QUOTOGRAPHY: Fascism

"FIRST SHOCK: Fascism is probably the first anti-snob movement that has occurred in this peninsula since the days of Cato the younger." -- Ezra Pound, 'Jefferson and/or Mussolini'

"Fascism was born to inspire a faith not of the Right (which at bottom aspires to conserve everything, even injustice) or of the Left (which at bottom aspires to destroy everything, even goodness), but a collective, integral, national faith." -- José Antonio Primo de Rivera

"What a man! I have lost my heart! ... Fascism has rendered a service to the entire world... If I were Italian, I am sure I would have been with you entirely from the beginning of your victorious struggle against the bestial appetites and passion of Leninism." -- Winston Churchill on Benito Mussolini

"Fascism is capitalism in decay." -- Vladimir Lenin

"So this is fascism: a dangerous and aggressive movement, with even more dangerous and aggressive enemies. I'm afraid there are not a lot of good guys in this awful century, the 20th." -- Unqualified Reservations

"... the Ur-Fascist hero craves heroic death, advertised as the best reward for a heroic life. The Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death." -- Umberto Eco, '14 Ways of Looking at a Blackshirt'

"Anti-Fascism is the new Fascism." -- ?

"Fascism is... most misused, and over-used word of our times." -- Richard Griffiths, 2005

Reactionary Icons (i.)

PIER PAOLO PASOLINI

"... poliziotti figli di proletari meridionali picchiati da figli di papà in vena di bravate".

"But Pasolini's romantic, even, one might say, reactionary belief in the primitive, instinctual body as the touchstone of reality..."

"Bertolucci is reported to have said that the Trilogy could only be the work of a "reactionary poet".

"Despite his reputation for sexual radicalism, Pasolini's attitudes were in many respects downright reactionary".

Bureaucrassy

I spent a lot of time in various Italian bureaucratic engines: Polizia di Stato, the Questura, etc... and they all seem to have one thing in common. When I need a form (and everything here requires some form or another) they invariably look on their local system, then on the network/WAN, then, finally, they always turn to Google for the form in question. A few unrefined search terms later, they finally print it out for me.

That Google has a better grip on Italian bureaucracy than the 'proper' state organs is only fitting. Don't act so surprised.

Ah, sweet, sweet Dhimmitude

Coming soon to a European country near you! Some are even lucky enough to have accelerated the process!

I'm curious as to why the militantly anti-Christian so common in Europe are oblivious to the cancerous toxin spreading under their very own nose? I'm pretty sure that their little marches and e-petitions won't yield many results when Sharia law is firmly in place. Is this the definition of irony?

Industria Inc.

There are many pieces of graffiti around this city calling for the nationalization of Fiat (in essence, for the Italian government to purchase Fiat), often accompanied by the usual hammer & sickle. I propose a different course of action: for Fiat to buy the Italian government, and liquidate any and all insolvent departments or ministries. Perhaps then (perhaps only then) virtue & industriousness could return to the Peninsula.

What is wrong with Italy (i.)

(One of many reasons) Why Italy is going downhill:

Lapo Elkann; he pees sitting down.
His grandfather (see below) would be very, very ashamed. Luckily he passed away gracefully a year before Lapo was found drugged out and hanging out with his favorite tranny.

Gianni Agnelli; one of the best dressed men in Italy and a very friendly & industrious man.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mirafiori closed doors within a year or two. I hope angry workers take our their rage out exclusively on Lapo, though I doubt it since a degenerate such as himself being in such a lofty position is a reflection of Italian society itself. (I doubt they even teach Boccacio in school anymore).

Let it be written here for all to see: if Italy were ever to revive her glorious tradition of duelling, Lapo Elkann would be my first (but not last) competitor.

"Aucun incident majeur"

More incidents in France by, um, "youths"... albeit relatively minor.

Cause: Mohamed Benmouna, 21, of Firminy was picked up by the local police and brought in for questioning, accused of extortion. He decided to hang himself in his cell.

Effect: Five cars destroyed, one building damaged. Relatively minor compared to the norm, but this is business as usual, a more or less an every day occurrence.

Solution: Hire Chinese police & paramilitary elements to put down these little ethnic revolts, once and for all.

Thought: What we're seeing in France are essentially irregular paramilitary gangs held together by ethnic ties, operating in dozens of French cities. There was a time, perhaps not too long ago, when the very idea of this reality would have provoked disbelief. I hope my local Ladbrokes office will begin offering quotes for the French Civil War.

Pulling a fast one in Honduras

So (ex-)President Manuel Zelaya, perhaps at the behest of Hugo Chavez, was trying to pull a fast one on the Honduran nation when the Supreme Court caught wind of the stench and ordered his arrest and the Army, probably the only capable institution with any organization in the country, executed the request-- who else could have done it peacefully? How is this a coup? How is this undemocratic? It is the will of a great part of the people and of the legal body of Honduras.

I support Roberto Micheletti, especially since he's a supporter of Atalanta. I don't particularly care if he has 'democratic' inclinations, only that he was surely the most logical choice to fill the void once Zelaya was ousted in a quite orderly and quite legal fashion.

Obama (in league with a number of Latin American leaders under Venezuela's sway) is quick to defend 'Democracy' no matter what the cost, even if his protege in Honduras isn't particularly committed to 'Democratic' principles to begin with (which is what led to his arrest and exile!), and even if returning Manuel Zelaya to power would be a detriment to American policy in the region. Perhaps he's simply afraid of encouraging a so-called 'military coup' publicly, or perhaps Obama is in fact a Venezuelan mole. As Mr. Moldbug put it; "Barack Obama gives an excellent press conference, but I have no idea what his role, if any, is in the Obama administration. Maybe he contributes a lot in the meetings ..."

End note: If this is the best 'military coup' Latin American can produce in this day and age, I weep for the future... the boring, boring future. Regardless I'll spend a great deal of time today scouring the web for news on Zelaya's planned return to Honduras. Let us hope for the best. Let us hope for some action. Let us hope for some change we can believe in.

Open question to the anti-Occidental 'Right' and other assorted Jew-baiters

Circa 2045 A.D., when the French population is trying, perhaps in vain, to recover Marseilles or Roubaix or certain Parisian suburbs, will you call it Gaulish Zionism, or the horrific French genocide of Arabs in Marrakesh-on-the-Seine? Or perhaps the abominable Frankish aggression, no... Crusade against a peaceful people who, after all, have always lived there?

I wonder what Charles Martel would think of that? Or what he think of the Collaborators on both the 'left' and 'right' enabling these colonists?

Holland to be considered harmful some day

“She was raped, but she was not angry. The journalist who went looking for the Taliban in Afghanistan saw her curiosity end in a cruel ordeal of multiple rape. While this would make others angry or sad, this journalist shows understanding. She says: ‘They also respected me.’ And she was given tea and biscuits.”

I wonder how Joanie de Rijke would have reacted if it were a native Dutchman (evil white man; root of all ills) as opposed to a noble, freedom-loving Taliban (known for their valiant defense against American interlopers, when not promoting the rights of women in their communities) who raped her? And what if he had the courtesy to offer tea and biscuits after the fact?
