Hitler's Eschatology

The eschatology of the Third Reich – the salvation of Christian Germans to the National Socialist community, but the damnation of non-Christians, including Communists and Jews, to the concentration camps.

Hence the Life of the German people within the Reich – alleged to be capable of lasting  a thousand years (a modest estimate, in my opinion) – and the Death of those regarded as subhuman(ist) enemies of the Reich and, hence, of the German people.

Hitler, as I believe I have argued on several previous occasions, was to all intents and purposes the Germanic equivalent of the Second Coming, who brought both Heaven and Hell, Life and Death, Hope and Fear, the Reich and the concentration camps, to pass in an eschatological judgement which still haunts – and fascinates – the modern world.

Even the state-hegemonic WASPS, who have no sense of a subhuman/superhuman dichotomy, in their humanistic liberalism, are haunted and fascinated by the Nazi era, which grew from a south German kernel of ethnic Catholics, including Hitler, Hess, and Himmler, partial, whether consciously or otherwise, to church-hegemonic axial criteria, not least in respect of the southwest-to-northeast directionality, in relation to the intercardinal axial compass, of Hitler’s salute – something completely alien to the WASPs, as for a corresponding reason would be the anti-Semitism which Hitler embodied in his eschatology as symptomatic of a destiny with Second-Coming implications that emerged from a Catholic background and correlative repudiation of Jews.  Yet even this would have been alien to a majority of north Germans, traditionally Protestant, and in no way capable of endorsing such an axial orientation, not even in their manner of saluting, which more corresponds to the average take on Nazism as something fundamentally metachemical and absolutely objective – the objectivity, in a word, of the jerk, as though indicative of one subconsciously shying away from church-hegemonic axial directionality in his overly vertical approach to the type of salute in question - which could be generically described as fascist.

This is not, however, an apologetics for Hitler's style of saluting since, even if my hunch is true, approaching church-hegemonic axial directionality from the bottom up, as this appears to do, is contrary to anything metaphysical and capable of symbolizing that which would lead the people from above in the interests of the hegemony of noumenal subjectivity.
John O'Loughlin is a self-taught philosopher who has been writing mostly works of a philosophical nature for over three decades. Besides publishing himself through his company Centretruths Digital Media, he has been published by Lulu.com (ePub) and Clickbank.com (PDF), as well more recently by Amazon.com (Kindle), on the Internet, and considers himself to be the founder of the ideological philosophy of Social Theocracy and/or Social Transcendentalism, the former term having more political and the latter more religious significance, as though a distinction between state and church. Both, however, appertain to what he terms 'the Centre', a concept which transcends state/church relativity as we generally understand it. His works explain and justify Social Transcendentalism in relation to the concept of religious sovereignty, which he regards as the ultimate mode of sovereignty. Mr O'Loughlin is 58 and lives alone in north London.
