"Hitler makes us politically radioactive, we are better off not mentioning him"
"He was a foreign dictator that has nothing to do with America"
"He lost the war, why venerate a loser?"
"National Socialism was for Germans only, we need an ideology that is for our people specifically"
If we ignore the obvious de-radicalization narrative at work here, and the simple cowardice that lies behind these sentiments, they still remain fundamentally incorrect. Hitler remains the single most powerful symbol that we can possibly invoke. What makes him toxic, radioactive, and dangerous, is also precisely what makes him an invaluable asset to our struggle. I will explain this using a Jungian framework:
Everyone, including the collective psyche itself, has a shadow, the dark, negative, repressed aspects that are unacceptable to the conscious persona. When unintegrated, and repressed, this shadow manifests in destructive, harmful ways, including irrational violence, anxiety, and psychosis. It also tends to be projected upon others.
Hitler has become the shadow of Western Man. Our current moral order is a direct inversion and rejection of the values that he championed, the defining features of the liberal order, are nothing more than the antithesis of National Socialism.
Hitler, as our collective shadow, contains the following unconscious elements:
• The Power of the State
• Racial Identity and Hierarchy
• Masculine Strength and Vitality
• Purity and Beauty
• The Desire for a Mythos and Destiny
• The Prerogative of Life
Any movement that wishes to establish an order based on any of these fundamental principles will become conflated with the shadow, and thus will always be equated to Hitler. The more the movement adheres to them, the stronger the association will be. Trying to sidestep Hitler is not only counterproductive, but futile. The moment you advocate for the sovereignty of the state against globalist interests, for racial cohesion, for beauty over ugliness, for strength over weakness, you WILL be called a Nazi. There is no escape. This is the psychosocial reality of the West today.
In light of this, the strategic choice should be obvious. Instead of running from our shadow, we must seize it. We must integrate it. We must become it. By doing so we harness the tremendous, transformative power that this archetype contains. By ignoring it, and running from the powerful associations it holds, we deny ourselves access to the psychic wellspring of incredible power that it represents, and condemn ourselves to using symbols and narratives that can only dance around the fundamental truths Hitler faced head on.
If Hitler and National Socialism was truly irrelevant to all but the Germans, we wouldn't see the hysterical, almost religious, obsession with him throughout all Western nations. His name recognition wouldn't be comparable to Christ, or Muhammad. The Aryan race wouldn't constantly find itself accused of all original sins of which the NSDAP has been made scapegoat.
So stop acting as though you have the power to somehow choose whether Hitler is a symbol of your movement or not. You don't, he already is. He will always be whether you want him to be, or not.
