Frightening facts about Nazism in America continue to be exposed by
Professor Rex Curry.
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html Dr. Curry showed
that the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party originated
from a National Socialist in America -Francis Bellamy- who wrote the Pledge
of Allegiance in 1892. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html New
discoveries expose the "swastika" of the first American National Socialists
(below).
Francis Bellamy was the cousin of Edward Bellamy, the head of the
Nationalism movement in America at that time, and the founder of the
Nationalist Party. In November, 1888, Bellamy personally made a contract
with an interpreter to translate Looking Backward into German. (see the
biography by Arthur Morgan, p. 65). In 1891, American advertisements listed
German-language editions of Edward Bellamy's international bestseller
Looking Backward and stated that the socialist's novel "Lays the foundation
of the Nationalist Movement."
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-edward1891.pdf The adverstisements
coincide with Edward Bellamy's "Nationalist" magazine, published by the
"Nationalist Educational Association."
http://rexcurry.net/nationalistmagazine.jpg It has been said that the
Bellamys were "more Nazi than the Nazis."
Bellamy's comments in the Sprinfield Union newspaper show his glorification
of German folk life. According to the biographer Sylvia E. Bowman, "To
Bellamy, Americans had much to learn from the Germans who enjoyed nature,
had outdoor summer houses and beer gardens, and from all of these, had found
a placid contentment which contrasted to the hustle and bustle of American
life."
In 1935, Columbia University requested three people (John Dewey, a
philosopher; Charles Beard, a historian; and Edward Weeks, the editor of
Atlantic Monthly) to list the ten most influential books of the preceding 50
years (from 1885 to 1935). On all three lists, prepared independently,
Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward appeared second on the list, the first
being Karl Marx's Das Kapital. It is important to remember that during this
time of Bellamy's great influence, the National Socialist German Workers'
Party had been in existence since 1920, with electoral breakthroughs in
1930, and dictatorship in 1933. Many writers have suggested that Bellamy
was viewed as an alternative to Marx, and that view raised his influence
among German National Socialists.
According to Gail Collins "...far more American workers read Looking
Backward than ever made it through Marx..." Tomorrow Never Knows, The
Nation, Vol. 252, Issue # 2, January 21, 1991. The book was "debated by all
down to the bootblack on the corner," reported Henry Demarest Lloyd in 1894.
The book, Edward Bellamy Abroad, by Sylvia E. Bowman, is an amazing 543
pages of evidence that Edward Bellamy's scheme for an "industrial army"
(openly modeled after the military) was a bad influence upon WWII and the
socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the National
Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million); the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (62 million people slaughtered); the People's Republic of China
(35 million). (Also see http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html and
http://rexcurry.net/socialists.jpg ) In Bowman's chapter on Germany alone,
there are 54 pages, with comments about the monstrous National Socialist
German Workers' Party, mentioning the similarities in Bellamy's philosophy.
Looking Backward became an international bestseller, translated into every
major language, including German, and it inspired military socialism
worldwide. The book, described by socialists as the "Bible of Nationalism,"
inspired the creation of 167 "Nationalist Clubs" worldwide, including
Germany. Bellamy nationalists focused on nationalism ("my country over
others"), rabid patriotism (e.g. Pledges of Allegiance with the original
straight-arm salute), and their interest in nationalization, or public
ownership and management of everything. Bellamy's influence was still going
strong after in 1938 with the publication of Bellamy's "Talks on
Nationalism." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt imposed national
socialism and socialist slave numbers (social security) in 1935 as a
"worker's" program for Roosevelt's vision of the industrial army that
coincided with similar numbering programs of the National Socialist German
Workers' Party. During that time children in government-schools were
required by law to salute the flag with the straight-armed salute in
military formation daily on the ring of a government bell, like Pavlov's
lapdogs of the state. Bellamy's "Talks on Nationalism" is a terrifying look
at the parallels between American National Socialists and German National
Socialists.
