IMPERIAL COMMUNISM

by Constantin von Hoffmeister



"The ethnification of the social (we Germans or the aliens) is an update and socio-political application of Carl Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction as the essence of the political - and also as the essence of the social state."
-- Juergen W. Gansel

"For evolved man -- the apex of organic progress on the Earth -- what branch of reflection is more fitting than that which occupies only his higher and exclusively human faculties? The primal savage or ape merely looks about his native forest to find a mate; the exalted Aryan should lift his eyes to the worlds of space and consider his relation to infinity!!!!"
-- H. P. Lovecraft

Some argue that Trotskyites have more in common with National Revolutionaries than Stalinists do. This is because Stalinism is the epitome of Russian imperialism and everything this entails, like the subjugation of independent nations and the crushing of national self-determination (as was the case in Hungary where the revolution was a social nationalist anti-Stalinist Trotskyite one). Early Trotsky (before he turned traitor and semi-Fascist turncoat) was a true National Bolshevik. After all, the Red Army was his creation: a militant bulwark against the capitalist exploiter beasts. His idea of workers councils is also more in tune with the European spirit of socialism. Stalinist bureaucracy resembles the rule of a centralized Asian khanate.

German National Marxist Reinhold Oberlercher is correct in his assessment that the Bolshevik Revolution was an anti-capitalist counterrevolution which introduced the Asiatic Mode of Production (AMP) on an industrial basis. Highly centralized and autocratic, the economic administration of the Soviet Union did not allow for autonomy or the emergence of an independent economic life, both hallmarks of a truly progressive industrialized nation. Thus, the Soviet Union became a fossilized structure, burdened with a bureaucracy that did not speed up processes of production but burdened the state with the institutionalized incompetence of oligarchic party cadres.

East German dissident and former SED functionary Rudolf Bahro, who was imprisoned in the GDR for constructively criticizing the state, argued that Communism was a church. Just like the church became corrupted over the years, so Communism lost its original ideals in the periodic solidification of the Soviet state. But just like the Grand Inquisitor could not hurt the image of Christ as a savior, Stalin could not destroy the righteous nature of Marx's ideology. Just because the Communist "church" was once repressive does not mean that one has to become an anti-Communist. As Bahro notes, Francis of Assisi, while opposed to the degenerative nature of the Catholic Church, still remained loyal to it. The crux of the matter is freedom of opinion: If it does not exist, democratic centralism has failed.

Belgian geopolitician Jean Thiriart put forth an Hegelian argument: Racist National Socialism was the thesis and Marxist Communism the antithesis. Thus, the synthesis must be elitist and imperial Communism. Thiriart was right, of course. Only with the brutal efficiency of National Socialism, coupled with the universal appeal of Marxism, can a future Eurasian empire be constructed and maintained successfully. While Communism was evidently inefficient economically, it nevertheless succeeded in creating an imperial mythology that was able to patriotically mobilize all its citizens. While National Socialism was extremely efficient economically and technologically, it did not succeed in overcoming its inherently nationalist and chauvinist nature. Thus, historical National Socialism was not suited for an imperial ideology. Communism, on the other hand, was. But a future Communism for overmen can only survive if it employs National Socialist methods in terms of state management.

EURO-RUSSIA:
the beast with two heads,
a white breast,
two claws
(in one a sword,
in the other the world)
wings spread,
soaring into the sun!

