       [quote]Ernst Niekisch (1889–1967) was a German writer who first
       belonged to the Social Democratic Party of Germany and was
       vigorously opposed to the Western powers represented by the
       Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties. In his belief
       that the strongest opposition to the decadent West would be an
       alliance of the Prussian Germans and the Russians he formed his
       own political circle called “National Bolshevism.” His National
       Bolshevist ideology was expressed in various articles that he
       published in his own journal Widerstand and in the books he
       wrote between 1925 and 1931. In 1932, he published a study of
       Hitler’s movement called Hitler: ein deutsches Verhängnis
       (Hitler: A German Calamity) and in 1935 the present work, Die
       dritte imperiale Figur. In light of his opposition to Hitler as
       a bourgeois demagogue, his journal Widerstand was banned in
       December 1934 and he himself was arrested in 1937. He was
       convicted of literary high treason in 1939 and sentenced to life
       imprisonment.[/quote]
       Hail Hitler!
       [quote]Niekisch hopes that, in the modern world, the industrial
       workers will ally themselves with the unspoiled Slavic and
       Tartar peoples and constitute a third imperial figure, the
       technological “worker.” Niekisch’s “third imperial figure” is
       inspired by Bolshevist notions as well as by Ernst Jünger’s
       modernist and futurist conception of the technological worker in
       his 1932 work Der Arbeiter. Niekisch’s ideal of a “third
       imperial figure” fortified by modern technological skills who
       will be able to supersede the eternal Jew and the eternal Roman
       ...
       modern technology, like the earlier mechanical industry, is only
       a handmaiden of the bourgeois commercial interests. As Niekisch
       himself notes, industrial and technological advances are never
       indeed the main aim of the Western civilization that has come
       under the spell of the economic reason:
       The technological apparatus is, as elaborately as it may have
       been constructed, only a Western by-product; it was never
       directly aimed at; it was a means of the economic goal. For the
       European-bourgeois man the mechanism of the free-market economy
       was the natural element of his self-development. (ch.45)
       ...
       the “anti-bourgeois and eastern peoples” can subdue the economic
       reason through the technological reason:
       For the European-bourgeois man the mechanism of the free-market
       economy was the natural element of his self-development; for the
       anti-bourgeois worker and the eastern peoples, on the other
       hand, as a result of the accord of their characteristic
       orientation with the apparatus, the technological structure will
       be that element. The economic realm will be transformed by
       subjecting it to the dictatorship of the technological realm.
       (ch.45)

       From our perspective, machinism is even worse than capitalism.

       I think that progressive Yahwism may eliminate most forms of
       superiority-based ethnotribalism (in particular, white
       “nationalism”). Regardless of whether “white” people actually
       are more intelligent and prone to innovation than other groups,
       I think that the white nationalist who makes a case for the
       preservation of their “race” from that particular perspective of
       “We are the best, we are the carriers of western civilization,
       we are the ones destined to explore the universe”, isn’t
       thinking far ahead enough
       First of all, gene editing will almost certainly be a widespread
       thing sometime soon, and most people will want their hands in
       that pie, regardless of whether they’re “white” or not. And
       neoconservatives who believe that they did the non-western world
       a favor by introducing westernization, even those who believe in
       “race” realism, will simply switch over to promoting gene
       editing that selects for intelligence and machinism in the
       descendants of non-whites. Paleoconservative white nationalists
       who don’t want non-whites to be on equal footing will probably
       protest against this, but will most likely be unable to prevent
       this from happening
       However, even the gene editing scenario is STILL too
       shortsighted, as I believe that transhumanism and the
       singularity will most likely supplant gene editing, before
       hyperintelligent designer babies even have a chance to become
       the norm. If you’re a progressive, why stop at simply
       “improving” human biology through gene editing, when you can
       create something that surpasses the human body itself?
       Ethnotribalism/“racism” wouldn’t even make sense as an impulse
       anymore, when you no longer have a human body to begin with
       Ultimately, I think that progressive Yahwism will probably be
       our primary, longstanding enemy for the foreseeable future,
       rather than “white” nationalism or any other form of
       ethnotribalism. Actually, I think that gene editing and
       transhumanism will convert rightists to something much closer to
       our conception of race, instead of what they have historically
       (and erroneously) labeled as race. After all, a “white”
       progressivist/machinist/traditionalist has more in common with a
       “black” progressivist/machinist/traditionalist, than they do
       with a white-passing person who instinctively despises all three
       of those things. And they’ll no longer be able to deny this,
       once everyone has been forced to be on equal footing, regardless
       of ethnic background

       I would agree with others, especially my favorite Jungian

       singularity before ever even fully understanding the cognitive
       functions of the human mind, and especially the Demon Function,

