The INSANE world of National Socialism’s Aryan Religion

[@TheImperatorKnight]

A couple of notes: First, if you’ve read books on this topic from the 1960s and 70s that contradict what I mentioned in this video, you should know that many of the books from that era were flat out wrong. In fact, historian Goodrick-Clarke states this in the opening of his book (The Occult Roots of Nazism). He states while there are a couple of exceptions, most of the authors were writing sensational nonsense just to sell books, so I would disregard them and read a more up-to-date book instead. And this leads to my second point. I would like to clarify my book recommendation that I stated at the end of the video. Most of the references in the video were from Goodrick-Clarke’s “The Occult Roots of Nazism” and that’s with good reason! It’s a great book on the topic, and while it is academic in nature (which might put people off), I still think it should be your first choice unless you really insist on reading something lighter. If you prefer an easier read, then Hale’s “Himmler’s Crusade” is the book you should get. And Anthony’s “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language” is only on the Proto-Indo-European history NOT the Nazis, but is really interesting in its own right if you want to dive into the Ancient Aryans. Finally, I should point out that this is not a sponsored video or post; I’ll only ever recommend books for people to do their own follow-up reading if I genuinely think the book is worth picking up, and in this case I think these three are. This video is also not monetized and doesn’t have adverts on it because KZbin’s “Community” Guidelines are deliberately vague on what “controversial topics” are or aren’t. So this video could only have been made possible thanks to my Patreons and SubscribeStars. Therefore I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU once again to all of your who have chosen to support my work. You guys are awesome!

Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea, was from a Presbyterian family, too. He started his own political religion based on Korean nationalism, communism and himself being a messianic figure. His name was originally Kim song-Ju, but he changed it to “Il Sung” because that means “sun.”

Il Sung (일성) is two words. Because a Korean word may have many homophones, we need to look at the Sino-Korean logograms for the roots. They are 日 (il, 일) which is sun (but much more often used for the word day) and 成 (sung, 성) which is to make / to achieve. I should point out that both il and sung are common enough male forenames (though not together due to Kim) and sung is also a surname in Korea.

The term political religion has existed since at least 1938 with the first examples it was used to describe being fascism, communism and national socialism(the latter is redundant as it was explicitly religious in nature). Suggest reading Ennio Gentile's "politics as religion". Bertrand Russel may have been the first person to refer to bolshevism as a religion in his "The theory and practice of Bolshevism" in 1920, written after he had met Lenin in 1917. That's not mentioning the cult of reason and the cult of the supreme being created during the french revolution as "secular" replacements for Christianity. Christopher Hitchens has also stated how Stalinism, fascism, North Korea and all forms of totalitarian are like religion in most of his religious debates and has a chapter in his book "God is not great" dedicated to this.

Hi Louis. Great video. The only thing I might add is that although the internet has many immediate sources saying the Rig Veda is the oldest canon of Hinduism ( c 1,500 BC) if you look deeper you'll find this is not exactly correc and I have no idea why the internet is littered with this claimt. A more accurate estimate for the oldest Hindu texts Vedas/Upanishads go back to 3,500 BCE to 4,000 BCE making it the worlds oldest religion still practiced at around 6,00 years of age, The word 'Aryan' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'Spiritual Being.' History/Anthropology has attributed the migration of the Aryans, who brought/started Hinduism to India and refers to the proto Indo/Europeans Migrating to and from the regions of Iran - Northern Europe. The name of the country 'Iran' is actually translates to 'Aryan' I have read thoudh I lack a good enough source to verify. Anthropology until recently has attributed all sophisticated culture and even population itself as having been brought into India around 7,000 years ago, however there is a new school of Indian Anthropologists who are challenging this previously accepted idea. Anyway, I hope you find this information useful. Some of this info was taken from my University studies in Eastern Phil, some however was from the net as well and -for that reason-it is very likely is possibly not 100% certain but I hope it helps.

@@108lvl I don't remember exactly what I was referring to when I wrote that, but IIRC in Buddhist usage the left-facing swastika is usually considered more auspicious, and in cultures like the prehistoric Celts and sometimes Slavs where it was a sun symbol the left-facing one had a more positive context because if you visualize it rolling along a surface you would expect it to roll clockwise (sun-wise), from left to right, like the sun does if you're watching it in the northern hemisphere, while the right-facing one would roll counter-sunwise, which is unlucky.

