  • An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right
    THE OTHER RADICALISM: AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN EXTREME RIGHT IDEOLOGY, POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 1975-1995 JAMES SALEAM A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy Department Of Government And Public Administration University of Sydney Australia December 1999 INTRODUCTION Nothing, except being understood by intelligent people, gives greater pleasure, than being misunderstood by blunderheads. Georges Sorel. _______________________ This Thesis was conceived under singular circumstances. The author was in custody, convicted of offences arising from a 1989 shotgun attack upon the home of Eddie Funde, Representative to Australia of the African National Congress. On October 6 1994, I appeared for Sentence on another charge in the District Court at Parramatta. I had been convicted of participation in an unsuccessful attempt to damage a vehicle belonging to a neo-nazi informer. My Thesis -proposal was tendered as evidence of my prospects for rehabilitation and I was cross-examined about that document. The Judge (whose Sentence was inconsequential) said: … Mr Saleam said in evidence that his doctorate [sic] of philosophy will engage his attention for the foreseeable future; that he has no intention of using these exertions to incite violence.1 I pondered how it was possible to use a Thesis to incite violence. This exercise in courtroom dialectics suggested that my thoughts, a product of my experiences in right-wing politics, were considered acts of subversion. I concluded that the Extreme Right was ‘The Other Radicalism’, understood by State agents as odorous as yesteryear’s Communist Party. My interest in Extreme Right politics derived from a quarter-century involvement therein, at different levels of participation.

  • Secular Apocalyptic Themes in the Nuclear Era
    5 Secular Apocalyptic Themes in the Nuclear Era Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: when will I be blown up? —William Faulkner, Nobel Prize speech, Apocalyptic ideas traditionally have been associated with religious eschatologies, but American secular culture also has contributed to wide- spread beliefs, images, and expectations about the end of the world. The con- cept of a meaningless apocalypse brought about by human or natural causes is a relatively recent phenomenon, differing dramatically from religious apoc- alyptic cosmologies. Instead of faith in a redemptive new realm to be estab- lished after the present world is annihilated, secular doomsday visions are usu- ally characterized by a sense of pessimism, absurdity, and nihilism. Secular apocalyptic ideas have become increasingly pervasive in contem- porary American society; these notions, however, are not unique to the twen- tieth century. Visions of the world destroyed by humans, as well as by natural cataclysms, began appearing in fictional literature in the s. According to Warren Wagar, Mary Shelley’s The Last Man () was the first of such works, and the majority of these early secular doomsday writings, like religious apoc- alyptic visions, offered the hope of a renewed and transformed society after the destruction of the world (:–). Nineteenth-century secular visions of worldly destruction and renewal were not limited to literature; the Marxist promise of world revolution and redemption of the working class is an explicit form of secularized millenarianism.