       The Shadow - Carl Jung's Warning to The World
       [quote]Carl Jung warns us against the dangers of the shadow (the
       unknown dark side of our personality). We must acknowledge our
       shadow and enter into long and difficult negotiations with it
       through shadow work. Only then can we become conscious of the
       collective shadow (the unknown dark side of mankind) and not
       fall prey to it.
       Exploring our shadow allows us to rescue the good qualities that
       lie dormant within us, which improves our lives and the lives of
       those around us. We can then face the collective shadow and take
       responsibility to address the denial of important issues and a
       lack of individual and collective initiative.
       Telling the truth is the most desirable way to deal with a
       difficult past, rather than dismissing the atrocities and having
       the shadow grow blacker until it can no grow no more, and thus
       history repeats itself.[/quote]

       Greece, Judaism and European version of Christianity, the root
       of Western Civilization, the Civilization of Terror
       [quote]Consider the following numerous interpretations, starting
       with Hanson; he has argued that consensual government, civil
       liberties, decisive warfare, and a free market economy
       originated in ancient Greece, and “would form the later core
       foundation of Western civilization” (1999).6 Roger Scruton has
       emphasized the significance of Rome in its creation of a secular
       system of governance anchored on the “autonomous principles of
       judicial reasoning and an explicit statement of the law” (2002:
       22). Nemo has highlighted the Roman “invention” of the legal
       persona together with an intricate system of legal concepts that
       reflected the individuality of each person by separating “very
       precisely what is yours from what is mine: to each by right”
       (2004). Rodney Stark, on the other hand, has insisted that
       Christianity “created Western civilization” by nourishing a
       theological outlook of “God’s nature, intentions, and demands”
       consistent with the rational investigation of nature. The “rise
       of science, according to Stark, was not an extension of
       classical learning, [but] the natural outgrowth of Christian
       doctrine” (2003: 157).7 Grant (2001) and Woods (2005), for their
       part, have emphasized the Catholic ideas, laws, and institutions
       that “built Western Civilization.” Berman, too, has looked to
       the role of the Church but has restricted the “crucial” period
       to the years of the Papal Revolution between 1050 and 1150,
       which laid the basis for the “modern state, the modern church,
       modern philosophy, the modern university, and modern
       literature”(1984: 4). John Hale (1994) has followed an older
       interpretation in concluding that the Renaissance was a whole
       new epoch in the way Europeans came to forge a distinctive
       identity as the inhabitants of “Europe,” a “civilization” that
       was different from the Greco-Roman past and from the
       Papal-centered world of Latin Christendom. Similarly, John
       Headley (2008) has traced the roots of the idea of a common
       humanity and the principles of political dissent to the
       Renaissance.8
       Every period of Western history has had an advocate: For G.R.
       Elton it was the Reformation that prepared the ground “for the
       secularization of Europe” (1963: 279). Steven Ozment (1993) has
       also reasoned that the Protestants were the true progenitors of
       such modern values as social reform, individual religious
       conviction, hard work, and the rejection of corruption and empty
       ritual.9 Herbert Butterfield, in stark contrast, has estimated
       that the Scientific Revolution “outshines everything since the
       rise of Christianity and reduces the Renaissance and Reformation
       to the rank of mere incidents, mere internal displacements”
       (1957: 7). Bernard Cohen has agreed, the story of Copernicus,
       Galileo, Kepler, and Newton are testimony to “the creative
       accomplishment of the human spirit at its pinnacle” (1960:
       190).10 Christopher Hill, for his part, has drawn attention to
       the “Century of Revolution” between 1603 and 1714, as the
       “decisive” years in which the principle of “Divine Right” was
       “fatally wounded,” and men of commercial property “won freedom
       from arbitrary taxation and arbitrary arrest, freedom from
       religious persecution, freedom to… elect [their] representatives
       [and] freedom to buy and sell” (1980: 254–265).11 Paul Hazard,
       looking at a later period, has argued that “never was there a
       greater contrast, never a more sudden transition” than the one
       between 1680 and 1715, when “an hierarchical system ensured by
       authority [and] firmly based on dogmatic principle” gave way to
       enlightened inquiry and open debate (1935).12 But Albert Soboul
       has embraced the French Revolution of 1789 as the “truly”
       radical one, in “wiping out every surviving feudal relic” and in
       promulgating the “rights of man” in general and the democratic
       ideal of “universal suffrage” (1975: 3–19). Cipolla has
       countered that “no revolution has been as dramatically
       revolutionary as the Industrial Revolution [which] transformed
       Man from a farmer- shepherd into a manipulator of machines by
       inanimate energy” (1973: 7–9). T. S Aston (1948) and W. W.
       Rostow (1960) have agreed that this revolution broke with a past
       in which 9 out of 10 Europeans lived in small towns and
