timeline as presented in the sub-section of Atwill’s reference Marotta Wealth Management on the Bellamys’ influence on Germany, it is possible Looking Backward influenced the National-Social Association founded by Naumann and joined later by Stresemann. Bellamy had the book translated into German in 1888, immediately after it was first published in English. So it could have had influence on the founding of the National-Social Association in 1896. From there, it may have had at most a partial influence on the NSDAP and HItler. This would be a twice-removed or even thrice-removed influence from Theosophy.
Of course the NSDAP and Hitler had other important influences far divergent from Theosophy, such as the economics of Gottried Feder, and the views of Wolfgang Mommsen, not to leave out the example of Otto Bismark’s German Nationalism which Hitler greatly admired, or even the art of Richard Wagner.
I fully intend to engage in a thorough rebuttal to Atwill’s theory that the NSDAP was significantly influenced by Theosophy through Bellamy’s Looking Backward, and other influences Atwill presents. He is a formidable debater and makes excellent arguments in support of his view—or so it seems. We will see how well his theory stands against an impassioned and scholarly presentation showing the many other powerful influences on National Socialist thought and practice. If Theosophy had any influence at all, it was insignificant compared to others. In fact, many people and groups were developing nationalist socialist thought along with Marxist internationalist socialist thought at the time, making Theosophy’s version only one among many, and even itself likely influenced by not only these others, but the general Zeitgeist (time ghost) inspiring the public mind.
To close for now, I cannot get over the fact that Atwill’s source is an investment management firm! How likely is that to be a credible unbiased source on the history of National Socialist influence, when German National Socialism was ideologically opposed to the kind of totalitarian Jewish capitalism in which Marotta Wealth Management is embedded? It even references Snopes, which is well known to be a Jewish-controlled “fact-checking” lie propagandist run by a pornographic dysfunctional couple.
I look forward to engaging deeper in this ongoing debate with my esteemed and accomplished colleague Joseph Atwill. He argues Hitler and the NSDAP were frauds and controlled opposition forces, I argue they were genuine. Let the readers decide.
Atwill's article, oddly, comes out after I mentioned my paper on it subject via Facebook, and after he was crucified by the Jew at History Valley for being an anti-semite.
Unfortunately, Atwill doesn't define National Socialism and can't show its intellectual overlap or difference with theosophy. He doesn't define theosophy either.
At root, National Socialism is about volk-preservation. Theosophy is about the evolutionary-extinction of man into a different "root-race." Theosophy makes evolutionary-extinction a spiritual practice and is a tactic of GENOCIDAL BRITISH GEOPOLITICS. It is the basis for transhumanism. Masonry answers to the royal family and is a British intelligence operation with York and Scottish "rites."
The German use of the term race is strictly biological. Theosophy is a British intelligence operation used to corrupt German and continental racial thinking (and to co-opt Europe spiritually) with the invention of root-races and universalism. Blavatsky pawned Krishnamurti off as the new Jesus Christ. Rudolf Steiner rejected her claim and her theosophy lost its hold in Europe, at least, to the end of WWII. Atwill shills for the "nazi occult" angle which is the key to debunking him.
National Socialism stands on its own without the need for any occult.
Hitler disavowed masons, banned theosophic works, and put a few idiots of this type in camps. Many cults like to attain cred by pretending their ideas are used or influenced a successful political leader. Many white nationalists projected themselves into Trump and that a Trump victory was a victory for white "nationalism" rather than "white zionism" (Spencer).
Here is my article Hoax of a Nazi-Occult.
