Делая историю

[tijd]

В романе гениального Стивена Фрая "Making history" присутствует элемент альтернативной истории - герою удается проникнуть в прошлое и не допустить рождения Гитлера. Итог - вместо Гитлера на его месте появляется другой персонаж (Руди Гробер), но не фанатичный, а расчетливый и хитрый, который добивается успеха в войне и "окончательного решения" еврейского вопроса.

Gloder's greatest gifts, in the early days of the party, were of organization and of demagoguery. Known for his ready, caustic wit, early rivals dismissed him as a comedian, but he was able to turn the unkindly meant nicknames of Gloder, der ulkige Vogtl, or Rudi der Clown, into weapons of rhetorical attack against his enemies. There is no question however, that it was his charm that won him the most friends and the steady stream of new recruits from all classes of society to the party, that by the early 1920s had swelled to a flood. Naturally endowed with good looks, an athletic bearing and a movie star smile, Gloder's ability to cultivate the admiration and trust of natural political enemies was legendary. The industrial and military classes had faith in him, the ordinary man admired and envied him and women all over Germany (and beyond) openly worshipped him. Organizationally, he grouped the party into sections which were to deal with issues that he considered critical to the achievement of the growth of this fledgling party and the wider growth, when the time came, of greater Germany herself. Propaganda was of huge importance and the recruitment to the party of Josef Gobbels, an academic Rhinelander of strict Catholic upbringing who had been rejected for war service on account of a polio-crippled leg, could not have been more timely. Gobbels' fear of being considered a 'bourgeois intellectual' and his own sense of physical inferiority had led him to formulate a sentimental mythology of blond Nordic purity and manly Spartan virtues: in Gobbels' eyes, Rudolf Gloder was the physical, spiritual and intellectual embodiment of all these Aryan ideals and from their first meeting, Gobbels' considerable gifts of oratory and his natural, modern grasp of the techniques of newsreel and radio, were placed entirely at his Fuhrer's service.



Как, в альтернативной истории, мог бы выглядеть проводник идей трампизма, только компетентный? Определенное представление дают молодые сенаторы - 42-летний Том Коттон из Арканзаса и 39-летний Джош Хоули из Миссури. Самый молодой член Сената, Хаули хорошо образован - окончил (с отличием) Стэнфорд и Йельскую юридическую школу и преподавал в частной школе в Лондоне.

Из его выступления на недавней National Conservative Conference:

"This class lives in the United States, but they identify as “citizens of the world.” They run businesses or oversee universities here, but their primary loyalty is to the global community.
And they subscribe to a set of values held by similar elites in other places: things like the importance of global integration and the danger of national loyalties; the priority of social change over tradition, career over community, and achievement and merit and progress.
Call it the cosmopolitan consensus."

Рассуждения про "безродных космополитов" звучат знакомо и в переводе на русский, и в переводе на немецкий.

Предвыборная речь Гитлера на заводе Сименс 10 ноября 1933:

«Это маленькая безродная международная клика, которая натравливает людей друг на друга и не хочет, чтобы они жили в мире. Эти люди везде как дома, но нигде не чувствуют себя на родине. Они не привязаны к местам, где выросли. Сегодня они живут в Берлине, завтра в Брюсселе, потом в Париже, Праге, Вене или Лондоне, и везде им одинаково хорошо.» (В этом месте в зале раздается выкрик: «Евреи!»)



Примета нашего времени, что интеллектуальным лидером движения натконов, которое приходит на смены неоконам, является израильтянин Йорам Хазони (Yoram Hazony).

В книге "The Virtue of Nationalism" Хазони определяет национализм как "a principled standpoint that regards the world as governed best when nations are able to chart their own independent course, cultivating their own traditions and pursuing their own interests without interference". Таким образом, каждая страна представляется особой ячейкой со своими традициями и "скрепами", в которые не полагается вмешиваться другим странам, а универсальность идей прав человека и либеральной демократии объявляется империалистическим мифом.

Такое определение отлично подходит не только для трампизма, но и для путинизма и правых автократов, которые пытаются подражать Путину (Орбану, Эрдогану, Нетаньяху и т.д.)

‘“We declare independence from neoconservatism. We declare independence from neoliberalism, from libertarianism, from what they call classical liberalism.” Report from this week’s big National Conservatism Conferencehttps://t.co/YQo1Rrjc6z via @NYTimes

Почетным гостем на конференции был Такер Карлсон. В уши Путина лился елеем провозглашенный натконами принцип невмешательства в дела других стран.

"In foreign affairs, national conservatives’ goal is to protect the safety, sovereignty and independence of the American people. America’s regime-change wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Yemen would be recognized as imperial hubris, and anyone involved in their promotion exiled from future positions in Republican administrations. Presidents who ignore congressional authorization for war would be impeached, and members of Congress who eschew their constitutional duties would be stripped of committee assignments and “primaried” in the next election. We would command the seas and space, bring the remaining troops home, secure our own borders and rebuild America."

Принципу невмешательства немного противоречит позиция некоторых натконов по Ирану. Джош Хаули до того, как стал политиком, работал над тем, чтобы исключить Организацию моджахедов иранского народа (Моджахедин-э Халк) из списка террористических организаций.

An element of Hawley’s biography some find distressing: he did legal work earlier this decade for the People’s Mujahideen of Iran, more infamously referred to as the MEK. Hawley was successful in wiping the MEK from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. The MEK believes itself a Iranian government in waiting. And maybe they are.

При поддержке Болтона, Джулиани, Гингрича и других трамповских тяжеловесов, бесноватый культ МЕК сидит на чемоданах в ожидании смены режима в Иране.

Giuliani spoke to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella coalition largely controlled by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK), which was once listed as a terrorist organisation in the US and Europe and is still widely viewed as a Marxist-Islamist cult built around the personality of its leader, Maryam Rajavi.
“We are now realistically being able to see an end to the regime in Iran,” Giuliani told a crowd of about 4,000, many of them refugees and young eastern Europeans who had been bussed in to attend the rally in return for a weekend trip to Paris.
“The mullahs must go, the ayatollah must go, and they must be replaced by a democratic government which Madam Rajavi represents,” Giuliani said. “Freedom is right around the corner … Next year I want to have this convention in Tehran!”

Но, как знать - возможно, новая гвардия победит, и вместо ядерной войны можно будет сразу перейти к перейти к осуществлению ватной мечты - переделу мира по сценарию Ялта-2.0.