German National Socialism was supported by American National Socialism via
German-Americans who joined the German American Bund movement
(Deutsch-Amerikanischer Volksbund) to support national socialists in Germany
before WWII. http://rexcurry.net/pledgebund.html The bund began as the
Friends of New Germany in Chicago in 1933. This group traced its roots to
the Teutonia Society and National Socialist Party, both active in the USA
during the 1920s.
From 1868 to 1869, Edward Bellamy spent a year in Germany, learning to speak
and write German and attending lectures and studying German socialism.
Edward Bellamy even wrote A Süd Deutsch Volklied (South German Peoples'
Song) in German on the inside cover of his notebook, and dated "Granada,
Jan. 4, 1878." (see Arthur Morgan's Edward Bellamy from Columbia University
Press 1944).
Edward's brother Frederick stated that Edward had talked and read about
socialism before Edward went to Germany. Frederick wrote that Edward's
letters to him from Germany were full of German socialism which "he had read
and studied much at home." (see Sylvia E. Bowman's 1958 book The Year 2000).
While Bellamy was in Germany, the first German unions were founded and the
German Workers' Party (Die Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) issued its program of
socialist cliches that Bellamy repeated in his bestseller (Looking Backward)
and his other writings for the rest of his life. The German Workers' Party
was the Party that later added the very phrase "National Socialism" to the
front of its name and became the Nazis (the National Socialist German
Workers' Party or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP ).
The ominous parallel of Bellamy ideas and U.S. socialists can be seen in the
25 point program of the NSDAP.
Edward later wrote, "It was in the great cities of Europe and among the
hovels of the peasantry that my eyes were first fully opened to the extent
and consequences of 'man's inhumanity to man.'" But Edward died in 1898,
and did not witness the worst of man's inhumanity to man in the socialist
Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (21 million); the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
(62 million people slaughtered); the People's Republic of China (35
million). The invasion of Poland in WWII occurred in 1939, with the
National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics as allies in their scheme to divide up Europe. It was preceded by
Hitler's 1936 invasion of the Rhineland and the Sudetenland.
By 1936, National Socialism had grown so much in the USA that Fritz Kuhn,
the head of the German-American Bund, and a few of his followers, visited
Germany that same year in Berlin for the Summer Olympics.
In 1888, Bellamy Clubs (Nationalist Clubs) gained the backing of the
Theosophical Society and its leader, Madam Blavatsky. Theosophists saw in
the Nationalist Movement a practical means to further their "ideal of
universal brotherhood." (see Arthur E. Morgan in his biography, Edward
Bellamy, 1948, pp. 260-75; see also The Key to Theosophy by H. P. Blavatsky,
pp. 44-5. -- K.V.M.] A symbol for Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophical
Society includes a swastika or hakenkreuz
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-blavatsky-brooch.gif
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Curry showed that it
was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S"
letters for their "socialism." Curry changed the way that people view the
symbol of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party. Hitler
altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for
"socialist" and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
In 1897, the "American swastika" appears for the first time as the "equality
symbol" ( = ) repeated all over the cover of Edward Bellamy's new book
"Equality," his sequel to "Looking Backward."
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-equality-swastika.jpg While the
swastika/hakenkreuz was the symbol for German National Socialists, the
"equals sign" was the "swastika" for American National Socialists. Bellamy
wrote, "Nationalism is not based on the maxim 'To each according to his
needs, from each according to his abilities.' Of course, as a matter of
conscience, every man is bound to do all he can, and the needs of others are
sacred claims upon his service; but both abilities and needs are
indeterminate, and therefore could not be made the basis of any regulation
to be enforced by society. The principle of Nationalism is: From all
equally; to all equally." The book Equality continues the story of Julian
West in Bellamy's totalitarian future of National Socialism.
John Toland's biography of Hitler (p 183) makes reference to Hans Knirsch,
founder of the National Socialist Workers' Party in Czeckoslovakia also
known as the Sudetendeutsche National Sozialistische Partei or
Sudeten-German National Socialist Party. If the swastika was a symbol of
the Sudetendeutsche National Sozialistische Partei, then it provides an
additional use of the swastika's two overlapping "S" letters: "Südeten
Socialism" or even "Süd Socialism" or "Southern Socialism." The word
"Sudeten" came to mean "Southern" for many Germans, even though the original
etymology is unclear.
