I can't remember if I have read that particular book but I have read Griffin before. I actually read this the other week, an essay contained in his book Terrorist's Creed: Fanatical Violence and the Human Need for Meaning. The section on what he calls "Heroic doubling" is quite interesting.

I think his writings are quite good. The way I see it; there is fascism as an idea and fascisms as a movement, and in examples where fascist movements have taken control of the state, fascism as an actual governing regime.

I started reading Ballard's novel Cocaine Nights earlier. Not read this one before.

Most of the books I'm reading now are written by Swedish of Finnish authors and not translated to English. One which is translated to English is this one though:

"Munich 1919: Diary of a Revolution" by Victor Kemperer.

A book written by a Jew about the time when bolsheviks, mostly jews, tried to take over Bavaria.

It is a complete history of 23 Jewish families who were kicked the fuck out of fled Europe and moved to a "New World" Dutch Colony. Many of which lived as Crypto-Jews.

The book details their "success" via two centuries of exploitation of Native Americans, Niggers, and White Europeans from the day they landed in what would become Jew York.

All written by a Kike.

These threads used to get a good number of bites right after posting. Now though we're in coronavirus lockdown and they still get cricket sounds.

Not surprising though. Voat sucks now.

Ok I didnt read the book. (I’m not reading anything) but what do you think about palingenetic ultranationalism? Are fascisms goals a utopian myth? I read the wikipedia article. Who fits the the parameters of this paradigm today?

As I've mentioned previously, Griffin's concept of a 'fascist minimum' - without which there is no fascism is interesting. I noted some months ago how it roughly applied to @alalzia - a Greek and self-described anarchist.

The concept of national or civilizational rebirth rising out of a morass of decadence. That would seem to be the core of fascism as Griffin sees it.

The 'fascist minimum' could probably apply to most of Voat - including many here that don't identify as fascists.

Fascism relies on myth, but not utopian myth, in my opinion, though I know the book uses 'utopian' in the description in the OP. Myth in the sense of ideals that stir feelings and rouse one from complacency. Like most forms of nationalism fascism has an element of romanticism.
