The Political Economy of Human Rights is an important two volume
work, co-authored with Edward Herman – also co-author of the
classic Manufacturing Consent – which provides a complete
dissection of American foreign policy during the 1960s and '70s,
looking at the entire sweep of the Cold War during that period,
including events in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Latin America.
For those looking to develop a broad understanding of American
foreign policy during the 20th Century this work has been a vital
resource and is now available to a new generation of scholars and
activists.
We now live in a Dictatorship; our country is no longer a
democracy...there is no freedom Get used to it Soldier will soon
have free reign on those without the Verichip to beat them until
they worship the Government You will be threatened to be put on the

A British Fascist in the Second World War presents the edited diary
of the British fascist Italophile, James Strachey Barnes.
Previously unpublished, the diary is a significant source for all
students of the Second World War and the history of European and
British fascism. The diary covers the period from the fall of
Mussolini in 1943 to the end of the war in 1945, two years in which
British fascist Major James Strachey Barnes lived in Italy as a
'traitor'. Like William Joyce in Germany, he was involved in
propaganda activity directed at Britain, the country of which he
was formally a citizen. Brought up by upper-class English
grandparents who had retired to Tuscany, he chose Italy as his own
country and, in 1940, applied for Italian citizenship. By then,
Barnes had become a well-known fascist writer. His diary is an
extraordinary source written during the dramatic events of the
Italian campaign. It reveals how events in Italy gradually affected
his ideas about fascism, Italy, civilisation and religion. It tells
much about Italian society under the strain of war and Allied
bombing, and about the behaviour of both prominent fascist leaders
and ordinary Italians. The diary also contains fascinating glimpses
of Barnes's relationship with Ezra Pound, with Barnes attaching
great significance to their discussion of economic issues in
particular. With a scholarly introduction and an extensive
bibliography and sources section included, this edited diary is an
invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about
the ideological complexities of the Second World War and fascism in
20th-century Europe.
Most people in the United States have been trained to recognize
fascism in movements such as Germany’s Third Reich or Italy’s
National Fascist Party, where charismatic demagogues manipulate
incensed, vengeful masses. We rarely think of fascism as linked to
the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the
guise of American free-enterprise. But, as Michael Joseph Roberto
argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began
gestating in the United States, during the so-called prosperous
1920s and the Great Depression of the following decade. Drawing
from a range of authors who wrote during the 1930s and early 1940s,
Roberto examines how the driving force of American fascism comes,
not from reactionary movements below, but from the top, namely, Big
Business and the power of finance capital. More subtle than its
earlier European counterparts, writes Roberto, fascist America’s
racist, top-down quashing of individual liberties masqueraded as
“real democracy,” “upholding the Constitution,” and the
pressure to be “100 Percent American.” The Coming of the
American Behemoth is intended as a primer, to forge much-needed
discourse on the nature of fascism, and its particular forms within
the United States. The book focuses on the role of the
capital-labor relationship during the period between the two World
Wars, when the United States became the epicenter of the
world-capitalist system. Concentrating on specific processes, which
he characterizes as terrorist and non-terrorist alike, Roberto
argues that the interwar period was a fertile time for the
incubation of a protean form of tyranny – a fascist behemoth in
the making, whose emergence has been ignored or dismissed by
mainstream historians. This book is a necessity for anyone who
fears America tipping ever closer, in this era of Trump, to
full-blown fascism.
By the time Matthias was in seventh grade, he felt he'd better
belong to some group, lest he be alone and vulnerable. The punks
and anarchists were identifiable by their tattoos and hairstyles
and music. But it was the skinheads who captured his imagination.
They had great parties, and everyone seemed afraid of them. "They
really represented what it meant to be a strong man," he said. What
draws young men into violent extremist groups? What are the
ideologies that inspire them to join? And what are the emotional
bonds forged that make it difficult to leave, even when they want
to? Having conducted in-depth interviews with ex-white nationalists
and neo-Nazis in the United States, as well as ex-skinheads and
ex-neo-Nazis in Germany and Sweden, renowned sociologist Michael
Kimmel demonstrates the pernicious effects that constructions of
masculinity have on these young recruits. Kimmel unveils how white
extremist groups wield masculinity to recruit and retain
members-and to prevent them from exiting the movement. Young men in
these groups often feel a sense of righteous indignation, seeing
themselves as victims, their birthright upended in a world
dominated by political correctness. Offering the promise of being
able to "take back their manhood," these groups leverage
stereotypes of masculinity to manipulate despair into white
supremacist and neo-Nazi hatred. Kimmel combines individual stories
with a multiangled analysis of the structural, political, and
economic forces that marginalize these men to shed light on their
feelings, yet make no excuses for their actions. Healing from Hate
reminds us of some men's efforts to exit the movements and
reintegrate themselves back into society and is a call to action to
those who make it out to help those who are still trapped.
