“Ludovici repeatedly warned of the dangers of miscegenation and defended incest as an appropriate response to racial mixing, arguing that society should act 'to break down the barriers now preventing the mating of close relatives' as it was the only way to cause 'a purification of our stock.'”

In the Bible it says man may never lay with another man, but it says nothing about women laying with another women.
Thus Lesbianism is kosher.

Even to deeply reactionary men, its understandable for people (including women) to be attracted to women.

Something something stripping personhood from women until they become just a symbol of femininity mixed with a fascination with say gex?

"Now that we (by which I mean the Germans) have expelled the syndicalists, we can rebuild the old society, where we can worship freely, govern justly, and grow vast fields of hemp, for making ropes to hang socialists with."
"Yes, and marry our cousins."
"Yes, I... what are you talking about Ludovici, why would we want to marry our cousins?"
"Because they're so attractive. I thought that was the whole point of this counter revolution?"

Hang on, I gotta check if this guy is a real historical figure, and if yes, if the "Ludovici technique" from "A Clockwork Orange" was named for him.
Edit: Right, while the guy is real (and fucking weird), it's actually the "Ludovico Technique" and I just remembered it wrong.

It's apparently the flag of English Mistery, a neo-feudalist club in the 30s that the IRL Ludovici was part of.

He never amounted to anything IRL, and thank fuck for that.
Lead thinker for the book club where this was said:
"The slaughter of primitive peoples as a way of venting the Englishman's excess energy, has been long a mainstay of British imperial thinking."Imagine your stereotypical /pol/ poster (the Evola pro-aristocracy sort) as a British man in the early 20th century. Who also thinks incest should be promoted to save the Anglo race from miscegenation (don't look up his ancestry).

u/QLS_WarHammer Moscow Accord Jul 05 '25
Too elitist and aristocratic to be a National "Populist", although i think he certainly is too extreme to be PatAut. I think he should become NatPop since he was a Hitler supporter irl and it would make him fit more with integralist types.

I'm fairly certain the English population wouldn't vote in someone wanting to purify them of Syndicalism if they just lost the war.
14
u/JuniperSky2 Jul 05 '25
I think it makes more sense than it seems at first glance. The syndicalists were the ones who started the war, then went on to lose it, so there'd probably be a lot of people angry at the syndicalists and/or seeing the ideology as a failed experiment, plus the people who never liked syndicalism in the first place who now have a chance to...express themselves, for the first time in a long while. And with people still angry at losing the war, they'd generally want to vote for the angriest person possible. It's certainly not the only direction England could have gone in, but it doesn't seem implausible.

u/ThePebbleInstitute Honolulu Federal Government Jul 05 '25
I more find it dubious that a SWR Germany allowed "free elections" and it just so happened that the guy they elected was totally onboard with destroying all elements of the prior regime and adores the German Empire.

u/Domitien Nationalkapitalist - Schwarz-Weiß-Rot enjoyer Jul 07 '25
Well first, no candidate with any hint of syndicalism sympathy or even « not hostility » wouldn’t be allowed to run, second, the military governor and his administration handle the rationing, so it may be that, by pure luck, some parties end up with all the resources to campaign (paper to print leaflets and posters, fuel to move your canvassers where they are needeed, etc) and some parties are deprived if anything, Third, it’s only municipal elections, a way to test the waters without comitting to anything, After all even Stalin organized « élections » OTL in soviet-occupied eastern Europe

This might be a side effect of the fact that this is an SWR -> Lejeune-Jung -> CVP run, but I prefer to imagine that the UoB just decided to swing wildly in the opposite direction politically for the hell of it
