Modern fascism: liquidating the Judeo-Christian world view

---

This book really helped me understand the essence of fascism from a religious perspective. I think it leaves out a lot of the political dimension, which Jonah Goldberg covers in his book Liberal Fascism, but it complements Goldberg's book too. I did not know the relationship between existentialism and postmodernism, for one thing. They are very similar nature-worshiping, anti-rational philosophies that came out of romanticism. The scary thing is that both provide a good foundation for totalitarianism and have in fact encouraged fascism in history. Paul De Man the postmodernist intellectual was a dedicated fascist, as was Martin Heidegger the existentialist. Veith shows convincingly that the existential/postmodern rejection of transcendence (a belief in a Creator God and/or absolute truth) in effect opens the door to an obsession with power-relationships rather than truth, which no longer exists for them..
