(An Answer to Jeffrey DeBoob)

first read Jeffrey DeBoob's ·Naziism, Racism, and Satanism'"

in The Blaek Flame. journal of the Ghureh of Satan. Since then
it has been reprinted in other Satanic magazines more often
than pny other article I ean recalJ. DeBoob is editor of his
own jovrnal Pale Reflections, which he advertises as "Satanism
without fascist/racist/authoritarian nonsense.·
Church of Satan
Despite his anti-fascist, libertarian obsession, DeBoob
manages to hang on to the coat-tails of the Ghurch of Satan,
while declaring himself to be "independent", although the GOS
Magister Peter Gilmore, has written:
"ln as much as fascism stands for an embracing of the
natural order and a rejection of 'anything goes' attitudes
that have hindered our society, particularly since the 1960s
, then fascists we are. " (The Black Flame Vol 4 #1 & 2)

COS High Priest LaVey himself has stated:

" lf a neo-fascist look- or outlook- makes for men who look
like men and "omen who look /ike women, l'm all for it.w
~ (TBF Vol 4 43 &4)

l~~ But Del}oob has remai ned mute on these pieces of fasei sm
J1emanating from the top of the GOS.
>"'J'/:lndividualism. Collectivism. Personality
-~ Turning to DeBoob's anti-fascist epistle, he begins by quoting
-~Mein Kampf, where Hitler states that the creation of a culture
'~ is predicated on the willingness of individuals to subordinate
~ ~their selfish tendeneies to the wider interests of the folkish
!. communi ty.
~-,_:r DeBoob's "Satanism W
is the type of "hyper-individualism"
~ 1 Hitler condemns as having a weakening faetor in Germany during

'I
_l!the Weimer regime. DeBoob states, "Hitler recognized that the
masses are sheep/ ike- but rather than depJoring this, he
applauds it ••. •
J
-- What's the use of deploring facts, rather than recognizing
-rt them when making State policy? It is communism that tried to
. overeome nature, ineluding human nature. Is not Satanism

f nature (as fascism did) rather than seeking to negate them with
t dogma? What of man as Wjust another animalw as LaVey puts it?
- Recognition of the herdlike nature of man is just a
realization that man is tribai like other species, and has
within that ·life collective· (as Nietzsehe put it) its natural
outstanding leaders, who must neeessarily be individuals.
National Socialism sought to harness the outstanding indi-
vidual to the service of the folk community (tribel. just as
the best is selected in a herd to lead, rather than let the out
standing individual waste and .r-o t; as democratic societies do.
To quote Hitler:·The progress and cu/ture of humanity are not
a product of the majority, but rest exclusively on the genius
and energy of the personality.·

of NS. However the NS regime saw as its duty the elevation of
the humblest citizen to the highest eultural level possible. 1t
also recognized that one cannot appreciate culture too weil

4fought back, rather than wimper as DeBoob would prefer.
h Let us take as an example the martyrs of the 1923 Munich

Cengineerl, Wolf{businessman).
Who ·is this worm DeBoob to cast aspersions upon these heroes?
;:Mer i tocracy
' DeBoob ne>:.tcompares Nazism with Medieval Christianity, both
being held as ftconformist· ideologies which killed 01' exiled
"the most creative and independent minds". "Nazism was arevolt
o F the street trash which Il'iped 01' drove ali1 ay the count ry I e
true elite", we are again reminded.
No, DeBoob, Communism was the revolt of street trash, against
which the evil Brownshlrts laid down theil' lives fighting.
The NS State instituted a meritocr-acy based o n talent rather·- 'I
than the selection of rulers by head counting, as in dernocracY.i
The Cabinet ineluded such~people as; Joseph Goebbels (doctor of
philosophy) as minister of propaganda; Dr Walter Darrre,
minister of agricuJture. whose advice as an agricu1tul'al ~xpert
 had been widely sought by European governments prior to the
.Nazi advent; Dr Wilheim Frick. Minister of the Interior, widel
known throughout Europe as a patron of chamber music (the
street trash!); Hans Frank, president of the Law Academy,
doctor of jurisprudence; Bernard Rust, minister of science and
education, who had twice turned down offers of professorship in
favour of a humble teaching position which he considered amor
practical way to help youth.
Indeed, looking at the 1938 Reich Cabinet, of its 20 members,
9 held doctorates, with others such as Hess holding degrees and
diplomas of some type.
Cultural Elite
It was precisely because Germany was reconstructing its
cultural life that some of the greatest intellects and artists
in Europe backed her. They saw the possibilities of a general
European cultural renaissance.
Arno Breker's sculptures and other neo-clas~ical art and arch
itecture adorned public buildings and parks. Intellectuals of
lasting impact such as Heidegger, and writers of the stature 0
Pound and Knut Hamsen declared themselves supporters of the
regime.
The democrats' answer was to bomb a defenceless open city,
Dresden, primarily because it was a cultural centre; and
consign Europe's cultural elite to death, jail or cleaning the
streets as part of wdenazificationw• Brekers sculptures were
sledgehammered by American GI's.
Wotan Archetype
The significance of National Socialism for Satanists is more
specifically that it tapped the Shadow of the repressed
European collective unconscious, releasing a great Dionysian or
Wotanic creative urge, viewed favourably by Carl Jung.
__ DeBoob ends by praising LaVey for having always rejected "w i t.t:
l~contemptW overtures from ·neo-nazis·, thereby defending the
wintegrity of the Satanic philosophy.w But what can we make of
-f
the association of Boyd Rice and Michael Moynihan (the former,
__,ii if not the latter, a cas priest) with the GOS. Or of LaVey's
-~ gift of an autographed copy of The Satanic Bible to NS
!