This can also be seen in some post-modern thinking (another Nietzsche influenced theory). Especially in his political theory, he thought that the highest form of society lead by a small, aristocratic group of men that lead the weaker-willed society to their own higher values that go beyond moral justification.

[@youtubeuser1993]

@@TheImperatorKnight Honestly yes, the information presented about the Indoeuropeans was correct. The distinction you made between linguistics and "race" is very important, though often misunderstood. Pinpointing the PIE homeland has sparked a lot of debate in the past, the linguistic approach used in the video is fascinating, and as you most probably know the pontic-caspian steppes have been indeed recently confirmed through genetical analysis as the correct location. If I can add something I know that in some Veda passages noble aryan peoples are described by some uncertain translations as blonde, of course this doesn't prove they were actually blonde, but this inspired many baseless hypothesis that traced them back to Germany or some Nordic location. This plays a role in the "corruption of the blood" idea: as the original aryan people from Germany mixed with the lesser local peoples unpure populations were born. Another very interesting fact is that actually naz1 propaganda and Hitler in his speeches usually emphasized more the concept of the "nordic race" compared to the aryan one, in fact german supremacist intellectuals had to cope with the fact that also Latins, Slavs and others spoke "Aryan" (indoeuropean) languages, so they came up with an internal division that saw the "nordic" peoples of scandinavia as the top and originally the most aryan one. I can confirm thid based on the references Hitler makes about race I read, he speaks more often about "Nordic" or "Germanic" peoples rather than Aryan ones. It should be kept in mind that these ideas were not homogeneous and different thinkers had different hypotheses over the course of decades. It's very interesting nonetheless that a real discovery in the field in linguistics inspired so many baseless ideas that had a great impact in world history, I feel this is almost a forgotten story today and this confirms you try to go deeper than what conventionally taught. Keep up with the great work!

Very good treatment. One footnote: in Mein Kampf, Hitler starts with a long analysis of the political conditions in his youth, spent of course in Austria, at that time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although the anti-semitism is already there ('There were some Jews living there, but at that time I mistook them for human beings') his main political problem was with the Czechs. Czech intellectuals, in imitation of German nationalism, had adopted a pan-Slavist ideology, for the first time seeking to identify with the mighty Russians, who seemed to be a safe distance away. This would eventually come back to bite them hard when Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in 1968. But in the Austro-Hungarian Empire of Hitler's youth, this ideology created the basis for political demands, and Hitler interpreted this as removing German rights in the Austrian half of the Empire. So from a political point of view, he was more anti-Czech and anti-Slav than anti-Jewish, there being no equivalent political movement for Jewish political rights in Vienna.

Major error about the Swastika. The right facing one is the original, sacred to Hinduism, and it is a positive symbol. The Nazis appropriated it, and rotated it a little.

Some disturbing parallels with China today. (It would be cool if you could do a video about it.) The Chinese government consistently funds research in and outside of China claiming that the Chinese people (specifically the genetic precursors to the Han Chinese race because like many absolutist regimes there is a healthy amount of internal racism) had colonies all over the world that the majority of history does not support the existence of. They somehow miraculously discover ancient Chinese artifacts in North and South America, India, Australia, Africa and many other parts of the world. These artifacts are only collected by researchers approved by the CCP and the only quote unquote independent verifiers are researchers from other nations with sympathies for the CCP and that have been specifically cleared and improved by the CCP. The point of all this being that they have a rhetoric for their internal audience that points all over the world and says "That's been part of China since ancient times". This seems ridiculous to outsiders because of course it's preposterous but it's not for outsiders it's for the internal audience. It paints a worldview that they have a right to own these places and if someday they managed to militarily or otherwise dominate these regions any ethical concerns that might arise from their own people about such expansionistic tendencies can be brushed away by a well-established internal culture that in earnest believes that all of this was once part of China or discovered by China and that it is all in fact their birthright. Going right along with this there's another parallel to the state run neopaganism of Nazi Germany. When the communists took over in China they burnt away and sanitized everything foreign and any parts of their own traditional culture and traditional religious beliefs that were deemed undesirable and incompatible with the state's ideology. So now things like TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) traditional folklore, and many other cultural traditions are not what they were before the Communist took over but are instead a rigidly defined primarily manufactured caricature of their former selves. A modern example being Falun Gong which was designed by the CCP to be a benign belief system and religion that would eventually eclipse and replace all other religions in China for those citizens who refused to for whatever reason be atheist. It was working out great until they lost control of it and now they actively persecute practitioners. The CCP is constantly refining their own fictionalized mythology. It has gotten so bad that in their history textbooks for a few generations their explanation of world war II is completely fictionalized. In their version it was not the pre-communist Chinese government, and other allies like the US that fought hard and defeated Japan. In their version the Chinese government fell almost immediately to Japan and the CCP built an army and almost single-handedly defeated Japan. In reality the Communist in China only fought a few minor skirmishes with the Japanese. What they did do was when the war was almost done and the Chinese government and army was weak from fighting Japan they came down out of the mountains and isolated regions where they'd been hiding and stockpiling munitions and slaughtered the Chinese government and took over the nation. But of course none of that is part of their history lessons because it doesn't pay a heroic picture of the CCP.

