I only learned last month that the real name of the (late?) Evropa Soberana might be Eduardo Velasco, although we are not sure because ‘Eduardo Velasco’ could simply be a pen name for the Spanish writer.
Whether Velasco is alive or not, now that I’ve been reading at least some of the content of the sixty-one long articles he wrote (which means I’ve already uploaded more than half of them here), I see an analogy between Velasco’s POV and Robert Morgan’s: both blame technology for the current mess. I, on the other hand, blame mankind itself insofar as technology is merely Prometheus’ fire that humans, Neanderthals as I see them in their present form, misuse.
Savitri Devi, in the book I am still proofreading, is also very critical of technology and industry. But she reluctantly accepts that Hitler had to use it to fight the evil world. Velasco and Morgan are more purists: they believe that technological civilisation is something like the apple of discord that led us out of the garden of Eden. I am closer to Hitler than to them because I don’t believe there was an Eden in the past. Think of the human sacrifices of the Ancient World to which I refer in my book Day of Wrath (see the sticky post). Or the TV programmes about animals showing carnivores killing herbivores in horrific ways (visualise, for example, pythons or anacondas swallowing beautiful mammals).
Pace Velasco and Savitri, pre-technological Eden never existed. While I believe that today’s man, whom I still see as a sort of exterminable Neanderthal, wasn’t and isn’t ready for the Industrial Revolution, a hypothetical overman could make good use of technology, after conquering the world for the Aryans of course. But for that he would first have to fulfil Delphi’s precept: to know himself. (Only after my fiftieth birthday did I devote myself to racism; before that, only to a long autobiography.) Thus, for the bulk of the population to know itself, and finally be worthy of Prometheus’ fire, we would have to arrive at Utopia. Meanwhile—:
‘The stars are not for man’—Karellen (in Arthur Clarke’s Childhood’s End).
The only way to present these ideas well developed would be to translate another of Velasco’s long essays, that here I called backup #24, and comment on it in detail. But I will do that only after I have finished proofreading Savitri’s book and finished my excerpts from Holland’s book.
There’s still a lot of work to do…

I don’t think is wise to see technology in a negative way.
That’s just the concept for tools, shelter, weapons, armor, learning material, etc. It could be used for good and for self realization.
What has been negative is the attitude towards it, especially by ignoring the importance of race. This has proven to be catastrophic many times in history, and, I believe, it has always been due to economic reasons. Greed.
Maybe the worshiping of Mammon is older (and more harmful) than that of egalitarian Yahweh & son. We need to overcome these while there is still some potential left.
And I would blame the luck in the culture war, the specific ideas, daemons, “gods” that have triumphed over the others. I would view the nation more as a formless shoggoth – irrational, horrific to such an extent as to lack a will to life – but all too suggestive to be able to become either a Christian golem of inferiority and ugliness, or something angelic and pristine.
Dr. Robert Morgan’s motto is not that far from yours – “people are scum”. The greatest challenge is to appreciate and fight for their capability of greatness without forgetting their base shoggoth nature.
(If transported back in time to Hitlerian Germany, you wouldn’t call its normie maidens profane words, even though the same normies now would be trannies, right?)
This reminds me a phrase from Thus spake Zarathustra: ‘What is the ape to man? A laughing-stock, a thing of shame. And just the same shall man be to the Overman: a laughing-stock, a thing of shame.’
See, I could never imagine a world without the normie NPCs. Isn’t it a spectrum ultimately, and even if you proverbially culled them, there would still be the less free-thinking of the flock relative to others? And a “shoggoth” mother can have an “overman” son. And returning to the previous point, a NS normie was quite beautiful.
I would go as far as to say that Germany’s decision to start another world war stemmed from their inability coolly to turn down the “god” of revenge. I.e., even the best had a bit of a non-sovereign shoggoth in them, as we all do (amplified by the fog of war of the future).
“I would go as far as to say that Germany’s decision to start another world war stemmed from their inability coolly to turn down the “god” of revenge.”
The treaty of Versailles was so onerous Hitler/Germany had to do something to alleviate the abuse (which it basically was) and fix things. I believe it was a French general, who upon seeing the terms of the treaty, basically said that it guarantees another war in about 20/30 years and that is precisely what happened. Germany was not anywhere near ready for a war and Hitler was basically bluffing the allied powers for quite some time.
If your focus is on the role of technology then you really should read kaczynski’s industrial society and it’s future.
Curiously, Europa Soberana (
JorgeVelasco) quotes him in PDF #34.Eduardo, not Jorge.
Right.

What do you mean by this?
That Eden (the ‘Golden Age’ that anti-technology buffs talk about) has never existed. Do you remember these comments by Gaedhal?
Well, these anti-tech buffs would disagree with you. I await your next post on the matter as well.
I do remember Gaedhal’s comments, I do not pretend to understand every reference he makes. I see that there’s a lot to fix in humanity, today, to actually have a proper Golden Age.
Personally I just couldn’t understand, why we as humans, have a say what does a Python or an Anaconda eat for lunch, if that was the case.