ideologue James Mason, whose book SIEGE was edited and

published by Moynihan and heavily advertised in The Black
Flame?
DeBoob ends with a warning that any association with ·Naziism"
·will derail the Satanist movement in to the junkyard of failed
ideas and missed opportunities.- Yet his own ideology, somehow
t
masquerading as ·Satanism·, is just a re-hash of 19th Century
.-Whig Liberal ism with the dash of inani ty that is typical of a
t member of Homo Boobus Americanus. DeBoob far from bei ng a
1: ·Satanic Adversary· of entrenched orthodoxy is just a- very low
grade promoter of the status quo, an ehoer of 50 year old
System cliches against one of the most heretical movements in
history.

Tbe Social Darwinist position
of most Satanists often seems
to produce an enthusiastic pro-
War sentiment. Si nce the West
has been imbued with a sickly
pacifism, as part of the
liberal package a pro-militir-
istic attitude by the adver-
saries nf the present System is
in order.
However we shouldn't 1005e
sight of perhaps the primary
philosophical foundation of
Satanism; that of balance. This
is something inherited by
Satanism from its Pagan origins
:t was somethihg most evident
in the ethos of the ancient
Greek and Norse cultures. In
opposing theliberal-pacifist
morality we should also be
mindful that the-glorification
of War per se can produce as
much imbalance as the present
elevation of peace as a mo r-s!
absolute.
Pacifism is itself a sYlllpton
o f a Ci vi Iisa t i on i n .dec line.
In countering the pacifist the
Social Darwinist contends that
War is an evolutionary mecha-
nism. It is one of several
instances where Darwinian
selection is misappl-ied to
society and history; a product
of the English Whig Liberal
credd of the 19th Gentury which
-distorted Darwinist theories
to justify unrestrained
capital ism.
War per se is not evolutionary
lndeed, it is often dysgenic,
especially since the beginning
of the ·historical- period. It
has been a factor in the fall
of nations and entire Civil-
isations which were often cut
t;;e
in their prime. Consider: who
are the first to die in war?-

stay at home to survive and
thus to continue their lineage?
- the least fit and able. -
Dysgenics in op~ration.
Let us quote a few biologists
on the subject:
ftln the GerlllanArmy about 10
million men were in the
fjeld; of thelll19% fell •..
of the officers on the
active list as many as 39.2
% fell, of the younger ones
over a haI f. A sacrifice of
blood was made by the edu-
cated civilian class. Of
the students who went forth
, a good half must have
never come back; of those
who went into the field in
1914, much more than half.
It is probably not tOD much
to say that of that tenth
of the young men of Germany
which stood highest in
mental capacity, most are
no moreW-Fritz Lenz.
WThe losses by the French in
the Great War (3.4% of the
population was killedJ mean,
as in other peoples who
fought in this war, a
terrible contra-selection
of the best blood ... •
-Hans Gunther.
Gunther went on to point out
that the population was being
replenished by less desirable
""'0
 elements via im~jgration.
Sparta, whose ethos and sociaJ
order were capable 6f breaking
the cycJe of cu/tural decline
as few other societies have,
nevertheJess coJJapsed because
of the perpetua I sta te o.f war-
fare which drained her popu-
lation despite the eugenic
poJicies and attempts at pop-
ulation expansion enacted by
her statesmen.
***
What is needed is areturn to
balance. Oswald Mos/ey and
other veterans who returned to
Eng/and from the First World
War founded the British Union
of Fascists not to glorify War,
but to apply its lessons to
peacefuJ reconstruction: the
·socialism of the trenches"
they calJed it. Their slogan
expressed balance when they re-
sisted the warÄmongers who
sought another war between
Europeans: Fight to live; not
live to fight."
Agression is an inherent
Iuality of the human condition,
despite trendyassertions to
the contrary by sociaJ anthro-
p%gists. When pacifism re-
presses the agressive trait it
simpJy breaks out in other ways
It might find expression in
thuggery or in sports; in
either negative or positive re-
adjustments.
The first duty of the State i e
to sec ure the protection of its
citizens. Therefore neither
perpetua/ war nor a suicidal
pacifism are desirable. Most
wars this century have been the
resu/t of liberal-humanitarian
meddling in the name of ·world
peacew• No nation should sacri-
fice its best blood in the
service of a war that doesn't
serve its interests.