In 1843, the anti-semitic Karl Marx wrote his notorious, "On the Jewish
Question" (published Feb.1844). In it, he intended to libel Jewish folks
when he said they were the quintessential capitalists and worthy of total
contempt. Marxists and socialists had no interest in anyone they
considered to be "the weak," only in the loyal, and their "language of
social justice" concerned a totalitarian plan for a new man, or more
accurately a soldier ant in an ant hill.
The Manifesto of the Communist Party had been written (1848) in German by
the Germans Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as the Communist League's
programme on the instruction of its Second Congress (London, November
29-December 8, 1847). The first English translation, made by Helen
Macfarlane, was published between June and November 1850, in the Chartist
journal The Red Republican. Its editor, Julian Harney, named the authors for
the first time in the introduction to this publication. All earlier and many
subsequent editions of the Manifesto were anonymous. Its advocates sought
the overthrow of the existing economic and social institutions and control
by "the people" of all production, distribution and industry. They sought
also to abolish all idleness and all private property except incomes and
minor personal possessions.
Socialism grew in America and, according to Sylvia E. Bowan, "Aside from the
New York German Communist Club (1857), the first large, organized society to
propagate the idea of socialism was the German Gymnastic Union, or
Turnverein, which by 1850 was organized on a national basis. The platform
adopted in Philadelphia in 1850 'proclaimed the promotion of socialism and
the support of the socialistic democratic party to be its chief purpose.' "
(see Sylvia E. Bowman's 1958 book The Year 2000). (Also see the German
American Bund movement referenced above and at
http://rexcurry.net/pledgeapology.html ).
Karl Marx's book Das Kapital had been published in 1867, the year before
Bellamy's trip to Germany. Although it was not translated into English
until after 1886, his ideas had been promoted in newspapers and pamphlets.
Edward Bellamy learned how to speak and write in German during his stay in
Germany. While Bellamy was in Germany, Marx fought with Bakunin and
Proudhon in the First International about their fundamentals of "social
revolution." Bebel and Liebknecht took part in the debates, also.
In 1886, Dr. Edward Aveling and his wife Eleanor -the daughter of Karl Marx-
wrote that when they toured the U.S. and preached the gospel of socialism as
far westward as Kansas, they were surprised by the prevalence of what they
termed "unconscious socialism" and that the "American people ... were
waiting to hear in their own language what socialism is."
Later, Looking Backward was popular among the elite in pre-revolutionary
Russia, and Lenin's wife was known to have read the book, because she wrote
a review of it.
In Edward Bellamy's own weekly publication, The New Nation, in which Bellamy
touted his National Socialism, Bellamy would sell his weekly combined with
Karl Marx's Capital as a package deal.
http://rexcurry.net/edward-bellamy-karl-marx.jpg
In 1891, advertisements listed German-language editions of Edward Bellamy's
Looking Backward and stated "Lays the foundation of the Nationalist
Movement."
http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-edward1891.pdf
Another advertisement lists together the books of Charles Bellamy, Edward
Bellamy and Karl Marx http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-charles-brother1891.pdf
Bellamy exemplified the amateurism and irrationalism of National Socialism.
It is similar to the experience of Peter Drucker in a meeting of farmers. A
member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party had shouted to the
cheering crowd: "We don't want lower bread prices, we don't want higher
bread prices, we don't want unchanged bread prices - we want
National-Socialist bread prices."
In 1867, Bellamy became a bitter military failure due to his inability to
pass the physical exam at West Point. Still, he loved Prussian militarism
and the educational system.
Bellamy's 1868-1869 stay in Germany (including Dresden) occurred shortly
after the war between Prussia and Austria. Saxony, of which Dresden was the
capital, had sided with Austria, had been conquered by Prussia, and then had
joined the North German Federation. That would interest all who loathe the
monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party, because Prussia led to
the formation of the German empire, and after World War I, Prussia continued
to exist as the largest Land (state) within the Weimar Republic and under
the National Socialist German Workers' Party. After World War II it was
dissolved by decree of the Allied Control Council in 1947.