2014 Reprint of 1942 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. R. G.
Collingwood (1889-1943) was a British philosopher and practicing
archaeologist best known for his work in aesthetics and the
philosophy of history. "The New Leviathan," originally published in
1942, a few months before the author's death, is the book which R.
G. Collingwood chose to write in preference to completing his
life's work on the philosophy of history. It was a reaction to the
Second World War and the threat which Nazism and Fascism
constituted to civilization. The book draws upon many years of work
in moral and political philosophy and attempts to establish the
multiple and complex connections between the levels of
consciousness, society, civilization, and barbarism. Collingwood
argues that traditional social contract theory has failed to
account for the continuing existence of the non-social community
and its relation to the social community in the body politic. He is
also critical of the tendency within ethics to confound right and
duty.
The first book-length presentation on the social origins of the
prewar SS leadership, this volume offers a complete picture of the
men who, between 1925 and 1939, joined the vanguard of National
Socialism and rose to the rank of SS-Fhrer. Herbert Ziegler reveals
that the Black Order was composed of people from all walks of life.
Young Gymnasium and university graduates rubbed elbows with former
gardeners, mechanics, and office clerks, while "old fighters" of
the pre-1933 Nazi movement climbed the ladder of SS ranks alongside
those who did not find their enthusiasm for Hitler's new order
until after the Nazi seizure of power. Within the confines of
Heinrich Himmler's new knighthood was created a people's community
in microcosm, furnishing many a recruit a vehicle for upward social
mobility. Moving beyond earlier explanations of who provided the
support for National Socialism, Ziegler describes practices within
the SS that were akin to a democracy of personnel selection and
that resulted, by 1939, in a leadership corps characterized by
social heterogeneity rather than homogeneity. Taking advantage of
the detailed information contained in the thousands of SS personnel
files located at the Berlin Document Center, and using the tools of
statistical analysis, he also probes the connections between social
reality and the ideological credos and promises of the Third
Reich.

The first book to present an analysis of Arab response to fascism
and Nazism from the perspectives of both individual countries and
the Arab world at large, this collection problematizes and
ultimately deconstructs the established narratives that assume most
Arabs supported fascism and Nazism leading up to and during World
War II. Using new source materials taken largely from Arab memoirs,
archives, and print media, the articles reexamine Egyptian, Syrian,
Lebanese, Palestinian, and Iraqi responses in the 1930s and
throughout the war. While acknowledging the individuals, forces,
and organizations that did support and collaborate with Nazi
Germany and fascist Italy, Arab Responses to Fascism and Nazism
focuses on the many other Arab voices that identified with Britain
and France and with the Allied cause during the war. The authors
argue that many groups within Arab societies-elites and non-elites,
governing forces, and civilians-rejected Nazism and fascism as
totalitarian, racist, and, most important, as new, more oppressive
forms of European imperialism. The essays in this volume argue
that, in contrast to prevailing beliefs that Arabs were de facto
supporters of Italy and Germany-since "the enemy of my enemy is my
friend"-mainstream Arab forces and currents opposed the Axis powers
and supported the Allies during the war. They played a significant
role in the battles for control over the Middle East.
