Spartacus: Journal of Revolutionary Action and Thought

In a previous issue we wrote that this zine had some pretty loony views–well now we confirm that they’re downright crazy, crafty and dangerous. Although BP is not in the habit of reviewing material that it considers racist and/or hate literature, this zine deserves to be exposed for what it is: neo-Nazi propaganda. The editorial of this zine states that it’s goal is to “disseminate information on revolutionary movements and ideas world-wide–whether they be left-wing, right-wing, libertarian, anarchist, separatist, whatever. Any attempt to label us on the political spectrum is futile–we are simply pro revolution.” Their pretended neutrality and progressiveness is not only downright ridiculous, it’s offensive. I’m not that committed to post-modernism to realize that a journal that includes reprints of articles from WAR (White Aryan Resistance), the Heritage Front, paeans to Nazi’s like Otto Strasser and an article, “Motherhood and Warriorhood as the Key to a National Socialism” and highly selective articles on the Black Muslims, and Zionists can definitely be located on the political spectrum–on the far right! This journal is not about exploring thought–it’s about indoctrination into their paranoid world where peculiar and highly skewed versions of history are used to bolster their malignant ideas. A sentence from the anonymous editorial serves as a clue to their bold attempts at what they try to pass off as “thought”: “The Achilles heel of the contemporary far left is its inability to come to terms with the revolutionary potential of racism and tribalism”(!) This alone says it all. This journal is an attempt by neo-Nazi’s to re-enter the debate by cloaking themselves as ‘unpolitical’ in order to catch unsuspecting people. But it is precisely this ‘neutral veneer’ subterfuge that is the latest guise that White Supremacy uses to break into the debates around free-speech. Mere candy wrapping, like the xeroxed image of Che Guevara on the back, that tries to sugar-coat racist ideas so they seem more palatable to unsuspecting or unaligned people. (RT)
