Diary Entry #1: The International Far-Right Fifth Column I

August 30th, 2018; in which I— an infomammy, a revolving door of sorts full of Useful Insight, a rag to be tossed aside but not hung up to dry— torture myself further by believing for a second that truths matter more than belief, and attempt to explain away my well-informed anxieties all while expecting to be disbelieved, during which I will watch fascism unfold before me as I claw at its face for liberation

“Let them call you racist!… [You are] part of a worldwide movement that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary — bigger than all of it. And history is on our side.” — Steve Bannon, speaking to the far-right National Front party and showing support for its leader Marine Le Pen.

I been talking about the international far-right fifth column for about 2 years now ever since the antifa collective I was in in Syracuse found an Identity Evropa poster in North Country, NY. I was tasked with finding out more about the organization. The person who found it thought it was a fashion site because the first link took them to the merch site.

I was reading History of White People at the time, & had come to the conclusion that white supremacy, though it didnt exist in antiquity, developed from a lineage connected to Roman Empire fetishism. So when I saw the Roman bust on the poster, and all over their site, this was my first thought. My schizotypal brain tends to make quick connections through patterns like that. Lo and behold, their About page was all pro whiteness, specifically European “blood”. A couple of arguments involving me convincing the white anarchists that this was not simply a vaporwave clothing store (at the time, Googling Identity Evropa would take you to their merch page before any other part of their page), consensual decision makings, and affiliation group meets later, action married to my theories.

And so I voted to not retaliate during the consensus part of our next meeting, but to build a repertoire on these folks, where they were appearing, how, and why. What striked me as odd was that this group was primarily based in Europe, and somewhat in California. But that was not enough information. Obviously the internet would hold the answers, as it is the most obviousway news and mobilizing would have reached so far so quickly. A month before that, Nazis and confederacy-reactionaries harassed a Black student in Le Moyne college, near where I lived. I felt more threatened than I had in the South Bronx living in a grid work of police inhabitance and entrenching as a child.

And so I voted to not retaliate in consensus, but to build a repertoire on these folks, where they were appearing.

They made his life shit, deservedly so. BUT I was more into the big picture. This was not enough . My plans were to wide-stretching and so we had different goals. This case research is the basis for which the group I would eventually leave had outed the famous “crying nazi”. But after I had left, any members have been outted or, as the Right calls it, “demasked”, and it turns out the meeting spot was bugged. There also happened to be abusers in the group. I left in time.

Since then, I have been studying the Ukranian Revolution and where Nazis ended up, particularly in East Germany, South Amerika, and North Amerika, after WWII. I’ve been decoding and its fair to say the fifth column has reached North Amerikan shores.

This is not an isolated moment . Countries have historically used the lumpen/proletariat to install oppressive forces or otherwise encourage them to exert power over proletarian peoples and revolutionary lumpen. Most Nazis are lumpen but conservative and reactionary.

Keep in mind, lumpen spans class boundaries so yes some white collar people are also fascists. Most of today’s popular fascists have taken a David Duke, nice-face and clean shaven white collar look as well, using average amerikan political talking points to win nonblacks over, such as: immigration, anti-blackness, anti-semitism, sovereignty, “white worker” —ism, capitalism, libertarianism / patriotism / ‘anarchism’ but capitalistic, and other forms of introspective, protection-obsessed whiteness.

And if you follow my moment below you can see the connection Bannon, who had been touring Europe, as well as others play in placing and watering the seeds of international fascists movements which are all well aware of each other and connected often times through the internet.

You can also search “merricatherine fifth column” in the Facebook archive, OR “@lilith1yapo #FarRightFifthColumn” OR “@lilith1yapo #InternationalFarRightFifthColumn” on internet archives to keep up with my linkings-together of news that continuously proves my point: there is a cohesive far-right movement aggressively gaining territory across the many political battlefields across the world, which I am assuming are funded by entities that are not necessarily tied to any particular state, yet are heavily invested in a Cold War 2.0. Why? Because with a wedge driven through the Center, and the far-right already in power, it places fascism at an advantage. In other words, a more comprehensive communism that is not handicapped — that can, for example, also do battle in the dimension of of “idpol” — could not be any more necessary than it is today.

"Ever since the Enlightenment, race theory and its inevitable partner, racism, have followed a crooked road, constructed by dominant peoples to justify their domination of others. Filling a huge gap in historical literature that long focused on the non-white, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, tracing not only the invention of the idea of race but also the frequent worship of "whiteness" for economic, social, scientific, and political ends. Our story begins in Greek and Roman antiquity, where the concept of race did not exist, only geography and the opportunity to conquer and enslave others. Not until the eighteenth century did an obsession with whiteness flourish, with the German invention of the notion of Caucasian beauty. This theory made northern Europeans into 'Saxons,' 'Anglo-Saxons,' and 'Teutons,' envisioned as uniquely handsome natural rulers. Here was a worldview congenial to northern Europeans bent on empire. There followed an explosion of theories of race, now focusing on racial temperament as well as skin color. Spread by such intellectuals as Madame de Stael and Thomas Carlyle, white race theory soon reached North America with a vengeance. Its chief spokesman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, did the most to label Anglo-Saxons--icons of beauty and virtue--as the only true Americans. It was an ideal that excluded not only blacks but also all ethnic groups not of Protestant, northern European background. The Irish and Native Americans were out and, later, so were the Chinese, Jews, Italians, Slavs, and Greeks--all deemed racially alien.” — History of White People,
Nell Irvin Painter

Anti-right conspiracy theory or not, i’ll leave it up to y’all to make the decision to believe, since these day people are more into belief/non-belief than truth/untruth… I’ll keep laying down cold hard facts for those interested.

I recommend starting with watching guerilla training videos European Nazis put up, specifically in Ukraine and Russia to learn self-defense, but also to internalize that this is happening, and that these videos were filmed in color with Go-Pros and the like, not in Black and white World War II analog.

Some examples of European far-right militia with footage:
Azov Battalion
the Right Sector ( i would not be surprised if these guys are exmilitary)
Euromaidan

Personally, my journey started and developed with these:

I have no idea whether this specific arc in history began with Trump and Bannon (who made speaking tours around Europe for pro-Right parties in France and other places— tokenizing cis gay men and all), Ukraine, or both. I have friends who say Trump probably helped foment nationalism in Ukraine more than it ever has been. I wouldn’t be surprised, seeing how much control he had and has over New York City real estate, and how he exercised it, according to HyperNormalisation. But I do know for sure that this is simply another continuation of ontological whiteness and its inherent ideology of supremacy, obscurity, and assimilaton, asserting itself through the material mechanisms of capitalism. For now, its useful to take note of the patterns, and to strategize against these neo-fascist populists, deeply.

’Til next time, compeers.
