GUILLAUME FAYE AND THE HOLOCAUST

by Constantin von Hoffmeister


I am against anti-free-speech laws. However, how would the situation change if people were free to speak about the Holocaust? Speaking about the Holocaust will not save Europe. In his latest book (THE NEW JEWISH QUESTION, published in France in July 2007), Guillaume Faye denounces Holocaust “revisionism” (or denial). Famous Holocaust “revisionist” Robert Faurrison already denounced Faye for that transgression against rightist dogma. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that Holocaust “revisionism” is utterly inconsequential and counterproductive to the cause of racial liberation. Naturally, Holocaust “revisionism” is mostly the home of raging anti-Semites (who try to downplay the anti-White policies of the Nazis). Faye is a progressive European nationalist and hence on our side. Most Holocaust “revisionists” are not on our side. Also, it is not “the Jews” who criminalized Holocaust “revisionism” but gentile officials of gentile countries.

From what I have heard, there have been no cases of people being persecuted in Israel for Holocaust “revisionism.” Nationalists might use Holocaust “revisionism” as a tool for the propagation of free speech but most of the time these nationalists bite themselves in the foot by also glorifying the Third Reich (which, let us admit it!, can hardly be considered a beacon of freedom of expression) and staying silent when certain Eastern European countries criminalize “denial” of Communist crimes. Most European nationalists openly practice a double standard.

Guillaume Faye most certainly supports Israel. He made this quite clear in many private conversations I had with him in Moscow. Also, in THE NEW JEWISH QUESTION, he makes his anti-anti-Semitic position quite clear. He even lambasts Holocaust “revisionists.” Faye has absolutely nothing in common with the “Jewish conspiracy” theorists which, unfortunately, still infest the New Right. Luckily, though, more and more people are realizing that this way of thinking is anachronistic, counterproductive and definitely not based in reality. Since Faye is possibly the most important thinker of the New Right, it seems fair to say that the New Right is not a monolithic anti-Zionist beast. Some rightists’ anti-Semitism leads them to embrace Islam as their new identity. Their obsession with the Jooooz leads them directly into the camp of Europe’s deadliest enemies.

Anti-Semitism is a form of paranoia. Paranoia is a mental disorder. Hence, anti-Semitism is a mental disorder.
