MICHAEL KUEHNEN: A GERMAN SOCIALIST

by Constantin von Hoffmeister


"The people to which I belong and that I love is the German people, and my nation that I honor with great pride is the German nation. A chivalrous, proud and hard nation. I am blood from the blood and flesh from the flesh of the German workers, and therefore, as their revolutionary child, I later became their revolutionary leader."
-- Ernst Taehlmann (German Communist leader), 1944 (in Bautzen prison)

"The West is a garbage can."
-- Heinrich Mueller (SS leader of the Gestapo, defected to the Soviet Union in 1945)

We declare that Michael Kuehnen was a righteous man in the eyes of the furious gods. Like Karl Marx before him, he was a brilliant theoretician of labor and liberation. He was born on the 21st of June in 1955 and died on the 25th of March in 1991. He was homosexual and died of AIDS (which, in contrast to the HI virus, exists as a condition). He spent eight years in prison for his political beliefs.

Kuehnen defended homosexuality and wrote a piece entitled NATIONALSOZIALISMUS UND HOMOSEXUALITAET (National Socialism and Homosexuality) in which he argues that Jewish propaganda has dragged the notion of homosexuality into an imaginary abyss of sin and filth. He argues that the family is the original cell of the natural community on which the clan, the tribe, the folk and the race build. The soul of the family is the woman who is closest to nature. But the bond of men is the original cell of all cultural communities, such as the state, the nation and the empire. Of course, not all members in a bond of men must necessarily be homosexuals, but naturally homosexuals will be attracted to such a bond. This is why, according to Kuehnen, just like the love between man and woman, the love between man and man cannot be condemned. To put it another way: It should not matter what one does in private when one is an outstanding revolutionary activist and leader in public. In the future European empire, the private and public spheres of life will be strictly separate. Or as Jean Thiriart argued, the Imperium (concerned with imperial decisions) is distinct and not necessarily a reflection of the Dominium (concerned with personal decisions).

Michael Kuehnen founded the AKTIONSFRONT NATIONALER SOZIALISTEN (Action Front of National Socialists) - ANS. The ANS was responsible, through various actions, for disturbing the federal peace in post-war Germany and for scaring the bourgeois pigs who ran the country. One of the actions involved various members of the ANS in May of 1978 in Hamburg. They wore donkey masks and had signs that read: "I am an ass that still believes that Jews were gassed in German concentration camps." This action made international headlines. One does not have to condone historical National Socialism to appreciate this action for what it was: a frontal attack on the absurd nudity of a made sick system!

From 1983 until 1987, the ANS was also active in Lebanon. German and Lebanese comrades formed the ANS-Lebanon. The ANS-Lebanon was an integral part of National Lebanese and Palestinian fighting units and organizations. After all, the ANS-Lebanon had the same enemy as the Arabs: the Zionist moloch! When Rudolf Hess died, the Lebanese flag was put on half-mast by order of the Lebanese camp commandant. Many high-ranking officers of various liberation organizations came to the camp to express their condolences and to honor the great German Rudolf Hess.

The capitalist pig-dog says, "What did the workers ever do for me? They do not even bottle their sweat and let me drink it."

Kuehnen said, "We want an economic order that truly deserves to be called a 'people's economy,' that is a third way between the inhuman and unnatural systems of capitalism and Communism instead of being dependent on the crises of a 'world economy.'" This quote sums up Kuehnen's idea of autarchy. An economically autonomous nation is a nation that is independently free since it does not depend on the goodwill or good seasonal outcomes of another nation. Like a true National Bolshevik, Kuehnen advocates a system that has been tried and tested in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for decades - a system that works and glorifies the fruits of its own labor for the sake of the nation and glory itself - heroically inclined followers of the economical code of self-sufficiency will always laud and applaud the riders of the desensitized dawn because the latter symbolize the path that a truly great nation should take: inwards and then outwards!

The DPRK is the perfect territorial manifestation of the Korean race soul. Any race soul that is not fragmented and in the process of dissolution will find itself realized in the corporeal world in the form of a socialist political system. Ever since Confucius, the Koreans have had a different relationship to the notion of leadership than the Northern Europeans. This is why, in contrast to the freedom-loving Northern Europeans, the Koreans in the DPRK have no problems or instinctual hesitations worshipping their political head as a godlike figure. One should therefore not ridicule the Koreans' choice of race soul display since the DPRK is nothing less than the state-based glorification of the archetype of the Korean race.

Kuehnen said, "Ever since then my hatred is geared towards the liberal capitalist system that, to save itself, drives the best sons of the nation against each other. How this corrupt system would begin to tremble if the enormous revolutionary currents of the left and the right would unite..." This statement must ring true to all true revolutionaries today, living and struggling in a time where nothing seems possible and every action futile. Only when the sectarian divisions between National Socialists and anti-globalist Aryan partisans of other colors have disappeared will the era of the Abraxi truly begin: To the bombastic sounds of the Internationale will the last race march towards the gate that has nothing written above it, since neither labor nor idleness will free it, opening into the then lush countries filled with the joy of blood bonds and bright brotherhood. Kuehnen, a true son of the sun, saw the gulf and tried to bridge it, a gulf so deep and yet so shallow...

In his essay GRUNDLAGEN DES HEIDENTUMS (Foundations of Paganism), Kuehnen talks about the essence of Paganism, in contrast to the peculiarities of the diverse cults that it spawned. The essence of Paganism is the acknowledgement of the unity of the universe. All material and spiritual things are composed of energy. Energy is always constant, nothing is added to or taken away from it. All matter, thoughts and feelings are composed of energy. At the end of a universe's cycle, the universe implodes, taking all the energy that has been retransforming itself since the universe's birth with it into temporary oblivion. At the end of a cycle of a universe, all energy, material and psychic, forms a unity. According to Kuehnen, Pagan gods are real and not mere symbols of natural forces. Gods die when the respective peoples that worshipped them stop believing in them. In the same vein, gods can be reborn through a renewed and actual belief in them. Kuehnen said, "... I am convinced that the metaphysical dimension of Paganism is only then restored if the gods return, and we welcome them and worship them again." This means that we must again believe in the anthropomorphically tangible cause of heroically creative and horrifyingly destructive deeds that no mere mortal can possibly commit.

Racial Marxism: Materialism is everything. Superior races produce superior civilizations. Organic material (a race) precedes creation (building of a civilization). Like Adolf Hitler before him, Kuehnen was a good Marxist because he acknowledged the fact that only through materialism (racial existence) can spirituality (racial consciousness) be achieved. As opposed to Hitler who was a Germanic nationalist, Kuehnen was a pan-European nationalist. Kuehnen argued that National Socialism is the "organized will to life" not only of the "Nordic-Germanic-German type of human beings" but of the "Aryan race as a whole." In this sense, Kuehnen can be considered a progressive National Socialist. As opposed to Hitler who despised Slavs, Kuehnen viewed them as an integral part of the White race. This is why he said that "the National Socialism of the new generation abandons the idea of Eastern expansion." Kuehnen viewed Russians as "Aryans of the Eastern racial type." He said, "Historically, the Russians are the heirs of the Eastern Roman Empire of Byzantium and therefore the folkish bearers of the Eastern European idea of empire." With this comment, Kuehnen is diametrically opposed to the reactionary National Socialist idea that the East needs to be depopulated of its Slavic elements and repopulated with Germanic elements. Kuehnen acknowledges the legitimacy and continuity of Russian rule and, furthermore, points out the kinship of Western and Eastern Europeans, both heirs to the once mighty Roman Empire.
