Nazi-Maoism: Jason Unruhe

Nazi-Maoists camouflage themselves very well, hiding their well-argued political identity behind symbols and seemingly left-wing jargons. But one thing mainly characterizes them;  every phenomenon of collective life is interpreted as an affair of international politics. In doing so, they geopolitics as an analytical tool with which they interpret every relevant political phenomenon. Social development is determined, according to Nazi-Maoists, by the continuous dialectic between national or macroregional culturally homogeneous blocks in perpetual clash for survival. In this global fight, the concept of state becomes synonymous with Nation, and this is assimilated to that of “The People”.

 Another peculiar feature of Nazi-Maoism is the constant identity and ethnicist claim. Every state clash is thus transformed into a clash between nations, that is, a clash between peoples. They reject capitalism promoting Third Worldism; they use both the thought of left-wing revolutionaries, such as Mao Zedong, and far-right figures ( René Guénon, Drieu La Rochelle, Julius Evola, André Malraux) they are anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists and anti-Zionists.