       villages, and in which mortality rates and famines were
       recurrent realities.
       Similar claims have been made about the establishment of a
       “modern capitalist world system,” the “Military Revolution,” the
       Romantic Movement, the German Philosophical Revolution from Kant
       to Hegel, the “Second” Industrial Revolution, and the First
       World War. The historiography of Western/European civilization
       is indeed filled with “foundations,” “births,” “origins,”
       “creations,” and “transitions.”13 What I find restrictive in all
       these authors is the supposition that Western uniqueness can be
       comprehended around one or a few turning points. It is not that
       these scholars have studied new developments or periods in
       isolation from preceding or subsequent changes. Cipolla has
       traced the “roots” of the Industrial Revolution “back to that
       profound change in ideas and social structures that accompanied
       the rise of the urban communes in Northern Italy, in Northern
       France and in the Southern Low Countries, between the 11th and
       the 13th centuries” (1973: 9). Ozment has carefully documented
       the roots of the Reformation in the spiritual and monastic
       currents of late medieval times (1980). White has looked back to
       the “Christian dogma of man’s transcendence of, and rightful
       mastery over, nature,” to explain Europe’s “unmatched
       [technological] dynamism” after 1000 AD (1982: 90). Soboul has
       investigated the “transition from feudalism to capitalism” and
       the ideas of the philosophes to understand the origins of 1789.
       Jacob (1997) has addressed simultaneously the Baconian
       utilitarian ideal of knowledge, the Puritan emphasis on hard
       work, and the Anglican “liberal” consolidation after the
       Glorious Revolution of 1688 to account for the cultural roots of
       the first industrial revolution. Toby Huff (1993) has drawn
       attention to the Papal Revolution of the eleventh century to
       explain why modern Galilean science emerged in Europe rather
       than elsewhere.
       Other scholars have actually looked across millennia, but only
       to emphasize the creativity of Europe in one cultural sphere:
       painting (Gombrich 1950), music (Grout and Palisca 1996);
       warfare (Hanson 2001) in science (Lindberg 1992), philosophy
       (Tarnas 1991), or technology (White 1982). What is missing is a
       full appreciation of the unparalleled degree to which the
       history of the West was filled with individuals persistently
       searching for new worlds, new religious visions and new styles
       of painting, architecture, music, science, philosophy, and
       literature – in comparative contrast, for example, to the
       history of China, where artistic and literary styles lasted for
       centuries (Chow 1994; Sullivan 1999).
       I can think of only four individuals, two philosophers of
       history, one sociologist, and one world historian, who have
       spoken in a wideranging way of: i) the “infinite drive,” “the
       irresistible trust” of the Occident, ii) the “energetic,
       imperativistic, and dynamic” soul of the West, iii) the
       “rational restlessness” of the West, iv) “the deep-rooted
       pugnacity and recklessness of Europeans” – Hegel, Spengler,
       Weber, and McNeill respectively. In the previous chapter, I
       delineated the essentials of Weber’s thesis on the peculiar form
       of Western rationalism. I don’t think I was able to extract from
       his writings an answer for why the West exhibited such a high
       degree of rationalism in the first place. I drew attention to
       his ideas on the rationalism of the Old Testament, the Judaic
       cultivation of a coherent doctrine on the purpose of life here
       on earth. I made reference to the affinities Weber noted between
       these Judaic beliefs and certain aspects of the
       Calvinist/Puritan version of Protestantism, its ascetic “worldly
       calling” for a methodical style of life. I suggested that Weber,
       in going back to Judaism, was indeed implying or considering the
       possibility that in this religion there was to be found the
       original source of the worldly ethos that promoted modern
       capitalism. However, I also suggested that the rationalist
       character of ancient Judaism and its connection to Christianity
       and Protestantism was one among other unrelated processes of
       rationalization. As Weber himself insisted, “the history of
       rationalism shows a development which by no means follows
       parallel lines in the various departments of life” (in Ritzer:
       137). There were other lines of rationalization with independent
       sources: the rationalization of arithmetical calculations by the
       ancient Greeks, the systematic ordering of legal norms by the
       Romans, “the rational utilization of lines and spatial
       perspective – which the Renaissance created for us,” the
       “transformation of the process of musical production into a
       calculable affair operating with known means, effective
       instruments, and understandable rules” (in Ritzer: 145), and the
       professionalization of law and administration by nation-states.
       I could not find in Weber an account of the ultimate sources of
       these autonomous currents of rationalization. On one occasion
       Weber did ponder whether it would be “natural to suspect that
       the most important reason” for the West’s “rational restless”
       “lay in differences in heredity” but this comment was strictly
       speculative and marginal.14[/quote]
