Using Fascism to Destroy Fascism
Using Fascism to Destroy Fascism
By Punkerslut
It is admitted by anyone with an educated opinion that racism
is harmful. It is a negative aspect of any society that it can
be found in. Racist attitudes are simply an additional reason
for people to hate. For some people, it is an additional reason
to become violent. Whether attitudes of racism are found in
mothers or fathers, daughters or sons, girlfriends or
boyfriends, no matter where they are found, the belief has
always been cruel and antisocial. In some families, a father
will disown his son, should he date a black girl. If the laws
weren't as humane as they are today, certain businesses would
deny service or employment to racial minorities. In some
universities today, students will be expelled if they date
outside of their own race. Contrary to popular opinoin,
universities do not exist to give the next generation the chance
to create and express, but they exist to indoctrinate the next
generation in to the habits and prejudices of their forefathers.
No matter where it is found, and no matter whom it is found in,
racism has always acted as an enemy of all that is good, kind,
just, and gentle.
Sometimes, I suspect, that racism isn't really the cause of
hatred. I sometimes think that certain people, by their
individual nature, are simply hateful. They seek outlets for
this emotion so they can express their rage. On what grounds,
then, do most white supremacists assert claim to hate racial
minorities? What is the cause of their anger for hispanic and
african people? If anyone should be curious enough to explore
the taboo of racism and read some white pride literature, which
I'm sure most of us have done, they will find the reasons that
fuel this hate. The claims made are numerous: Jewish people are
involved in a secret organization to control the world; African
Americans are cold-hearted, unwilling to work, and parasites to
the rest of us; Mexican border-jumpers are only interested in
America so that they can steal jobs from good-hearted, patriotic
whites. Among others, these are the basic arguments that racists
will use in spreading their opinions and propagating their
ideas. They are motivated, instilled with this powerful energy
of almost hopelessness with undying conviction, the two
precursors to blind hatred.
It seems that the other side is frequently guilty of hatred as
well, though. Some Liberals become so engrossed in the history
of the Third Reich. They will watch documentary upon documentary
about the crimes against humanity of which the Nazi party is
responsible for. For them, it is a matter of fascination, to see
such depths that humanity can fall to. They will always quote
the six million number figure of Jews killed during the
Holocaust, but they are unaware that several times that amount
of non-Jews were also killed during that era. Besides the
Holocaust, our country's Liberals will offer sympathy to the
lost spirits of the slavery era. Their hearts become heavy and
burdened when they read the books by Frederick Douglas and
Harriett Beacher Stowe. All articles of the Ku Klux Klan
activity and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. draw
their interest. Unfortunately, these Liberals are sometimes
under the impression that the history of African Americans
started with slavery. In the case of Hispanics, all good people
of our modern world accept that they have been mistreated,
raped, brutalized, tortured, and murdered by the Spanish
conquistadors. All of these moments of death upon death are
simply additional arguments of those who oppose racism. These
people standing in a new era will use all of these moments in
history as an additional reason to hate anyone with a racist
opinion, to ostracize them, to wish for their misfortune and
pray for their misery.
I've already made my opinion clear on these two warring
factions. I am completely opposed to racism, because I feel that
the good attributes that reflect the greatness of humanity are
found in Caucasians, Africans, Hispanics, and Jews, equally. But
still, there is more that needs to be said of these anti-racist
attitudes that have surprisingly arisen in recent years. There
is no doubt that the opinions of racist authors are particularly
unpopular. However, Liberals and others of new opinions have
always been so adament about hating and despising anyone with a
racist attitude. Some of them are motivated by violence. I have
seen peaceful klansmen marching in parades, giving speeches, and
congregating, all according to the first amendment of the United
States Constitution. During these demonstrations, the new
Leftists have shown up to protest. Here there is a peaceful
gathering of both sides, meeting each other face to face to let
each other know that the other side still exists in force. More
often than not, the Leftists will be motivated to violence. They
will attack the Klansmen. If you should ask any protestor
attacking a white supremacist, you will generally receive the
same response: "They killed Martin Luther King! They enslaved
the black race! They slaughtered the Jews all over Europe!" And,
should anyone listen to the whispers of a Klansmen rally, you
will know that they are united by the same idea of being under
attack.
I cannot ever fathom attacking a man for using his freedom of
speech. The White Supremacist has as much right to speak as I
do. The first argument of these anti-racists is this: "We are
all deserving of rights, no matter what our race or skin color
should be, no matter what parents brought us in to the world..."
Ironically, many of them add an additional argument to this:
"The only people who do not deserve these rights are racists and
bigots." I am completely confused. By attacking someone for
speaking racist opinions, you are violating the one principle of
civil rights. The idea behind Civil Rights is that every person
has certain inalienable rights. Among those is the right to
freedom of speech. What spirit are we keeping up with, when we
grant Civil Rights to one person and not to another? When we
grant ourselves and others the right to speak negatively of
racism, why should we ever deny anyone the right to speak of it
positively? Where is the honor in brutality against someone for
practicing their Civil Rights? What pride should our modern day
inquisitors have? Those people who attack peaceful Klansmen at
rallies are rightfully called inquisitors. It shouldn't be
forgotten that the inquisition of the Middle Ages tortured and
killed millions of people on the grounds that they were doing
the work of civil society and the lord.
