O'Ceallaigh's Oasis

Below a couple of excerpts out of the Philosophy of Fascism by Mario Palmieri as relayed by Cultured Thug

"But with the advent of modern man, the scene changes. Man is no longer concerned with the Ideals of Beauty, of Law, of Authority; is no longer interested in the life beyond; is no longer living for the triumph of the Spirit within. With the advent of modern times man is simply and solely concerned with his own welfare, and since this welfare means only the satisfaction of his bodily needs and desires, a thoroughly materialistic view of life which has no place for the worship of Ideals, triumphs over and against all which had been held great and dignified and worthy in human life."

Liberty which means material and pleasure happiness is not Liberty at all. It is a lie.

"In the name of religious liberty he has undermined Religion; in the name of political liberty, nullified the State; in the name of economic liberty, enslaved his Brother; in the name of personal liberty, destroyed the Family."

"A thoroughly materialistic view of human life has thus brought about the triumph of the individual's animalistic will to live over the individual's spiritual aspirations, and the downfall of those institutions which took mankind aeons of time to bring into being and represent the true achievements of man on this earth. All sense of responsibility has does from that man: responsibility toward the Spirit within calling him to make of his outward actions the expression of an inward life, responsibility toward his fellow beings who become the tool and the pawn of his selfish desires, and responsibility toward the State which demands from it's citizens new generations dedicated not to the pursuit of the ego's desires but to the service of the Fatherland's needs.

A new dark age is still possible and it will dawn upon us soon enough unless we find again a meaning for life, a different purpose than the satisfaction of the senses, and finally a new goal for our efforts."

"It is high time, says Fascism, that the individual be brought back to the vision of his true place in the universe; it is high time that he learns how to curb and master his self. The day that he has learned how to master his own destiny, that day will sign for man his title to freedom, complete and unbound freedom, and will mark thus for him the birth to his true manhood.

Man must become, therefore, the master of his own self, master of his own fate. This is the call and the challenge of our times, this is the message of Fascism.

To rise above the power of outward circumstances and inward needs; to heed the call of the Spirit; to bring forth the divine in him, must be the true goal of man's efforts. Man must realize this freedom is not an end in itself, but a means to an end, or in the words of Mussolini: 'Liberty is not a right, but a duty.'"

Cultured Thug's breakdown of the aforementioned Philosophy of Fascism by Mario Palmieri

"The true Fascist works not for himself alone, but for his nation as well; believes not in a godless Universe, but in a universe which exists by the will of God; worships this God not as a remote, abstract entity having no intimate connection with his individual life, but as something from which he parted at birth, to which he can confidently appeal in life and which he shall rejoin at death; the true Fascist forsakes the realization of his rights for the fulfillment of his duties; strives to make of love an expression of the soul rather than an enjoyment of the senses; holds the unity of the family to be a sacred thing and monogamic marriage to be the supreme test and the true end of love; respects that hierarchical arrangement of society which, through successive stages, confers the primary Authority of divine origin to men invested with power to rule over their fellow beings; is willing to sacrifice his personal pleasure for the welfare of his brethren, willing to suffer for the welfare of his family, willing to die for the welfare of his country and, finally, the true Fascist is willing to forego all claims to personal freedom if these claims conflict with the realization of the true goal of life: the spiritualization of man." - Mario Palmieri
