The Doctrine Of Scientific Racial Idealism
I reread and studied it some more. Slowly, bit by bit, I began to understand. I realized that National Socialism, the iconoclastic world-view of Adolf Hitler, was the doctrine of scientific, racial idealism—actually a new “religion” for our times. I saw that I was living in the age of the rise of what, two thousand years ago, was the similar rise of a new “approach” or world-view called a “religion”—a world view which shook and changed the world forever. I realized that this new and wonderful doctrine of scientific truth applied ruthlessly to man himself, as well as to nature and inanimate matter, was the only thing which could save man from his own degradation in luxury, self-seeking short-sightedness and racial degeneration. The doctrine of Adolf Hitler was the new “Christianity” of our times, and Adolf Hitler himself the new “savior” sent recurrently to a collapsing humanity by inscrutable Providence. Hitler’s and Germany’s “crucifixion” was all according to the inevitable workings of this unknowable Scenarist. Even the eleven hung disciples in Nuremburg were not without significance! The most hated and dreaded idea two thousand years ago was Christianity, and the most hated and cursed man on earth Jesus Christ. His followers were bitterly persecuted and murdered by the “good”, “sensible” people who could see that anybody in his right mind recognized Rome and the Empire as the solid, substantial thing in the world. I realized that today’s Marxist-Democratic world is another sprawling “Roman Empire”, and today’s Nazis the early “Christians”. What is going on is far more than a battle for political supremacy in the present social and political situation—it is the utter smashing and destruction of a society which has become so rotten that it will tolerate and even love its own Marxist destroyers—and the painful slow growth of the new Nazi society which will replace it, even though it is now the most “hated”, despised and feared doctrine on earth—as Christianity once was.
Such mighty, awesome thoughts do not come over a man but once in a lifetime, if ever—and when they do, that man changes for all time.
At once a great weight lifted off my soul. I knew that I had found my way to the sun at last, and the days of mental darkness, searching and endless frustration were over. But at the same time, an immensely heavy burden replaced it, but in a different—even satisfying way. I knew that I had to, I MUST do what I could, to spread the new and wonderful idea, and secure its victory in the collapsing world no matter what it cost me, or even if I were to become a “failure” to be “fed to the lions” in the Colosseum. I was as sure then as I am now that it WILL be done. Nothing can stop the victory of what is now a historical necessity, determined by events beyond our control.
