"As little as one could imagine about sixty years ago a political collapse of the greatness now arrived at, just as little was a cultural breakdown thinkable as it began to show itself in futuristic and cubistic representations since 1900. Sixty years ago an exhibition of so-called dadaistic 'experiences' would have seemed simply impossible. and the sponsors would have been sent to the madhouse, while today they even preside in 'artists' unions." This plague could not have appeared at the time, because neither would public opinion have suffered it nor would the State have looked on quietly. For it is an affair of the State- that means of the government - to prevent a people from being driven into the arms of spiritual lunacy. For in lunacy such a development would end one day. For on the day that this kind of art were actually to correspond to the general conception, one of the most severe changes of mankind would have begun; the backward development of the human brain would have begun with this, but one would hardly be able to conceive the end."
| Since it was pre-Nazi culture that made Hitler's thought
patterns and made Nazi Germany, hence all that it brought with it, I have
studied it thoroughly. We could approach Adolf Hitler's major thought
processes in three ways. One, and probably the most likely, He was searching
for a Paradise Lost. The second is that he was just an evil man (the
contemporary concept). The other that his environment made him what he was
and all his decisions were based on the ACTS upon him. I have
concluded that the second just is not true. This second happens to be very
convenient for controlling the populace. That is why it is the contemporary
concept.
In studying Adolf Hitler's childhood and early manhood it is obvious that his soul is searching for a Paradise Lost. His acts themselves were based on what Civilization, at that time, put upon him. Had he been accepted into art school in Vienna (he tried three times) he would have been an artist. When you study him and his times that is the only conclusion that a logical person can reach. This brings up another point. Had Adolf Hitler been an artist would all the evil that followed him come about. Absolutely, the environment was setting man up for a mess. The environment, in this case was, was a peak of ten thousand years of civilization. The Super Organisms, or Governed Men, all assume that civilization is good. But they are wrong. It is just civilization. No more than a dust spot in infinity. The performance art piece http://www.retropunkx.com/index.html or the Artist VS the Super Organism addresses this.
