This new book in the Concordia Scholarship Today Series examines how fascist views permeate modern philosophy, art, movies, and eugenics--decades after the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Dealing with a variety of fascist thought--from the intellectuals to the skinheads--Veith shows how the fascist's focus on self and human will is in direct opposition to the Christian's faith in a righteous God.

If you want to know why the country (and the world for that matter) is so screwed up, and you want historical proofs not just opinion then read this book. The author takes us all the way back to the Renaissance, through the Reformation, and then to the Enlightenment, where everything goes wrong, and stays wrong. This is followed by the Romantic era, then the Modern era. All the while the theme of fascistic thought is examined. This is nothing new but a direct result of Western civilization giving up the concept of absolutes for the so-called freedom of thought engendered by the Enlightenment philosophers. They may not have been "Fascists" but they sure helped the idea along. The conclusion is that although Fascism as a political movement is no longer active, its ideas are still with us, and getting stronger every day. Our politicians are fascistic and don't even know it, because they follow Enlightenment thinking (when they think at all). As you can tell, this book has been a very stimulating read. It shows us why our Western civilization, in rejecting Christianity, is setting itself up for disaster.

See How Fascism Springs from a Rejection of Absolute Truth

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

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. It was also encouraging to see that the confessing church in Germany was one of the few movements able to resist the Nazis, precisely because they made their stand on absolute truth in the form of traditional doctrinal confessions of faith. They won Albert Einstein's esteem for this. I doubt that the postmodern Emergent Church movement and others like them realize that they may be sowing the seeds of totalitarianism and are certainly robbing the church of her strongest defense against authoritarianism -clear theological truth found in Scripture.

Very worthwhile reading

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014

His book may have been published about 2 decades ago but it is now like reading the newspapers daily. So much of the truly fascist philosophy is now uncritically accepted and implemented in our culture that the book is unsettling in its prophetic tones. Sadly, most people, even supposedly educated ones have little understanding of what fascist philosophy actually is. Most use the term as an inaccurate label to tar and feather people they disagree with while they themselves actually hold and practice essential fascist worldview attitudes and behaviors. The accurate historical presentation and clear description of the fascist mindset makes this book a valuable read.

Interesting perspective on the consequences of ideas

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

This was a well done exposition of the links between postmodern thought and facism. It describes how some of the ideas of facists supporting the Nazis (such as Ezra Pound and Martin Heidegger) are now eminating from the university in postmodernism, and how these ideas lead to totalitarianism. It confronts the anti-transcendant, inherently irrational, and relative utilitarian ethical foundations of such lines of thought as postmodernism, existentialism, deconstrution and the avante guarde, and details the inevitable and disasterous consequences when these academic speculations are put in to practice in the real world. A short pithy read for anyone interested in postmodernism and its place in history. I really should have given it 5 stars, but now I can't change it. Veith is an excellent writer and social analyst whose books are generally short, dense and thought provoking.

Fascism - still with us.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

Not at all written in an "academic" or "scholarly" style, instead clear and accessible.

A very interesting read. Fascism is regarded too simplistically in our popular media and in secondary education. The author shows the intellectual & philosophical roots of the fascist movements of the early 20th Century, then goes on to demonstrate that those roots are still alive and growing in postmodern society.
