   Here is an article from Das Schwarze Korps, the weekly published by   
   the SS.   
   The Danger of Americanism   
      
   "When we speak of young Europe and its young nations, we contrast them   
   to the senile world of dying liberalism which, under the leadership of   
   Jewry, is once more gathering all its material resources in an attempt   
   to forever subject the world to the power of money under the   
   domination of those who have it. They want to perpetuate the social   
   injustice they find so comfortable. More is involved than differences   
   between ages and generations, however.   
      
   Our camp includes not only those who are young enough to topple the   
   old and build a new world. It includes all those spiritual forces that   
   see the new in the collapse of the old, who want to build a new future   
   with new ways and means.   
      
   The triumph of the Copernican worldview over the unfruitful dogma of   
   the past, the triumph of science over empty faith, was a victory of   
   youth. They followed the shining examples of their predecessors. The   
   youth have always been the battering ram that helped bring the   
   national idea to fruition. The discovery of the laws of inheritance   
   has been the occasion and guidepost of a new youth movement that   
   builds on the eternal culture-building values of race and blood. They   
   lead from the deadly and destructive lethargy of materialism to the   
   new world of tomorrow.   
      
   Today it is as it always was in times of revolution. Those fighting   
   for the new have more to offer the youth than those who live in   
   yesterday, who hold to what they have grown accustomed to, even if it   
   has long since become rigid, empty and stifling. We offer the youth   
   the freedom to develop their nation, even in the case of smaller   
   nations. We offer them room for creative fantasy, the opportunity to   
   transform great thoughts to reality outside the lecture hall. We offer   
   the realization of dreams on a world scale, a common Germanic will, a   
   common European will. We fill the spiritual vacuum left by liberalism   
   with the magic of a worldview that draws self-confidence and meaning   
   to life from race and the blood of one's ancestors.   
      
   What does old England have to offer its youth to justify the war's   
   requirements? It cannot even begin to solve its own social problems,   
   much less offer anything to other peoples. Where is there a healthy   
   youth that is on fire for Bolshevism? It was a danger only during the   
   spiritual interregnum that followed the First World War. In the face   
   of an inadequate yesterday, it was the only force, the only   
   revolutionary movement, available, and anything was better than   
   nothing.   
      
   Today Bolshevism may have reached its material and organizational   
   pinnacle on the bent backs of its devotees, but as a spiritual   
   movement it is finished. The crass incompetence of its methods and   
   goals have proven it to be the very epitome of capitalist slavery.   
   The only remaining alternative is Americanism. As strange as it may   
   sound, it is the only serious competition to National Socialism's   
   racial worldview in the struggle for the youth, in the struggle for   
   the future of humanity. In the end, however, it is only a forerunner   
   of Bolshevism.   
      
   Americanism is certainly not a spiritual movement, nor is it a   
   worldview that it is possible to oppose at the intellectual level. Its   
   political beneficiaries have tried in recent years to give it, if not   
   a face, at least a program or a goal: "the American Century." It is a   
   collection of empty promises of the type democratic orators have   
   always made-but this time on a world scale. There is nothing in them   
   to excite a reasonable man. But that is exactly the point of   
   Americanism! The key is not what it promises, but what it cannot   
   promise. The key is not what it demands of men, but what gives them.   
   That would not matter if the world's youth were of the sound character   
   that develops from racially conscious lines, tradition-rich families,   
   good upbringing and close camaraderie. But that is not the way things   
   are. The good fairy will not give youth the values they will need in   
   life. The racially sound youth can be inspired by virtue of his blood.   
   But the blood does not tell him what should inspire him. He can be   
   misled into serving a bad cause. He can squander his enthusiasm if he   
   matures in a spiritual vacuum. One should not underestimate the danger   
   of Americanism, or its seductive power. It offers devotion to a   
   culture of nothingness, independence, lack of restraint, a freedom   
   from all obligation, from all honor, from all consideration.   
      
   We do not wish to deny this culture of nothingness its right to exist.   
   It can even, rightly used, be good, just as it is sometimes a pleasure   
   to do nothing. Should a German soldier happen to find a portable   
   record player and jazz records in the deserted quarters of British or   
   American soldiers, he does not smash them against the wall. Instead,   
   he takes them along and thinks he has a great treasure. We don't want   
   to suggest excessive cultural disaster here. There are times when he   
   wants a vacation from himself, from us, from the whole world. He needs   
   to relax, and certainly does not wish to ponder intellectual matters.   
   Nothing is better suited to take him out of the normal world that the   
   complete nonsense of this hot music, this cacophony of animal howls,   
   wild instruments and foot-stomping Negro lust. It takes him away from   
   human concerns back to the depths of pre-human apedom, returning him   
   to the time when people did not need to think because there was no   
   past and no future. Its effect is like that of alcohol, which turns   
   normally rational men into shouting, destructive children. That can   
   sometimes be good for serious and intelligent men. And the soldier   
   certainly does not forget his German mission, nor does he lose his   
   character or honor when he occasionally spends an hour relaxing to   
   entertaining music. He is immune to the danger of confusing this   
   rhythmic pig grunting with good music, much less art or culture. It   
   cannot meet his higher standards.   
      
   Others, however, are not as immune. That is what those who deny any   
   appeal of Americanism forget.   
      
   Certainly there is no danger that our young boys and girls will fall   
   into sexual frenzy while listening to some Jewish lout blowing on a   
   saxophone. One can introduce them to the high priests of the American   
   jitterbug with no worries at all. At most they will laugh. Our young   
   Luftwaffe aides and working girls would hardly join in a dance   
   marathon. And the winning couple running through the arena in   
   tattered, sweaty clothes would receive not applause, but a beating.   
   But that is our youth. They are made of different stuff, and grew up   
   in a world in which dignity comes from doing one's duty, and both are   
   seen not as a burden but as the joy of life.   
      
   That may be self-evident to us, but it is not so to others. Whole