With the rise of Stalin, the ideology of the Soviet Union shifted into a decidedly imperial direction. National Bolshevism is an imperial (but anti-imperialist) ideology while National Communism is an anti-imperial ideology. National Bolshevism, as established by the Red Tsar Stalin, was based upon the Great Rus principle: Russia as the Third Rome, the center and guiding light for the oppressed masses on the great continent where all Hyperborean traditions had their origins. National Communists decried the so-called "Moscow dictatorship" and actively endorsed separatist tendencies within the Soviet empire and the Warsaw Pact. The KPD/ML of East Germany (under the leadership of the National Communist Ernst Aust) postulated that the rule of the leadership of the GDR was illegitimate since it considered it consisting of vassals of Moscow. In a sense, the KPD/ML was right. After all, the GDR was still occupied by Soviet forces, and Germany was still divided and not a neutral country. However, the claim of the KPD/ML that the GDR was a "social Fascist" state that did the bidding of a "social Fascist" Soviet Union is ridiculous. By pretending that Germany was the focal point and actually something that needed to be saved from an imperialist and capitalist AmeriKa and a "social Fascist" Soviet Union, the KPD/ML displayed its infantile belief in the primacy of nations as entities. It did not understand that nations are concepts that betray the imperial destiny of the worker as the creator of a new cosmos. The KPD/ML was essentially reactionary as it viewed the nationalist principle (the good of Germany) as being above the inter-nationalist axiom (the good of the empire). Nationalism is an ideological relict of the bourgeoisie while inter-nationalism is the guiding philosophy of proletarian imperialism. In this context, it is interesting to note that a large number of the imperial Communists (National Bolsheviks) who struggled in the Ukraine against the nationalist Communists (National Communists) were assimilated Jews. In this light, it makes sense why Stalin made anti-Judaism a criminal offense. While National Communism merely adapts Communism to further reactionary and backwards nationalist causes, National Bolshevism is a universal Eurasian philosophy that supercedes nations and ushers in the Messianic age of universal proletarian domination and liberation. National Communist traitors were at work in Hungary, and they were justifiably crushed by the imperial glory of the Red Salvation Army.

Ukrainians are Russians, and the Ukraine is an integral part of Russia. The same goes for Belarus. It is precisely nationalists that play the game of divisiveness. Ukrainian nationalist separatism must be crushed! Stalin did not support Muscovite imperialism and neither does the modern National Bolshevik movement. On the contrary, National Bolshevism promotes the Eurasian ideal which is imperial but not imperialist. The Eurasian ideal is aimed at the future while acknowledging the fruits of the past.

finally:
the vanquished victim
vaporizes the victor!

The Soviet Union was not nationalist but imperial. The difference between these two terms is huge. While the former has chauvinist and exclusive connotations, the latter has messianic and inclusive (but on the basis of a common acceptance that ethnic diversity is a prerequisite for an ethnopluralist socialist empire) connotations.

The Soviet Union (arguably the most important fortress of Communism) was a federation of several nations. Of course, the Russian nation was the avantgarde nation.

Merely because the Soviet member states had a strong sense of group identity (which was encouraged by the various party leaderships) does not mean that they were nationalist. Their loyalties were always to the Soviet Union as a whole (the empire) first. In the Soviet Union, the preservation and veneration of empire transcended the worship of individual nations. Hence, Soviet Communism was not nationalist, not even among the different states that comprised the federation.

Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg:

EUROPIA!
capital and dome...

The Russians were the master race in the Soviet empire. Just as Russian was the official language, Russian culture was the leading culture (but not primitively forced upon like contemporary American "culture" like McDonald's). Euro-Siberian Marxism-Leninism is a movement that shines into the future like a godly torch in the darkest Middle Ages. Stalin was also an ethnopluralist who did not deny the existence of different races. The following quote, which can be read at the Soviet memorial in Treptow Park in Berlin, shows this:

"The ideology which is rooted in our country is the ideology of equality between all races and nations, the ideology of the friendship of the peoples has won the victory over the Hitler-Fascist ideology of bestial nationalism and racial hatred."

The Prolet-Aryan is the creator and sustainer who destroys the old order, paving the way for the new and improved. He lends a guiding hand to the lesser races, elevating them with his own ascent to godhood. The red flag of socialism is the flag of blood, the blood that flows in the veins of the Aryan worker-soldiers of the coming empire of war, struggle and conquest. Like the socialist flag, Mars is red. Mars is not only a planet but also the god of war. Hence, war must be declared in the name of blood and the red planet colonized in the name of socialism. Yuri Gagarin showed us the way. We must follow!

the Aryan anointed
in the soil of the sagas
technology truth trust
born the blade that burns
everlasting
holy

Amen.
