American National Socialism

The “Dark Enlightenment” is merely a euphemism

For many years, a central project of the broligarchy, led by Peter Thiel and now Elon Musk, has been to normalize National Socialism, Nazism, and Hitlerism, which are slightly different terms for the racist, eugenicist, authoritarian ideology that drove the Holocaust. These billionaires did it through funding people to create memes like Pepe and to mock Democrats every time they pointed out white supremacy, through false prophets like Curtis Yarvin, through psyops like Pizzagate and QAnon, and through indoctrinating large parts of a generation of Americans into becoming addicted to hatred on social media.

This has paid dividends over the long term in far deeper ways than we have collectively grasped — and I would argue that they have successfully created an American National Socialist regime, which we are currently just starting to feel the impact of.

Why “National Socialist” instead of “Nazi”? Because what we are experiencing is the identical ideology of the original Nazis but stripped of the German culture and reformulated for an American, technology-friendly audience.

As I’ve written, the “Dark Enlightenment” is the name given to the pseudo-philosophy of Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land, who espouse “hyper-racist,” eugenicist ideas that explicitly call for dictatorship, but wrapped in snarky pseudo-intellectual word clouds crafted to attract intelligent, insecure white men. Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and numerous other members of the elite behind the second Trump regime have openly expressed admiration and alignment with it.

But a deeper look at Yarvin’s rotten oeuvre shows exactly how he feels about the Nazis and National Socialism — which he treats simply as a competing ideology to liberalism. While he waves his hands that the Holocaust was kinda bad, he agrees with the central ideas, and doesn’t hide it.

In one essay, snarkily called “The Holocaust: A Nazi Perspective” Yarvin goes into detail about how he doesn’t exactly deny the Holocaust, but…

Yarvin complains that he has “searched in vain for any readable pro-Nazi or at least neutral writer” but nevertheless plows on.

After the Holocaust, Nazi Albert Speer wrote a confessional book about his war crimes, but Yarvin complains that in the book, Speer “by the time he writes, has completely submitted… to conquering liberalism.”

Yarvin is saying clearly that “conquering liberalism” is just as bad as any crimes the National Socialists might have committed, that it’s a cult just like Nazi Germany, and asserts that our historical understanding of the Nazis was “largely rendered through the eyes… of secret liberals.”

In numerous other essays, Yarvin waves his hands mockingly about being a Nazi himself but constantly refers to “National Socialism” as a perfectly legitimate idea that maybe got a little out of control. He perpetually compares it to communism, which has also killed hundreds of millions of people, and loudly ponders why we never complain as much about the commies as the Nazis. Of course, this intentionally omits the Cold War from history — which is how he rolls, picking and choosing the parts that fit the white supremacist Upside Down he’s painting for his disciples.

As a simple comparison, consider the Wikipedia entry for National Socialism/Nazism.

Nazism is a form of fascism, with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. Its beliefs include support for dictatorship, fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, anti-Slavism, anti-Romani sentiment, scientific racism, white supremacy, Nordicism, social Darwinism, homophobia, ableism, and the use of eugenics.

Other than targeting of Slavs and Roma, which were the “illegal immigrants” of Germany, this is a perfect encapsulation of the “Dark Enlightenment” agenda. The German form of National Socialism has simply been replaced with an American, tech-friendly version.

To see American National Socialism in action, you simply have to look at what’s happening to the government right now. The very young men who were appointed to be part of the “DOGE” shock troops are all from Elon Musk or Peter Thiel’s companies. Two of them were given read and write access to the Treasury Department payment system, including Marko Elez.

Elez has been identified as an X account called “nullllptr” — since deleted. Here are a few of his posts, expressing scientific racism, eugenics, and white supremacy. Many of his posts connect to Dark Enlightenment promoters. Yesterday he was fired.

However, today is another day to push the American National Socialist agenda down the throats of citizens, so Elon Musk put up a poll:

This would be gut-wrenchingly clear enough, but the Vice President of the United States, Peter Thiel’s personal android, who is one degenerating old heartbeat from the Oval Office, weighed in approvingly:

The truth is, which neither Musk or Vance are hiding, is that they actually do agree with Marko Elez’s posts. Peter Thiel helped create the system that created Marko Elez and the other “DOGE” employees. Elez is a feature, not a bug, of an American National Socialist regime which will, as all fascist movements do, continue to exert pain and seize power, labor & wealth from the nation — until we get up off the ground and defeat it.
