Matt Koehl's groundbeaking essay, "The Revolutionary Nature of National Socialism" (1980) is now available online at the NEW ORDER main website.
Here are the introductory paragraphs:
"The true significance of National Socialism as a revolutionary idea as well as a historical phenomenon of fundamental imprtance has too often been overlooked or forgotten by its adherents. On occasion, its outlook and objectives have been confused with those of a reactionary right, while at other times they have been mistaken for those of the Marxist left.
"To dispel such erroneous misconceptions, it is useful not only to re-examine the role of National Socialism against a backdrop of historical conditions, but also to re-evaluate its unique underlying values. Only when the implications of that role and those values are more clearly understood and appreciated can each individual adherent achieve that level of commitment necessary to enable the National Socialist movement to fulfill its historic mission."
The German translation of this essay has been placed on the index of forbidden publications as a "danger to youth" by the German government.
