註釋
Discusses to what degree Austrian German nationalist ideology may be viewed as fascist, i.e. centering around the anti-liberal, anti-socialist, and anti-emancipatory dogma of the supposed intellectual "immaturity" of discriminated social classes. Pp. 76-107, "Die Funktion des Antisemitismus", argue that antisemitism was a necessary component in German nationalist ideology. The German self-image could only be established if the phenomena that German nationalism rejected, such as liberalism, Marxism, and democracy, could be portrayed as un-German. In this scenario, the "Jew", being both integrated and strange, served as the "ideal" originator of corrupting ideas. Due to Jewish integration, German nationalists could mobilize anti-Jewish prejudice and expose the Jews whenever an "enemy" was needed. Racism explained that "Aryans" could be alienated from their hereditary "species" through outside influence, and therefore concrete Jews were not needed as originators of the criticized trends; one could speak of "Judaization" and "the Jewish spirit" without needing to present real proofs. The "Jew" thus became stylized into a concealed, omnipresent being who, led by rigid "racial" principles, rejected mingling with other races and aimed at world dominion. At the same time, the Jews were ascribed superior powers, which legitimized the vindication propaganda of the German nationalists in the interwar period. Provides many examples of antisemitism in German nationalist publications, and concludes that antisemitism enabled the German "nationalists" to portray their ideology as truly "national"--Even as it turned against domestic adversaries and trends in Austrian postwar society.
