Good Europa

Good Europa

The kinship of all Europeans, and a rejection of petty-statism, which latter is nothing but 'divide et imperam'.

Good Europa is for us our spiritual destiny, and like many things was instigated by the European philosopher Nietzsche [to call him a 'German' philosopher is for me, too narrow].

To quote the following astounding passage from 'Beyond Good and Evil' (1886);
"Thanks to the morbid estrangement which the lunacy of nationality has produced and continues to produce between the peoples of Europe, ..."

Here we must note that he is talking against the petty nationalism which works towards internecine wars, and the break up of great cultures, just as Sir Oswald Mosley was to proclaim in the next century, Europe Herself is a Nation.
Nietzsche goes on to suggest that petty nationalism is used to secure immediate preferment for self-serving political who know nothing of the glories of High Culture;
" ... thanks likewise to the short-sighted and hasty-handed politicians who are with its aid on top today and have not the slightest notion to what extent the politics of disintegration they persue must necessarily be only an interlude - thanks to all this, and to much else that is altogether unmentionable today, the most unambiguous signs are now being overlooked, or arbitrarily and lyingly misinterpreted, which declare that EUROPE WANTS TO BECOME ONE .
In all the more profound and comprehensive men of this century the general tendency of the mysterious workings of their souls has really to prepare the way to this new SYNTHESIS and to anticipate experimentally the European of the future".
[Nietzsche, BGE 256]

Such a synthesis emerged briefly in the Rome Berlin Axis of 20th century Fascism, but was destroyed by the subhuman adherents of 'balance of power'. The efforts of the latter led to Europe being severed in half, between 'East and West' - such was the ignominy of their methods of rule.
