Why do socialists deny free speech to fascists? After all, we are in favour of democracy. Socialist ideas flourish best where there are trade unions, public meetings, leaflets and newspapers which express different points of view. Imposing socialist ideas without that democratic debate is the opposite of real socialism.
Yet we deny these rights to the Nazis. Is this just the same sort of hypocrisy used by tyrants through the ages who have demanded free speech for themselves but seized the first opportunity to deny it to others? After all, runs our critics’ argument, the fascists are, like you, a minority. They have a ‘point of view’. Why should they be denied the right to put that point of view in the same way that you do?
There are two immediate answers. First, there is the connection between saying and doing. If an organised party goes around preaching race hatred against black people, as the British National Party does, that race hatred is bound to overflow into deeds ...
The other answer to the question why deny free speech to the fascists is that the central aim of fascism is to destroy democracy. This is not speculation, as it might have been before Mussolini came to power in Italy in 1922 or Hitler in Germany 11 years later. Now we know without any shadow of doubt that the aim of fascism is totally to destroy democracy and to remove the rights and freedoms of everyone except themselves ...
The single common aim of fascism in the 1930s was to break the strength and spirit of organised labour: to pave the way for uninterrupted profiteering by the people who own the means of production. Though its shock troops were the lumpen proletariat and the lower middle class, fascism’s real master was capital. When at least sections of the capitalists lost all hope of proceeding through the democratic system and the trade unions it had conceded under pressure in the past, it looked round for a battering ram to dispose of both. Paul Foot, article Mary 1994 ‘Silencing the Nazi Threat’

A little known occult group may have been the inspiration for one of the most terrifying ideologies of the twentieth century. It formed a dark fellowship that was established nearly one hundred years ago. It seems that its original members believed that they could live below the Earth’s surface and fly to distant stars. Their power would be a mysterious substance called Vril. They believed that one day they would take over the world. Dark Fellowships: Nazi Cult, 2008
This dark fellowship may have been a Nazi cult. ibid.
Members of the Society are said to have used the magic of sex to summon the magic of Vril. ibid.
The concept of Vril was expounded in a book published in 1871 called The Coming Race written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. ibid.

Today in America a small religious organisation exists called The Church of Vrilology. ibid.
In 1875 Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society which married religious concepts of the New Age, Christianity, Paganism and the Occult. Madame Blavatsky’s most influential book was The Secret Doctrine ... And she called this final superior race the Aryans. Nazi Prophecies, 2011
The Vril Society was a dark fellowship. They sought to achieve the mastery of the Aryan race ... Straightforward political assassinations, trying to evoke the spirits of the dead ... sexual orgies and more sinisterly human sacrifice. Michael Fitzgerald, author Storm Troopers of Satan

Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult. Peter Lavenda
The Ariosophists had their political roots in the late nineteenth century volkisch ideology and the Pan-German movement in Austria. Their reactionary response to the nationality problem and modernity led to a vision of a pan-German empire, in which the non-German nationalities and the lower classes would be denied all claims to emancipation or representation. Theories of Aryan-German racial excellence, anti-liberalism, and anxiety about social and economic changes typify their volkisch concerns, but their occultism was an original contribution. Occultism was invoked to endorse the enduring validity of an obsolescent and precarious social order. Dr Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, The Occult Roots of Nazism: Secret Aryan Cults and Their Influence on Nazi Ideology
All that had to be done was the Aryans had to re-purify themselves in order to restore their magical powers. And therefore restore their original identity of being the god-men. Dr Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, Oxford University
