Analysis of the idea of national anarchism in Troy Southgate’s thought Karolina Wilczyńska 333 Between the Opposites - the Traces of Doris Salcedo Wstęp Drodzy Czytelnicy! Wydawać by się mogło, że apokalipsa i zagłada to wąskie tematy. Można je jednak rozpatrywać z bardzo wielu stron – mówiąc o kwestiach najtrudniejszych, takich jak historyczna zagłada narodów, ale też opisując oblicze apokalipsy we współczesnej kulturze popularnej. Wielość możliwych interpretacji znajduje odbicie w różnorod- ności artykułów, które prezentujemy Państwu w niniejszym numerze. Na początek proponujemy teksty poświęcone apokalipsie w filmach Piotra Szulkina oraz symbolicznej śmierci figury Matki Polki w kinematografii Andrzeja Żuławskiego. Następnie przyjrzymy się, jak wojna ukształtowała poezję oraz życio- rysy Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego, Tadeusza Gajcego oraz Zuzanny Ginczanki. Potem przeczytamy na temat pamięci o Zagładzie w twórczości Joanny Fabickiej i Martina Pollacka. Kolejne artykuły poświęcone będą katastrofizmowi hermeneu- tycznemu w Inwersjach Macieja Meleckiego, powieści Poniedziałek zaczyna się w so- botę Arkadija i Borysa Strugackich, a także apokalipsie w rosyjskim postmodernizmie i koncepcji zatrzymywania życia we współczesnej literaturze fantasy. Następnie przyjrzymy się idei cyklicznej zagłady i odradzania się kosmosu w fi- lozofii greckiej oraz popkulturowej percepcji Apokalipsy św. Jana. Zastanowimy się także, czy można mówić o zagładzie prekolumbijskich społeczności Moche i Nasca oraz czy Wielka Rewolucja Francuska może być traktowana jako projekt eschatolo- giczny. Przeczytamy również o zniszczeniu Warszawy, pamięci zdarzeń w Hiroszimie i następstwach ludobójstwa Czerwonych Khmerów. Z kolejnych tekstów dowiemy się o szwedzkich inicjatywach eugenicznych, instytucji transcendentalnej przysięgi w Afryce, na Bliskim Wschodzie i Bałkanach, a także o nowych ruchach religijnych w Rosji. Wreszcie przyjrzymy się zagadnieniu istnienia czystej świadomości, koncep- cji zmiany z perspektywy filozofii i psychologii, jak również narodowemu anarchi- zmowi jako zjawisku polityczno-prawnemu. Na zakończenie przeczytamy o twór- czości odwołującej się do pamięci o trudnych dla narodu wydarzeniach Doris Salcedo. Mamy nadzieję, że proponowany przez nas zbiór tekstów pozwoli Państwu oswo- ić nierzadko trudny, ale z pewnością interesujący i istotny temat apokalipsy i zagłady.

  • 14 European Far-Right Music and Its Enemies Anton Shekhovtsov
    14 European Far-Right Music and Its Enemies Anton Shekhovtsov I’m patriotic, I’m racialistic, My views are clear and so simplistic (English Rose, 2007b) In a self-conducted interview that appeared in his manifesto, Norwegian would-be right-wing terrorist and killer Anders Behring Breivik, under the pen name Andrew Berwick, argued that specifi c music helps sustain ‘high morale and motivation’ of ‘self-fi nanced and self-indoctrinated single in- dividual attack cells’ (2011, p. 856). He went on to list several ‘motiva- tional music tracks’ he particularly liked. Breivik described one of these tracks, ‘Lux Æterna’, by Clint Mansell, which was featured in the trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers , as ‘very inspir- ing’ and as invoking ‘a type of passionate rage within you’ (2011, p. 858). On 22 July 2011, ‘Lux Æterna’ supposedly played in his iPod while he was killing members of the Workers’ Youth League of the Norwegian Labour Party on the island of Utøya (Gysin, Sears and Greenhill, 2011). Another artist favoured by Breivik in his manifesto is Saga, ‘a courageous, Swedish, female nationalist-oriented musician who creates pop-music with patriotic texts’ (2011, p. 856). Saga soared to the heights of right-wing fame in 2000, when she released three volumes of My Tribute to Skrewdriver on the Swedish right-wing label Midgård Records (2000a). Her three-volume album featured cover versions of Skrewdriver, a model White Power band, whose late leader, Ian Stuart Donaldson, founded the Blood & Honour (B&H) music promotion network in 1987.

  • National-Anarchism
    National-anarchism National-anarchism is a radical, anti-capitalist, anti-Marxist and anti-statist ideology. First-wave national-anarchists advocate that different ethnic and racial groups should peacefully coexist by developing separately in their own confederations of autonomous tribal communes within a post- capitalist stateless society.[1][2] The term national-anarchism dates back as far as the 1920s.[1] The few scholars who have studied national-anarchism conclude that it represents a further evolution in the thinking of the radical right rather than an entirely new dimension.[3][4][5] National-anarchism has elicited skepticism and outright hostility from both left- and right-wing critics. Some accuse national-anarchists of National-anarchist star being white nationalists who promote ethnic and racial separatism, while others argue they want the militant chic of calling themselves "anarchists" without the historical and philosophical baggage that accompanies such a claim.[2][6] The National-Anarchist Movement was propounded since the late 1990s byT roy Southgate.[1] Contents National-Anarchist History Movement flag Ideology Position on political spectrum Criticism See also Notes References History The term national-anarchist dates back as far as the 1920s, when Helmut Franke, a German conservative revolutionary writer, used it to describe his political stance. However, it would be the writings of other members of the conservative revolutionary movement, such as Ernst Jünger, which would later provide the philosophical foundation of

