Prussian Socialism 34: Dante's Inferno Halloween Special
On April 16, 1300, Italian poet Dante Alighieri was the first living man to see Hell with his own eyes. Guided by Vergil, Dante is wrenched back and forth from fear to wonder, giddy glee to sheer, monstrous terror. He beholds the torments of popes and kings, Romans and Greeks, and no small number of his own personal enemies. This harrowing adventure inspired his masterpiece--and the greatest work of Italian literature--the Commedia.
Seven centuries later, Prussian Socialism is retracing Dante's steps. Join us as we gawk and guffaw at Hell's latest inmates: Winston Churchill, the Hapsburgs, Bill Clinton, the Marquis de Sade, Chris Christie, the Jews, Boris Yeltsin, Tom Brady's wife, Napoleon and so, so, so many more.

Prussian-Socialism-Episode-6-The-European-Idea-of-Empire
Rome fell in the fifth century, and Europeans have spent the last millennium and a half trying to rebuild it. Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Empire, Byzantium, Napoleon, Hitler, the EU and many more looked to the Roman ideal.
Of what use today is this political history? Should a pro-White, Jew-free America-Europe form itself into a new empire? Or is would another political model fit better?

Prussian-Socialism-Episode-18-Goethe's-Faust,-Part-1
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was one of the greatest and most versatile poets of all time, a rival to Dante, Shakespeare and Vergil.
His masterpiece is the philosophical epic Faust, which he worked on for over 50 years.
In the traditional Faust-story, Faust sells his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for 24 years of sin and fun. In Goethe’s re-telling, Mephistopheles is bound until Faust is content with life (Werd’ ich zum Augenblicke sagen, “Verweile doch, du bist so schön”).
Faust, Part 1 is concerned with Faust’s attempts to find satisfaction in his personal life, especially by seducing the innocent girl, Gretchen. In Part 2 (not discussed in this episode), Faust goes out to work his will on the world.
Faust is generally considered the most important work of German literature, and one of the most consequential in all of European history. It is a great loss that it is barely known in America and Britain.
Greg Conte and Romanized Visigoth (“Roman”) recount the facts of Goethe’s life and the plot of Faust, Part 1. They then discuss some of the main ideas.
Translations:
Kaufman, Walter (Jew). Edition contains Faust Part 1 and a couple scenes of Part 2, German and English on facing pages.
Arndt, Walter (Dartmouth professor). Full translation of parts 1 and 2. Lots of good notes and explanatory analysis.
Turns out both translations that I have read are by a Jew and a anti-German traitor (Arndt). It’s not really a big deal. You can only screw up a translation so much.
There is also a 19th century translation by American poet Bayard Taylor available online:

Prussian Socialism Episode 19: Goethe’s Faust, Part 2
“Faust Part 2” is the ultimate expression of the European cultural idea. In this vast, 7000-line poem, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lays out his mature worldview.
There is hardly a topic that Goethe does not deal with: metaphysics, ethics, economics, politics, poetics, even geology. While “Faust Part 1” mostly sticks to the traditional Faust-story, “Part 2” creates a gigantic poetic-allegory. Faust ceases to be a mere lust-driven scholar and transforms into a personification of Creative Power.
With his servant, Mephisto, Faust travels across Germany and Greece, all through the ages, striving to satisfy his urge to create and to know. Along the way he meets gods, men, mythical creatures, literary heroes—the full imagination-world of Western culture.
In this episode, Gregory Conte and Romanized Visigoth (“Roman”) sketch the basic themes of this sprawling poem. “Faust Part 2” is not an easy work. Goethe was a 200-IQ genius who had comprehended Western art and philosophy from the Greeks on. But why does this universally recognized masterpiece of European literature get so little attention today? Could it be because of the Jews?
Books mentioned:
Faust, by J. W. Goethe, translated by Walter Arndt. This version has very good explanation and analysis, especially for Faust Part 2.

Prussian-Socialism-Episode-3-Clausewitz's-Philosophy-of-War-and-Politics
Carl von Clausewitz 1780-1831 was a Prussian Army officer and theorist. In his book Vom Kriege (On War) he develops his philosophy of conflict, according to which war is "an act of violence to compel the enemy to accomplish our will". He is perhaps best known for the formulation that "war is a mere continuation of politics by other means".
In this episode Gregory Conte and William explore the implications of Vom Kriege. What are the proper roles of theory, training and planning in war? How do Clausewitz's precepts apply outside of armed conflict?
We begin our discussion with the chapters on the importance of boldness and genius and work our way back to Clausewitz's ground assumptions. Along the way we apply his thought to the actions of Napoleon, Hannibal, Hitler and current day Russia.

Prussian-Socialism-Episode-20-The-Teutonic-Knights-and-Germanic-Holy-War
Everyone knows about the Crusades in the Holy Land. But what about the Crusades in the Baltic? For 300 years, the Teutonic Order waged war across the Baltic, Poland and even Russia to bring Christianity to the last Pagan peoples in Europe.
The Order was founded in Acre in 1190. After a brief stay in Transylvania, it found its calling in the swampy forests on the north-eastern edge of civilization. Under its Grandmaster Hermann von Salza, the Order established a military mini-state devoted to holy war. Trudging though snow and frost, its heavily armed knights and swarms of crossbowmen raided villages, built castles, and brought Christianity to the heathen.
Germans, Poles, Russians, and everyone else have often depicted the Northern Crusades as violent—yet glorious—race-wars. On the other hand, many modern historians have downplayed this interpretation. Who is right? Were the Teutonic Knights evil predators, noble holy-warriors, or something else entirely? Gregory Conte and Warren Balogh explore this dark and nearly forgotten chapter of European history.
Books Discussed:
David Nicolle. Teutonic Knight (Osprey Publishing)
Steven Turnbull. Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights (vols 1 and 2, Osprey Publishing)
William Urban. The Teutonic Knights a Military History (a dry but straight forward overview)
Eric Christianson. The Northern Crusades (a rather tedious academic study)
