What has been characterized as the European New Right isn't eve nclose to what we call the Right here in the US. Many of them advoocate for a return to a sort of 'pagan spiritualism' - the overall shape of their ambitions appear to be a pan-European quasi Fourth Reich sort of state. They are very much will-to-power driven, and some of them say as much. Having said that, there are also a number of points with which a reasonable person might find agreement - the disdain for and the call for resistance against Marxism, Islam and multi-culturalism to name three major ones. It's where they plan to go with their will-to-power drive naims that evokes echoes of the previous centurys horrors. And how did that 'will to power' express itself in our times? Jean-Francois Revel, writing over a century after Nietzsche, said of the Europeans:,
"It was they, after all, who made the twentieth century the darkest in history; it was they who brought about the two unprecedented cataclysms of two World Wars; and it was they who invented and put into place the two most criminal regimes ever inflicted on the human race - the pinnacles of evil and imbecility achieved in a space of less than thirty years."
It's not surprising that we're seeing the rise of one of the great evils of the previous century in response to -
and in competition with - the other evils extant on the modern world. Those ideas never went away, did they?
