  • Anti-German National Socialism in a Fascistogenic Milieu
    fascism 4 (2015) 169-193 brill.com/fasc Latvia’s Pērkonkrusts: Anti-German National Socialism in a Fascistogenic Milieu Matthew Kott Uppsala University, Sweden [email protected] Abstract Aside from equating it with Hitlerism, there have been few scholarly attempts to define national socialism and specify its relation to the broader category of fascism. This arti- cle posits that national socialisms are a sub-genus of fascism, where the distinguishing feature is an ultaranationalism based on a palingenetic völkisch racism, of which anti- Semitism is an essential element. Thus, national socialism is not just mimetic Hitlerism, as Hitler is not even necessary. National socialist movements may even conceivably be opposed to the goals and actions of Hitlerism. To test this definition, the case of Latvia’s Pērkonkrusts [Thunder Cross] movement is analysed. Based on an analysis of its ideol- ogy, Pērkonkrusts is a national socialist movement with a völkisch racialist worldview, while also being essentially anti-German. The case study even addresses the apparent paradox that Pērkonkrusts both collaborated in the Holocaust, and engaged in resis- tance against the German occupation regime. Keywords national socialism – völkisch ideology – anti-Semitism – Latvia – Pērkonkrusts – Gustavs Celmiņš – collaboration – resistance National Socialisms as a Fascist Sub-Genus Of the vast and growing corpus of scholarly and popular literature on national socialism – usually pertaining to Nazi Germany – very rarely is this fundamen- tal concept defined. The reasons for this could be twofold. Firstly, it might be assumed as self-evident that ‘national socialism’ is simply synonymous with © Kott, 2015 | doi 10.1163/22116257-00402007 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY-NC 3.0) License.
