Darre and “blut und boden”
My officemate wrote in interesting monograph on the subject last year.
The difference is that the Nazis believed in this, while modern high-level environmentalists are only Marxists in disguise, seeking more money and social control.
I say “high-level,” because I remember the Sixties, and the conditions that prevailed then.
Inflammable rivers, anyone???
If you read Gasman’s books, you discover that marxism and fascism interpenetrate each other on a couple of philosophical fronts, namely paganism and environmentalism, and that several post WWI European fascist thinkers tried to achieve a synthesis of the two. You also discover in Gasman’s work that the European aristocracies are up to their historic necks in both fascist ideology, albeit covertly, and overtly, in environmentalism, as a decoy and PR whitewash of their unrepentant nazi core.
Environmentalism is a form of fascism, not Marxism. Marxists and Capitalists were on a runaway industrial ratrace during the 20th century to see who could out industrialize the other. Fascism wanted to fuse development with environmental goals, and so became the originator of sustainable development. Check out William Kay’s www.ecofascism.com, or check out “Nazi Oaks” (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1597551929,which is an excellent summary of German environmental movement which goes all the way back to the early 1800’s.
