On antifascism

These thoughts were submitted by an egoist-nihilist anarchist on Athens

IMC.

I would not even bother to participate in the ongoing debate, but some

of the latest comments from an ‘antifascist comrade’ intrigued me.

First, to be able to get the features of antifascist action indexed, I

believe one should determine the content of the very concept of fascism.

Fascism is primarily a loud and violent slap in the face of the

‘revolutionary’ who is recognizing revolutionary subjects in the face of

phantoms such as the society and the class, and is longing for uprisings

and revolutions. And how hypocritical indeed is the fact that social

anarchists shriek about antifascism! Because, essentially, their war is

nothing but a pauseless chase with shadows… They do not realize, of

course, how hypocritical their proclamations on social antifascism are,

since in fact this is a war on their very own substance. Because what

else is the generative cause of fascism other than the mass?

Fascism is not an antisocial plague; it’s an intrinsic element of

society. The massification and mob mentality, the need for ‘belonging’

are flesh of the flesh of the phantom that has chained up millions of

lives, and its flesh of the flesh is also the idea of the superiority.

And how does the ‘revolutionary’ really contribute towards this

direction, that poor fellow who is burning from the flame of social

uprising and the visions for justice and equality (chains that are

unbearable even for frank ‘comrades’), and is thus grafting class

consciousness and workerism onto the masses… Is this practice any

different than the practice of the State, which is vaccinating its

nationals with nationalism and homelands? Naturally, every nihilist

cannot help but laugh out loud and unashamedly in front of this horrible

nonsense.

Societists think that fascism got society in bed at the time that the

latter was simply masturbating. And instead of attacking furiously

against society, they use it as their own projectuality, as an

identification of their own ‘struggle’.

And is it not the same societists who are yearning for

socialist/communist societies? Much as you curse and turn a blind eye,

the truth lies right in front of you. Fascism and communism (don’t get

confused, I’m not talking only about the authoritarian kind) are equal

at the level of moral values, except that the first puts forward the

brute force and the second is governed by the servile spirit of

Christianism. While fascism is the death of spirit, socialism is the

death of strength.

And society does not take a stance, and that’s the reason why it is

exactly what it is. A phantom, a corpus non-corpus, nothing more than a

flock of stooges. And you expect some type of assistance from the social

swamp… But you ask from society to rise up against its own self! Against

its own nature, that deeply fascist nature.

Do you consider a mentality shift to be possible? But then what more are

you looking for, if not only for the guidance of the flock (it doesn’t

even matter whether it is a guidance in social, moral, values or

strategy terms)? You seek to become social shepherds.

And as for the politofilakés (civil-guards, or militias), things are

clear to me. It is not feasible to organize such schemes, since the word

itself contains the term polítis (citizen, or civilian, or national),

who having reached political consciousness is directly connected with

the providers of this very same political consciousness, the State and

the politics. Can there truly be an antifascist citizen? By extension,

can there truly be an anarchist citizen?

There can be both, societists will answer, the same ones who are

converting Anarchy into social alcohol seeking numerical superiority

against the fascists —that is, the aggressive fascists, since every

citizen is potentially such. But you forget that the social plebs lack

quality, so your antifascist civil-guard will be nothing but a

self-invalidated and self-destructive drove.

Quote: Fascism is every unjust, undemocratic and violent act, ideology,

sentiment or habit in politics, society, family, and relationships.

Well, so many of us are fascists then! From the great rebels F.Nietzsche

and M.Stirner, the rebellious philosopher R.Novatore, until the

nihilists of today, the straightforward comrades who turn their eyes to

the here and now, embrace the fire and unleash their unsacred attacks

against the State, society, fatherland, order, morality, ideology and

every other chain.

How much of a fascist am I then, how much of a fascist is the Antichrist

who is born from Fire and Denial and heading towards the pagan altar of

the Nihil? So, how fascist are Beauty and Strength, both values per se

that were pushed aside by the ugly and weak ones, and were replaced by

phantoms such as justice, equality and solidarity!

Is antifascism perhaps a case of the masses? Who could agree to this

while bearing in mind that antifascism is profoundly antistate,

antipolitics and antisocial? Now, all this must sound so silly to the

societists! The depoliticization of the author: is it or is it not a

prerequisite for antifascism —an effective antifascism, not an

autistically stereotypical one? For, is it not the politics which shapes

the citizens? Of course it is. To me, every human imbued with political

consciousness ceases to be a person, a self-willed egoist and

individualist, and becomes a citizen in the sense of the single

individual, of the social kernel. Is it ever possible for the seedy

harlequin, the landlord to act in an antifascist way? At the same time

that s/he is not only a vector but also a source of fascism…?

The same applies to both leftists (as if they are any different, being

citizens) and social anarchists, as elitist and razing as this may

sound. Because when individualism is absent and —thus— the individual is

being dominated by the need for social addressment or for ‘belonging’,

then this also signals the birth of another -ism (in the sense of the

system, the ideologized thinking) and by extension, the essence of

fascism: the massificated flock.