This thesis uses original research to examine how far the promotion of fascist views converged with mainstream opinion and identifies the issues on which British fascists went beyond the acceptable boundaries of mainstream society. Examining attitudes to antisemitism, refugees, the left, continental dictatorship and appeasement, culture, and, finally, the response of the mainstream press to the British Union of Fascists (BUF) and their reaction to what they perceived as a conspiracy against them, the thesis explores the possibility that there is a sufficient area of discursive overlap to locate British fascists within the mainstream. Significantly, comparison of the British fascist press and mainstream newspapers reveals that, while there were considerable areas of overlapping discourse, nonetheless, the underlying motivations of the fascists and the mainstream clearly differed.

  • Rebranding Fascism: National Anarchists - Spencer Sunshine
    Rebranding fascism: national anarchists - Spencer Sunshine A 2008 article from Spencer Sunshine on the organizational and intellectual history of "national anarchism". On September 8, 2007 in Sydney, Australia, the antiglobalization movement mobilized once again against neoliberal economic policies, this time to oppose the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit. Just as during the protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle,Washington, in 1999, the streets were filled with an array of groups, such as environmentalists, socialists, and human rights advocates. And also just like in Seattle, there was a “Black Bloc”—a group of militant activists, usually left-wing anarchists, who wore masks and dressed all in black. In Sydney, the Black Bloc assembled and hoisted banners proclaiming “Globalization is Genocide.” But when fellow demonstrators looked closely, they realized these Black Bloc marchers were “National- Anarchists”—local fascists1 dressed as anarchists who were infiltrating the demonstration. The police had to protect the interlopers from being expelled by irate activists. Since then, the National-Anarchists have joined other marches in Australia and in the United States; in April 2008, they protested on behalf of Tibet against the Chinese government during the Olympic torch relay in both Canberra, Australia, and San Francisco. In September, U.S. National-Anarchists protested the Folsom Street Fair, an annual gay “leather” event held in San Francisco. While these may seem like isolated incidents of quirky subterfuge, these quasi anarchists are an international export of a new version of fascism that represent a significant shift in the trends and ideology of the movement. National-Anarchists have adherents in Australia, Great Britain, the United States, and throughout continental Europe, and in turn are part of a larger trend of fascists who appropriate elements of the radical Left.

  • Essays in Anarchism and Religion: Volume III
    From Benign Anarchy to Divine Anarchy: A Critical Review of “Spiritual Anarchism” Anthony Fiscella Independent Scholar, Sweden Rather than assuming that such a thing as “spiritual anarchism” exists (a union of two highly contested terms), this chapter criti- cally examines whom the label has applied to, whom it could refer to, and how we might conceive its story. Beginning with a critique of subtle but significant legacies of colonialism inherent within contemporary terms such as “religion” and “politics” as well as “anarchism” and “spirituality,” this chapter moves from an overview of literature on “spiritual anarchism” (Sri Aurobindo, Peter Lamborn Wilson, etc.) to discussion of forgotten stories (Krishnamurti, Womanism, MOVE, etc.) and concludes with an eye toward future studies of “spiritual anarchist” praxis (Auroville, Alcoholics Anonymous, etc.). I. Introduction Despite more than a century of usage and an apparent increase 1 in people who espouse some sort of blend between presumably “spiri- tual” and “anarchist” perspectives, the term “spiritual anarchism” 1 In my search for discussions (rather than mere mentions) of “spiritual anarchism,” I found more examples in the last ten years than in the last 100 years combined (see Charts 1–3). However, through a casual online Ngram search of phrase frequency in English literature, I noticed that the early 1930s seemed to have ten times as much frequency of the phrase as today (perhaps due in part to the founding of the Catholic Worker movement or Sri Aurobindo’s publications).

    “On With the National Revolution!” An analysis of the ideological reorientation of the «political soldiers» in the British National Front, 1980-1990 Yngvild Storli Master’s Thesis in Contemporary History Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2019 II “On With the National Revolution!” An analysis of the ideological reorientation of the «political soldiers» in the British National Front, 1980-1990 “Legionary life is beautiful, not because of riches, partying or the acquisition of luxury, but because of the noble comradeship which binds all Legionaries in a sacred brotherhood of struggle.” - Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (For My Legionaries, 1936) III © Yngvild Storli 2019 2019 «On With the National Revolution!» - An analysis of the ideological reorientation of the “political soldiers” in the British National Front, 1980-1990 Yngvild Storli http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract The electoral breakthrough of the French Front National in the European Parliament in 1984 marked the beginning of an upsurge in electoral support for far right parties all over Europe. This process is often referred to as “the third wave” of right wing extremist and -radical parties. This master thesis analyzes the ideological reorientation of the “political soldiers”, a faction within the British neo-fascist organization National Front, in the context of the “third wave”. A common denominator among the political parties who gained any form of representation in this period was that they made an effort to distance themselves from their neo-Nazi or fascist pasts and renew themselves as political parties in order to break into mainstream electoral politics.
