What is the "Permanent revolution" theory ?

Quote:

There is different tendencies in fascism : Nazism, Petainism, Doriotism, Franquism and so on. It seems you have a lot to learn about it.

Great, I try to defend someone from unjust accusations of fascism and "spread[ing] venom," and all I get is someone lecturing at me and being condescending. Why do I even bother coming here?

I admit that my knowledge of fascism is not as extensive as it should be, since I am a Chinese-born university student in the United States. Having been born in China - which was the victim of capitalist and imperialist aggression, though not of an outright fascist movement (Imperial Japan bore characteristics of fascist states, but it is not always recognized as such) - and currently living in a country that has not actually dealt with the scourge of fascism on our continent to the same extent as in Europe, the thorough exploration of fascism has never been truly a part of any academic curriculum that I have been put through. That I do not live in a country with National Bolshevik movements/groups certain hinders my ability to fully understand what the NBs stand for.

Nevertheless, I am well aware of the various strains of fascist movements: Nazism, Franquism of Spain's Francisco Franco, and the Petainism of the Vichy regime, out of the ones you you listed, and I am also vaguely familiar with the clerical-fascism of Austria, and the Iron Guard of Romania, just to name a few others. As such, I am well aware that many fascist movements indeed are both nationalistic and also anti-capitalist, and giving off the impression of being socialist as a result. One such example is the Nazi Party, which called itself "National Socialist" and even espoused socialist-sounding messages in their party program, despite being vehemently opposed to Marxism and all forms of leftist thought. A very irritating thing that happened was when a fellow student said that the NSDAP Party Program sounded like "socialism for Germans," which is made even more irritating that said student is from the former USSR and should know a bit about socialism to know that what the Nazis were certainly not socialist in the least. They were anti-capitalist, yes, but socialist, no - not that any of it matters, since the Nazis made an alliance with the bourgeoisie and military aristocracy and basically became friends with the military-industrial complex and instead became fixated on aggressive nationalistic imperialism and the acquisition of Lebensraum. I'm sure you know all of this, but I just wanted to let you know that I am aware of these things and am not as ignorant as you might believe.

In the context here, I was pointing to the fact that Moris here is very much against fascism and supportive of the leftist cause, and that despite the negative connotations that come with "National Bolshevism," NB is not even a homogeneous movement. Wikipedia is not the most reliable source, of course, but the current versions of the articles document some of the activities and splits within the NB groups, including anti-right/anti-fascist activities that they participate in.

Wikipedia article on the National Bolshevik Party wrote:

In Latvia NBP is active in anti-capitalist demonstrations and in blockades against SS veterans' parades during Latvian Legion Day.[25]

...

In Ukraine, the NBP joined other small parties in signing a Declaration of the Kiev Council of Slav Radical Nationalists in 1996, in an initiative led by the Ukrainian National Assembly.[27] The Ukrainian NBP, which is largely based in the east of the country is active in anti-UPA[28] and anti-NATO[29] demonstrations. During the Orange Revolution the Ukrainian NBP decided not to support Yanukovych or Yushchenko.

Like I said, though, I am not very familiar with National Bolshevism, due to a lack of exposure, but the impression that I have had is that there are aggressive, nationalistic, right-wing elements to them, but also that there are also left-wing nationalists under the same banner.

You should follow the path of the partisans and continue the fight against fascism. I dont think nazbolism is socialist, whatever they pretend to be. Their name and their logo is absolutely shocking, and this is a great insult to all the men who died to shoot down the beast.

Funny you should mention that. What happened to:

I don't think so. The Japanese government was quite fascist, and according to Zhu Enlai, the Kuomintang was also a fascist party (On chinese fascism, 1943).

Be reassured, nor in France

Quote:

They were anti-capitalist,

I don't think so. They said to be anti-capitalist, but in fact they were against "liberal" capitalism and developed monopolies. Auschwitz was a very organized firm ! You should see this movie (subtitled in english). A very interesting movie !

I have the vice of provocation. I didn't really thought you were unaware of fascism.

I don't think it is possible to wear nazi symbols without being a nazi. And even if it was possible, it would still be shocking, whatever their position in the class struggle is.

stalin. i am currently translating a book written by a former KOS general about that period and i assure you he has good sources.

