  A fantastic perspective on the American place in European politics, that I have been searching for some time for.
  
  Yockey is thoroughly a Spenglerian, and his construct of society, culture, history, and politik all stem from this great german influence. Emphasizing German Historicism, he bridges from Spengler's the Dichotomy between Kultur und Zivilization that reflects the spiritual and moral and materialistic and technical qualities of a Volk. Thus, recognizing the challenges the West faces, Yockey posits the place of NS Germany in context of European Civilization, and the model of robust Prussian socialism as the only possible future for us. In Yockey's words: “For the solution of its tasks this age demands the old Roman virtues: a warlike ethos, a sense of military honor, political and organizational talent, will-to-power instead of will-to-plunder, firmness, devotion to duty, the cult of conscientiousness. Since the Prussian idea agrees with the imperative of this age, power flows organically, naturally, irresistibly toward the focus of this idea.”(22)
  
  To lead up to this solution/conclusion Yockey first writes a historical timeline in Spenglerian terms, and also levies the complexities and realities of power in the 19th and 20th centuries that guided the western world to where it was. What I valued heavily in this section, was the extensive analysis of English policies and failures, and although they had been leading the west through the "Age of Economics", they would betray it during the "Age of Absolute politiks." Anglo-Capitalism-Democracy simply could not adapt to respond to the changing world around it, politik became absolute, a totalitarian cultural imperative. Everything became sublimated to the power and functioning of the state, race, blood, soil, culture, religion, economics, politiks, philosophy, music, everything, and I emphasize everything became a part of necessary European Cultural fortification against the ailing revolts of the "Colored world" (USSR, China, Japan, India, Africa, etc.) Only NS Germany understood the necessary measures that needed to be taken. And it is because of this inability to adapt (while being the head of Europe) that would led to the destruction of the European Civilizational project around the world (that took possibly a millennia to build up to).
  
  Thus, the world we see now, is a rotting corpse, a stain on the once glorious west, a pock-stained shell that refuses to be buried to give birth to the next stage of evolution of organic civilization.
  (This sort of irrelevant system being maintained, is why there is such abject degeneracy, and the abomination culturally as we know today.) Interestingly however, Yockey does not seem to lose hope in the West, incredible foresight for man who wrote this analysis a few years after 1945 ( I would have been beyond demoralized to witness such potential rise and fall). Despite the collapse of the Axis, Yockey still believed that an iron socialist destiny still awaited Europe, for "Revolution is an Organic Inevitability."
  
  This does transition to the current world that Yockey does live in, and he writes a controversial perspective on the differences between American and Soviet occupation. He views them both as foreign occupations but, to the outrage of my many Eastern European friends, states that the Soviet brutalist/mongol system would be better for the preservation of a European identity/culture than the Hyper-consumerist American system. Although my ancestors did pay in blood in the East, as did many of my friends because of the Soviets, I agree with this assessment by Yockey. The old Warsaw Pact countries are significantly less degenerated than the original NATO ones, but was the sacrifice worthwhile? I understand both points of view.
  
  While the soviets were a political and basic power overlord, this asiatic system was very culturally foreign, primitive, and "barbarian." And this barbarian is strong willed and resolute, simple in violence and control.
  
  However, the American system, with its comforts and "Wealth" was highly effective at culturally infiltrating the European soul and subverting it to "Alien elements" otherwise known as the cough* J cough.* that plagues our entire world today, through its host "America."
  
  These are my notes/paraphrasing attached from Yockey and gives great hope for us:
  
  The inner qualities of Europe that inspire a world system: 16th century Spain, 18th +19th century England, Ethical socialism of Germany in the 20th. *Consciousness of a mission* comes not simply from human politics or resolve, but emanates from a super personal soul, the organ of a higher destiny, a divinity.
  
  We must have faith in the future. Follow the path prescribed by our instincts, our intelligence, and our inner imperative, whatever happens to us will be good. For us there is but one mistake, one dereliction, and one crime: to be untrue to ourselves, follow alien leaders, and hold alien ideals.
  
  The internal enemy is whoever pursues policy other than a sovereign Europe. All the petty nationalists and foreign agents are the internal enemy. No European owes petty fake states his loyalty.
  
  The European is equal to its historic task. It has faith in destiny and ethical principles of heroism.
  The European will create the highest cultural political and national imperium of the wet.
  We shall transform the world.
  
  When they behold the remnants of our buildings and ramparts, they will tell their grandchildren that a race of gods one dwelt on the soil of Europe.
  
  Ave.

  I havn`t read Spengler or Yockey`s "Imperium" yet.
  
  Yockey gives a more indepth of the Pan-European Idea than other Pan-Europeans Like Norman Lowell and Oswald Mosley.
  
  Personally I`m not very into geo-politics and are more of an etnicist. Many Europeans are still too emotional attached to their current states or on states that used to exist. Pieces of land can be reattained but if a people is gone, it`s gone forever.
  
  About what yockey calls culture-retardation. Although I consider the cultural demise of European as a bad thing, it puts the emphasize more on race and etnicity. Like it happened in America.

  En väldigt intressant analys av läget i väst och Europa som fortfarande känns relevant.. Som titeln antyder argumenterar Yockey för att det är Amerika (i händerna på en viss etnisk grupp) och inte Ryssland som är Europas (och västvärldens) största fiende. Författaren påvisar att Europa redan då (1952) bestod av Amerikanska vasallstater ledda av landsförädare vars lojalitet varken var till Europa eller till sitt folk.