In France and numerous countries throughout Europe, all racist
opinions are banned. All forms of media that promote racist
attitudes are illegal. In some situations, it is illegal to
possess any items that feature the swastika. It will be a day of
bitter irony when German police beat down a forty year old
Indian man for wearing the swastika, a symbol of his people that
existed for thousands of years before Adolf Hitler was ever
born. Any learned man or woman will tell you the same thing
about censorship: it only agitates the group you try to censor.
It makes them more ardent, more convinced that they are
oppressed. Censorship, like racist attitudes, simply creates
tension. It breeds violence and cruelty. The premise of
Censorship is thus: "Certain opinions, ideas, beliefs, and the
like are anti-social. We do simply do not like them. And for
this reason, it shall be illegal for these people to let others
know what they think, lest they should gain converts to their
cause." I have a great reason to suspect that the European
nations are less concerned with freedom and a thousand times
more concerned with their image in the global sense. Should
there ever be a newscast delivered internationally of home-bred
Nazis and racists marching in a parade down Berlin, the
government would be extremely embarassed. The classical
Anarchist can see all of this, the censorship and the hatred,
and they will sadly murmur to themself, "Nothing has changed.
There is simply a new group oppressing an old group. The men who
conquered Auschwitz and burned down her god-forsaken walls were
simply releasing new seeds in to the wind..."
The best way to express how I feel about the methods used by
anti-racists to achieve their aims is this way: we can use
Fascism to defeat Fascism. The progressives are quickly
forgetting the lessons of history. The laws that they are
passing against those of racist opinions are identical in every
way to the laws that were passed against the Jews of Germany.
When in power, the neo-conservative political parties used
censorship and violence as a basic method and means of
accomplishing their goals. Who, exactly, are we looking to when
we use the same methods to eliminate racism? Those leftists who
hurl bricks at non-violent racists in their little parades --
why do they not glorify Adolf Hitler or Mao Zhetung or Joseph
Stalin? Their tactics of suppressing a minority through violence
and censorship, the ultimate violations of civil rights, have
been mastered by the leaders of their enemies. And yet, they are
fully content to use these tactics.
Many disagree with the position I have taken here, that is, the
position that Fascism can never defeat Fascism; it is like
someone taking a lethal poison so that cancer cannot kill their
body. EVERYONE, no matter what skin color or opinion, has a
right to speak what they think, without ever having to worry
about being attacked or their house being burned down at night.
Some will tell me, "It is the ends, not the means, that we must
be worried about. Crush racism first, and then we will worry
about how humane our laws are." It is not simply the ends, but
also the means, of Fascism that has made all of us ardent
friends of the cause for liberty. The fact that the Nazi party
used censorship and violence to accomplish its ends is the first
reason we oppose Nazism. The fact that the Nazi party used this
program to cause harm to minority races is the second reason. In
both ways, they violated the Civil Rights of their citizens.
That is the primary motivation of all Anarchists, Libertarians,
Leftists, Liberals, Marxists, Syndicalists, and Progressives to
oppose the Racist -- not only is their end of Racism undesirable
for the world, but it is their methods that are equally
undesirable.
Another argument brought to me often is the argument that I
have not been the target of these racists. I have never been
brutalized, or victimized, or otherwise attacked by Klansmen or
Nazi skinheads. It is true: I am a white male, and at first
glance, the enemy of freedom will not see me as a particular
threat, either to the status quo or to neo-conservative
ideologies. There are some things that should be understood.
Just because a person has been victimized by a particular group,
Nazi or otherwise, it does not necessarily mean that by
attacking a different member of that group that you succeed in
accomplishing justice. If, for example, a person is attacked and
mugged by a gang of black teens, does he create justice by
finding and killing the nearest black man? Of course not. And
neither do Liberals create justice when they enact violence on
racists. Some people call me "the intellectual revolutionary," a
diligent student of history and philosophy. On the contrary,
I've squatted, been arrested, and have been raided by police
authorities. I've been robbed by poor people before. Sometimes
for a great deal of money. My response was not: "These poor
people have robbed me. Therefore, I shall abandon the cause of
Socialism and Humanitarianism, as these were meant to help and
improve the conditions of poor people." Finally, those who are
motivated to violence by stories of violence should consider one
last fact: every group that has utilized Fascism as its
fountainhead has always spread rumors about how "the other side"
has reacted in violence and censorship to them. In this case,
though, it's true. But it is these rumors and stories that are
used as a source of hatred, to inculcate a sense of intolerance
towards other people and other ideas.
It should be always remembered, my dear readers, that once the
revolutionaries in France had overthrown their oppressors, they
called on Thomas Paine to help them rebuild their country. Like
the friend of liberty that he was, he listened to their call and
arrived. But he disagreed with these revolutionaries when they
wanted to execute thousands. For his disagreement with their
methods, Thomas Paine was sentenced to death by the so-called
revolutionary government of France. The new French rulers were
motivated so much by hatred for their previous leaders, that
they were ready to satisfy their feelings of vengeance by
slaughtering thousands of innocents. Of course the oppression
given to them by their leaders was wrong, but to respond to it
by murdering people who might have been friends with their
leaders was an act that placed them on the same level as their
oppressors. My words of advice to my fellow brothers and sisters
of the revolution is this... Abandon Fascism. Adopt neither its
aims nor its methods. That philosophy of racism which has seemed
to be in decline should be allowed to decay; do not resurrect
its gestapo tactics. Should you ever need a valid reason for
living, let it be to love the creatures of the world and to work
for a better planet for all of us.