If only John Charnley had avoided politics his life would have been
far easier. But in the 1930s young men like Charnley considered
standing on the sidelines an act of cowardice. Hunger stalked the
back streets of Britain and the slow drift towards another world
war that would cost 50-million lives had already begun. Charnley
could still have led an easy life and risen high in the ranks of
respectability if he had chosen more conventional outlets for his
political protest. But the chance reading of Oswald Mosley's
dramatic resignation speech from the Labour Government and a
fateful encounter with a street newspaper seller combined to propel
him along dangerous and unorthodox paths. He became one of Mosley's
Blackshirts and after many hair-raising adventures spent part of
the war he sought to avert behind the barbed wire of a British
political prison camp. What might have urged caution in other men
only drove Charnley on further: after the war he rallied to
Mosley's standard once again. He was back with a vengeance. Towards
the end of his days, John Charnley looked back and described it
all, both the good and the bad, for his hatred of hypocrisy would
allow no whitewash of what he considered to be his own
shortcomings. In this book he tells us the inside story of life in
the Mosley Movement and of his comrades and companions - men and
women still shrouded in mystery after more than half a century - a
swashbuckling company of political mutineers engaged in a 'revolt
against destiny'. Most of the events in Charnley's turbulent career
took place in his homelands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. But for
him life was to be no bed of roses.
In this second installment of his autobiography (following Kind
dieser Zeit), Klaus Mann describes his childhood in the family of
Thomas Mann and his circle, his adolescence in the Weimar Republic,
and his experiences as a young homosexual and early opponent of
Nazism. He also describes how, after the Reichstag elections of
September 1930, friends and family began to discuss the looming
prospect of emigration and exile. When Stefan Zweig published an
article claiming that democracy was ineffective, Klaus replied: "I
want to have nothing, nothing at all to do with this perverse kind
of `radicalism.'" After hearing one of his working-class lovers in
a storm trooper's uniform say, "They are going to be the bosses and
that's all there is to it," Klaus fled to Paris in March of 1933.
He became one of one hundred thousand German refugees in France,
losing his publisher, friends and associates, and readers in the
process. He describes finding a German Jewish publisher in
Amsterdam and the difficulties of starting a journal of emigre
writing. In 1934, his German passport expired and he was forced to
renew temporary travel documents every six months. The President of
Czechoslovakia offered citizenship to the entire Mann family in
1936 but then Hitler invaded that country and Klaus emigrated to
the United States. Despite statelessness, bouts of syphilis and
drug abuse, neither his pace of travel nor publication slowed. His
novel Der Vulkan is among the most famous books about German exiles
during World War II but it sold only 300 copies. Klaus stopped
reading and writing German in the U.S. "The writer must not cling
with stubborn nostalgia to his mother tongue," he writes in The
Turning Point. He must "find a new vocabulary, a new set of rhythms
and devices, a new medium to articulate his sorrow and emotions,
his protests and his prayers." This extraordinary memoir, an
eyewitness account of the rise of Nazism by an out gay man, was
Klaus Mann's first book written in English.
Hidden behind the veil of their secret society the group known as
the Illuminati have still managed to garner great attention and
acclaim. They have been blamed for everything imaginable such as
being the igniting force behind the French Revolution and being the
real masterminds behind the 9/11 attacks. They have even been
credited with assassinating both Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy,
because these two celebrated presidents made the unfortunate
mistake of trying to usurp their unquestionable power. The so
called conspiracy theorists say that they are hell bent on ushering
in their new world order which consists of the establishment of a
one world government, a one world army and destroying the
sovereignty of every nation. They are said to be implementing their
New World Order through organizations they are identified with as
being part of like The Bilderberg Group, The Council on Foreign
Relations, The Trilateral Commission, The Club of Rome and many
others. There are prominent families who are also said to be part
of the Illuminati like the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. But
are these assertions valid? Does popular society have it right or
have they simply misunderstood this secret group? Have they been
given a bad rap? In his revealing book entitled Who Are The
Illuminati: The Secret Societies, Symbols, Bloodlines and The New
World Order author Frank White takes a critical look at this
powerful underground secret society, who they are and what their
intentions are in a world filled with scorn for them. He explores
not only the true facts about the group, but also the urban legends
attributed to them, some of which are true and others of which have
been greatly exaggerated. For example, do they really control the
world and everyone else are just slaves to their whims and madness?
Do they have a stranglehold on the entertainment and music
industries and are the popular stars just puppets carrying out
their agenda to the masses? Did they really order the murder of pop
superstar Michael Jackson? These questions and many more will be
answered in this explosive book.
I purposefully made this booklet short. It is not written for
people who are interested in attacking the White race. I wrote it
for young people already in the movement or those thinking about
joining. It will be a small miracle to get any of them to read a
short criticism of "the movement" and impossible to get them to
read a long one. I have tons of criticism for racism, but these are
a few points I think people in the movement or on the fringes will
understand. Perhaps, I'll write more in the future, but this will
do for now. Hopefully, it will save young people from wasting a
portion of their lives in hatesville.
