VIII. Intellektualisierungsbemühungen in the Rechtsextremismus

Since beginning of the eighties the Rechtsextremismus can be ascertained for parts Intellektualisierungsbemühungen and so that proceeding an increase his Diskursfähigkeit to in the academic associated area. The development executes itself indeed neither organizes nor ideologically homogeneous.

- " New rights " -


















- " Nationally - revolutionary " -

The two most important currents can be marked as - " Nationalrevolutio-näre " - and - " news rights " -. Them - " New rights " - appeals to the ideology elements it - " conservatives revolution " - and their -aus of their view - timely advanced training. The notion - " conservatives revolution " - marks an intellectual current the antidemokratischen of thinking in the Weimarer Republik43 ). Agents of this body of thought were among others Edgar Julius Young, Arthur Moeller van the Bruck and Carl Schmitt. After their view should be overcome the then existing parliamentary democracy in the sense one mentally - cultural revolution. The concrete ideas these -auch - " Jungkonservative " - named - Denkrichtung extend to for the Etablierung a cäsaristisch - authoritarian system, similarly that of the Italian fascism. So arm admit herself MOHLER (76), a present agent it - " news rightwingers " -, candidly as fascist in the sense more Italian and Spanish Prägung44 ). Against these etatistisch -also at the image of a strong state - reported Denkschule want - " Nationalrevolutionäre " - with that politically - cultural - " west " - break and strive for one - " news nationalism " -.

Delegitimation the liberal
democratic constitution

Both ideology variants turn thus against basic principles of the liberal democratic constitution. - " New rights " - and - " Nationalrevolutionäre " - aim at it, the democratic constitution state to delegitimieren. First of all they search them politically - intellectual debate, to win thereby long-term with their anticonstitutional positions the opinion leadership.

As media for the dissemination of these theories rechtsextremistische serve particularly magazines, which dedicate themselves -ebenso like various rechtsextremistische book publishing houses - in different facets of the strategy - and ideology education and conform before everything to a rechtsextremistische readership. So Grabert - publishing house appear e.g. in that - " " - translations of books the French - " news rightwingers " -. Them it - " news rightwingers " - to allocating monthly magazine - " state letters " - (vgl.Kap.VI, Nr.4) maintains, Germany will be first then sovereign, if it exist as Federal Republic of Germany no more. The magazine expects a new empire. The bimonthly publication - " Sleipnir " - (vgl.Kap.VI, Nr.6) contains predominantly nationalrevolutionäre contributions. The auflagenstärkeren publications - " nation & Europe - Germans monthly copybooks " - (vgl. Kap.VI, Nr.2) and - " Europe in front " - (vgl. Kap.VI, Nr.5) offer a broad forum for the representation different rechtsextremistischer reasonings.

Occasionally the boundaries are effaced between conservative ideas on one hand and extremist ideology elements on the other hand consciously, to spread in the sense feigned mutuality also extremist criticism at the existing political relationships in Germany. Protagonists formulate in hints and use the system-inherent criticism attempts of democratic theorists. To this they seize Diskurse and themes of the public debate, particularly if these can be expanded in the sense of their long-term objectives (e.g. criticism at the social influence of the parties). If the far-reaching renunciation of the authors marking of this tactic is additionally, to call their long-term objective and to put the -aus their rechtsextremistischen view - logical demand after system overcoming concretely. The objective these rechtsextremistischen theorists describes Klaus KUNZE(42):

- " main weapon is the taboo crash. He/it is the first step for the necessary revaluation of the values. This begins with the aimed Lächerlichmachen of the hostile ideologist m, as far as these can not taken possession of and umgepolt become, such as which Demokratieprinzip. " - 45)

Erosion of the delimitation between
Democrats and extremists

To an erosion of the delimitation between democrats and extremists publications contribute like the Berlin weekly - " boy freedom " - (JF), which offers both democrats as well as domestic and foreign right-wing extremist a forum, in that she/it stamps corresponding essays and interview undistanziert. Also KUNZE belongs to the constant authors the JF.

Meinungsführer-schaft does not reach

Up to now it has not been successful the agents the - " intellectual Rechtsextremismus " - different currents, which to attain by them striven for - " cultural hegemony " -.
