Readings on Fascism and National Socialism: Selected by members of the department of philosophy, University of Colorado
Various
Fascism; National socialism
This whole concept of the state [parliamentary democracy] is
replaced by National Socialism with a basically different
concept. National Socialism recognizes that, although the
individual racial strains in German-speaking territory
differ, they nevertheless belong to closely related races,
and that many mixtures among the members of these different
branches have produced new and vital strains, among them the
complex but still _German_ man, but that a mixture with the
Jewish enemy race, which in its whole spiritual and physical
structure is basically different and antagonistic and has
strong resemblances to the peoples of the Near East, can
only result in bastardization.[41]
True to the tradition of German imperialism, Rosenberg does not
confine his ideas of racial supremacy to the Germans in the Reich
alone. He even extends them to the United States, where he envisages
the day when the awakening German element will realize its destiny in
this country. In _Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts_, for example, he
writes, "After throwing off the worn-out idea upon which it was
founded ... i.e., after the destruction of the idea represented by New
York, the United States of North America has the great task ... of
setting out with youthful energy to put into force the new
racial-state idea which a few awakened Americans have already
foreseen."[42]
This idea was developed at length by the German geopolitician, Colin
Ross. In his book _Unser Amerika_ (_Our America_) (document 4, _post_
p. 178), published in 1936, Ross develops the thesis that the German
element in the United States has contributed all that is best in
American life and civilization and urges it to become conscious of its
racial heritage and to prepare for the day when it may take over
complete control of the country.