Savitri Devi (1905-1982) became known as the high priestess of
"esoteric Hitlerism" for her unique synthesis of National
Socialism, Hindu mythology, and the Indo-European cyclical view of
history in her 1958 book The Lightning and the Sun. In 1978,
Savitri Devi recorded ten hours of interviews on her life, her
thought, and her experiences in the National Socialist movement
both before and after World War II. And Time Rolls On, the edited
transcripts of those hard-to-find recordings, is an ideal
introduction to this brilliant and controversial thinker. This
Second, Revised Edition corrects a few mistakes in the first
edition and makes this important work available to new audiences.
Quotes from And Time Rolls On: "I embraced Hinduism because it was
the only religion in the world that is compatible with National
Socialism. And the dream of my life is to integrate Hitlerism into
the old Aryan Tradition, to show that it is really a resurgence of
the original Tradition. It's not Indian, not European, but
Indo-European. It comes from back to those days when the Aryans
were one people near the North Pole. The Hyperborean Tradition."
"It suddenly dawned on me, sometime in April 1929 . . . and in
Palestine of all places, that this foreign German leader who wanted
all Germans in one state and wanted the abolition of the treaties
of Versailles and Saint Germain, really wanted more than that, much
more. And much more meaning: the freedom of Europe, the freedom of
the Aryan race, from any kind of Jewish spiritual overlordship.
He's the one who's going to free us from that. Well if he's that,
then he's not only the Germans' leader, he's my leader too. Mein
Fuhrer. And from that day, I felt, not that I was becoming a
National Socialist-I never became one-but that I had always been
one, without knowing it. That's what I felt. And I started thinking
of going to Germany and joining the movement. It was the movement
of liberation." "I'm for a multi-racial world in which each race
keeps to itself, in harmony with the other races. Like in a garden,
you have flowerbeds of roses and flowerbeds of carnations and
irises and different other flowers. They don't intermarry. They
stay separate, and each one has its beauty. . . . I'm against
colonialism for the reason that colonialism infects the master as
well as the slave. It even infects the master more." Savitri Devi
is one of the most original and influential National Socialist
thinkers of the post-World War II era. Born Maximine Julia Portaz
in Lyons, France, she was of English, Greek, and Italian ancestry
and described her nationality as "Indo-European." She earned
Master's degrees in philosophy and chemistry and a Ph.D. in
philosophy from the University of Lyons. Her books include A
Warning to the Hindus (1939), L'Etang aux lotus (The Lotus Pond)
(1940), A Son of God: The Life and Philosophy of Akhnaton, King of
Egypt (1946), later republished as Son of the Sun (1956), Akhnaton:
A Play (1948), Gold in the Furnace (1952), The Lightning and the
Sun (1958), Pilgrimage (1958), Impeachment of Man (1959),
Long-Whiskers and the Two-Legged Goddess (1965), Souvenirs et
reflexions d'une Aryenne (Memories and Reflections of an Aryan
Woman) (1976), and Forever and Ever: Devotional Poems (2012).
A revelatory and controversial volume which attempts to balance the

This early work by G. K. Chesterton was originally published in
1915. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He
studied at the Slade School of Art, and upon graduating began to
work as a freelance journalist. Over the course of his life, his
literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging
from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective
fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian
apologetics, most notably in Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting
Man (1925). We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Right-wing extremism has become a popular topic, attracting a large
number of scholars. The success of scholarly forums like the
Standing Group on Extremism & Democracy of the European
Consortium of Political Science (ECPR), whose members come from
more than 50 countries, confirms this. This volume focuses on the
contemporary far Right in Europe and covers some neglected, yet
fundamental, geo-political areas. With different methodological
approaches, the contributors examine the far Right in an
interdisciplinary perspective, reflecting recent developments and
parties that are operating in a new globalized arena. They
additionally uncover how the so-called Europeanization of national
spaces is affecting the single domestic manifestations of many
political phenomena as, for instance, the rise of ethno-regionalist
movements (e.g. the Italian Northern League) as well as the
migrationA" of racist cultures and movements across state borders.