Why did Hoxha said Tito tried to annex Albania ?

Quote:

one could argue that he was a nationalists since he did unite slavic nations in a federation while at the same time giving other minorities adequate freedom (which they had abolished in 1988 or so).

Stalin also wrote a very good book about marxism and national movements, but he was not a "nationalist".

Quote:

i still voted for them because supporting these parties are the only ones which actually oppose EU hegemony which is bringing eastern countries to the ground and i certainly dont wish for my small nation to transform into an EU laboratory like it did in 1991!

You don't have any communist organization ?

Quote:

the only thing they have in common with fascism is well-organized street-fighting force (although i think it was disbanded already).

On the nazbol website, a book explains that many nazbols were related to left-wing nazis. If the Nazbols are not fascists, why do they still call themselves NAZ-bols ?

You are right to oppose EU of course. But I hope this is not your only leitmotiv.

I would be very interested by the book.

Quote:

stalin wanted to split albania between yugoslavia and greece. he did so to appease nationalists in yugoslavia to overthrow tito. in 1945-1950 there were still many nationalist movements active. tito didnt do anything to threaten albania. hell, he put hoxha's cousin in charge of CP of kosovo!

Tito proposed an unfair trade union to Albania in which Yugoslavia would send finished products and Albania would pay with raw materials.

Quote:

and neither are the NBP. they are in favour of "imperial nationalism" or what i prefer to call old-style nationalism. this doesnt means they want tsar back in power (if you check their program you will see several anti-tsarist posters) however. it means that they are in favour of "nationalism of land" over "etnic nationalism". switzerland for example is a good of what russians call imperial nationalism where all nationalities work together to protect their state from foreign influences (for example there are practically no german or french secessionist movements there which is quite amazing).

I don't think it is amazing, because there is many fascists in Switzerland, and they even want to annex a part of France :



Why should there be French or German, or even Italian secessionist movements? The bourgeoisie has no interest to defend a split, because the country is very rich. Not like Belgium. And Switzerland has an old national history. There used to be a civil war, but it was not related to national identities. Anyway, a communist should not sustain any bourgeois nationalist movement and has to fight his own imperialism and his own bourgeoisie, especially in Russia !

strasserites you mean? i heard strasserism is very unrelated to hitlerism. where did you see that? i suggest you to read their FAQ here which should answer many of your questions; http://www.nazbol.ru/rubr28/253.html - they oppose idea "russia for russians", stupidity like "immigrants are responsible for crimes" and instead recognize that there is crime because of social inequality.they also explain why their flag is unrelated to nazism.
also, they are not called NAZbols, but NACbols. "naz" is anglicised version of their name.

Strasserism may not have been hitlerist, but it was still nazi ! I will try to find my source later, I am not sure it was Strasserism. Anyway, nazbols are like Strasserists without antisemitism (I guess). Thereyou can find a link explaining perfectly my opinion about nazbolism.

and even the symbol of masonry !! On the right, De Gaulle's call to resist Nazis, the symbol of the Republic (the phrygian) and their big boss, Alain Soral ((he used to be a member of the CP). However, in 2007 E&R joined the National Front, a fascist and racist party.

I was a strong follower of E&R, they are transcourant as in pretty much red-browns who form discussion group on how to resist the new world order. shitload of conspiracy theory. they hate the masons by the way.

the slogan is left on the side of labor, and right for the values. in short, they are anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, anti-multiculturalism, anti-euthanasia communist, they allow their members to be pretty much anything but they usually have something in common, pro-arab foreign policy ( they want to get muslims in their org as they believe they must unite this 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant population as equal french citizens) anti-islamophobia, anti-zionism.

the most disgusting part of this organisation is their homophobia, they are on the same side as the BNP when it comes to homosexuality. they don't want it teached in schools etc.

as for fascism, in quebec there was an example of the duplessis with a strong anti-capitalist rhetoric against the corporations, they were incredibly anti-communist yet they espoused many of their views... only in rhetoric, nazi government are all the same, populist rhetoric with little actual gains for the working class, even if done on the back of another people.
