Nazis – the original modern eco-fascist cult.

No surprise, that the current eco cult is intolerant. Look at their progenitors.

Eco-cults and pagan non-humanistic ideologies have dominated most of mankind's history. The modern obsession with poor mother earth is nothing novel – it hearkens back to the Oracle of Delphi circa 1700 B.C, itself premised on primitive paleolithic organisations 15.000 years old. Eco-cults have usually demonstrated an anti-human and pagan relish for intolerance; fetishism; and gross irrationality. It should come as little surprise that one of the most fervid and totalitarian expressions of any period of the eco-cult was of course the green ideology of the Nazis.

Not many in the mainstream education or media elite, would bother reading about, let alone discussing, the national socialist obsession with 'green'. The Nazis were pagan extremists on every topic from dieting to supremacist racism. Green ideology fitted in nicely with the pagan-cult worship the Nazis had substituted for Western-Christian ideology. Empires need unity and spiritual coherence and ritual. The eco-cult is a perfect guise for totalitarian systems, despotic anti-life regimes, and death cults.

This statement is true if one views the historical development of eco-cults and their paganisms. Such organisations have always been tied to elitist politics and power structures and are consciously designed to limit freedom and cognition. The cult must serve a purpose of course and it has little to do with saving mother earth and more to do with control, social unity, and superstitious ritualisation – which itself reinforces the elite and the power brokers who control the ritualised processes. This is as true today as it was during the reigns of Pharoahs; the temple masters of Jerusalem; the cannibalistic Aztecs; or the eco-destroying Mayans. Subservience over intelligence as it were.

The end result and logical outcome of an eco-cult is a system of anti-humanism and death. Eco-cults ultimately believe that the earth and its mother must be satiated, happy, pristine and cared for. The human comes second or does not count at all. The human therefore is powerless, not powerful. He is dependent upon the good will of the earth gods and goddesses, and his own will power non-existent. Rationality, effort, responsibility and achievement mean nothing. Fate is handled by the gods, and the gods are natural not human forms and phenomena.

Humans are thus relegated to animal status and are at best secondary as society is built to glorify and revel in the appeasement of various nature and celestial gods, spirits and Gaia herself. Progress, civilisation and enlightenment are incompatible with this eco-cult fetish of ritualisation, dogma, superstition and command and control. Every pagan-earth system ever developed has always collapsed from its own illogic. They slip inevitability into a death cult with the attendant moral, spiritual, economic and political decline such an evil entails.

The Nazi system is an obvious case of an immoral and contradictorily evil system imploding. The Nazis had to foment war, or else their pagan expression of animalism would have collapsed, including Germany's economy [most historical analysts are completely wrong and undyingly naive in posing that the Nazis had built a robust economy]. Part of their bizarre plan was to turn Germany into a green paradise – replete with mother earth worship. Consider the following about the green wing of the Nazi ideology, [a good book which would provide sources for the following is, 'How Green Were the Nazis?: Nature, Environment, and Nation in the Third Reich', Franz-Josef Bruggemeier, Mark Cioc, Thomas Zeller.]:

-In Nazi lore ecological themes were linked with traditional agrarian romanticism and hostility to urban civilization, all revolving around the idea of man being rooted in, and moving with nature.

-Neo-pagan elements were very strong throughout the Nazi leadership, above all with Heinrich Himmler, Alfred Rosenberg, and Walther Darré. Rosenberg wrote in his weird massive, The Myth of the 20th Century: "Today we see the steady stream from the countryside to the city, deadly for the Volk. The cities swell ever larger, unnerving the Volk and destroying the threads which bind humanity to nature; they attract adventurers and profiteers of all colors, thereby fostering racial chaos." The Nazis were very intent on limiting urban and industrial sprawl and perceived liberal-industrial decadence.

-Hitler and Himmler were both strict vegetarians and animal lovers, attracted to nature mysticism and homeopathic cures, and staunchly opposed to vivisection and cruelty to animals. They would have been fine spokesmen for PETA.

-The Nazis established experimental organic farms to grow herbs for SS medicinal purposes. They also developed green programs to grow natural-nature fed only food. Blueprints were made during the early war years to standardize the national German diet around vegetables, fruits, and non-meat based meals and products.

-Hitler was in part a 'Green' utopian, oftentimes discussing various renewable energy sources including environmentally appropriate hydropower and producing natural gas from sludge, as alternatives to coal, and declaring "water, winds and tides" as the energy path of the future.

-In December 1942, Himmler released a decree "On the Treatment of the Land in the Eastern Territories," referring to the newly conquered portions of Poland. It read in part:
'The peasant of our racial stock has always carefully endeavored to increase the natural powers of the soil, plants, and animals, and to preserve the balance of the whole of nature. For him, respect for divine creation is the measure of all culture. If, therefore, the new Lebensräume (living spaces) are to become a homeland for our settlers, the planned arrangement of the landscape to keep it close to nature is a decisive prerequisite. It is one of the bases for fortifying the German Volk.'

There are many affinities between environmentalism and National Socialism which ran deep and this is not something that the current Greenie movement should be proud of. Many of the modern issues enumerated by the eco-cult – natural 'clean' energy; nature-fed only foodstuffs; a rejection of urbanisation; a limitation on modern technology and industrialisation; a nature cult; – all of these were part of the pagan Nazi program. The only thing the Nazis missed was the doom and gloom end of the world millenarianism, espoused by the present mother earth cult. But the Nazis were only in power 12 years, surely they would have thought that up as well if they had established their 1000 year empire.

For the Nazis like the current set of eco-fascists, man was and is not unique or central to reality. It is the soil, and the blood in that soil which will elevate a people, a race, or all of humanity to sublime greatness. The Nazis believed in the pagan ideology of great supernatural and superstitious forces shaping man's and society's destiny. They had no interest in free will; individualism; responsibility or personal ethics and social morality. The eco-cult – intolerant, disdainful of humans, anti-modern – was the perfect 'spiritual' fit for the Nazi program.

The modern incarnation of superstitious anti-humanist theology is nothing new. It is perhaps however, given modern science and methods more sinister than past cults. What is truly laughable is when the current stock of eco-fascists scream that they are moral, and that they are opposing 'fascists' who want to annihilate mother earth, animal forms and even babies. Intolerant fascists calling other people the same does not make them relevant, intelligent, or even mildly interesting. It would be nice if the current eco-fascist cult could read about Nazi green ideology and maybe see the errors of their own ways.

But fascist minds are never that reasonable, nor that cultured.