[@djriqky9581]

The communists and nationalist government worked together to stop the pressing invasion of Japan. They supplied the Kuomintang along with the Soviet Union, who was supplying the CCP and the US as well. I agree with what ur saying now. The communist party is a corner of itself and Mao Zedong would probably be rolling in his grave, but saying the Chinese communists just lazily waited while most of China was being slaughtered so they can just take power is completely ridiculous and retarded. The CCP and Kuomintang had tension in their partnership, but that's because prior the Kuomintang had betrayed the communists and committed a mass purge on them in Shanghai. They had pictures of beheading these people which was disgusting. The Kuomintang was desperate for resources, arms and supplies. Who came to aid? The Soviet Union. Under their guidance they became very powerful and skillful in combat at Whampoa military academy, which was being funded by the soviets. Chinese communists and nationalists graduated from this academy and served in the war together. You'll even see communists in some pictures waving the nationalist flag standing with their nationalist brothers. Again, and prior to the Shanghai massacre, they ousted communists and Soviet advisors in the nationalist revolutionary army, which was oversaw by the soviets, and then committed the purge. They rallied together again after another Japanese invasion.

Wrapping the national flag around a singular religion has historically been a mistake as it divides countries when unity is important.

@@arnabdas7019 "None of the Aryans, who allegedly conquered North Western India, mentions that they come from somewhere in the Caucasus or the west in any of their scriptures." Well, of course not. At that point their group had long left that territory and moved to "the North of India" (or more specifically north of the Indus valley). The Aryans were an Indo-European nomadic people that conquered and settled in the (likely Dravidian) agrarian high-culture of the Indus valley. These new rulers then intermarried with the local nobility and the cultures fused as has happened a myriad of times elsewhere. More rare is that the conquered people took over the new language (Sanskrit) which suggest larger settlement and not just conquest by a small group of new nobles. And genetics appear to confirm that theory. They then later on got their own propaganda myth in the Rig Veda about those now fictionalized events. Though I suspect you'd give a 19th century racial "scholar" of German and English origin a heart attack when you point out that they are only very distantly related to them and much closer genetically to the Slavs.

They're North Indians who later migrated to the Gangetic plains with an agrarian surplus which borders regions with high Iron Ore, Coal and timber reserves ideal for Iron Age civilisation. IVC collapse pre-dates Aryan Invasion by a couple of centuries, IVC collapsed cos of climate change and discovery of Tin sources in Cyprus which was a much nearer source of Tin for major consumers like the Babylonians and Egyptians, that trade and wealth flourished the Hellenic Civilisation which controlled it at that time. Dravidians are not IVC cos they're themselves contemporary or an early emigres from SEA, IVC are firmly North Indians, we get signs of Indo European tribes on a conquest spree from recorded sources in all civilsations during the bronze age. Hittites, Mittani, Dahayus(commonly mistaken as Dravidians, hated in the Vedas most probably were a steppe nomadic Indo European tribe in warfare with Vedic Aryans) and many other tribes who would invade Iran and North India and cause gene replacement, incidentally more percentage wise in India than in Iran and Anatolia, Levantine. Some other Indo European tribes would go onto invade Northern Europe, causing gene replacement and slaughter, incidentally to a higher extent cos of low population and not established large armies(by bronze age standards, equipping an army with bronze weapons required tin and copper, tin was expensive and required trade to obtain either from IVC or later from Cyprus) unlike in Southern Europe where they met decent resistance at the hands of Proto Hellenic(South European) Bronze age populations causing less gene replacement and slaughter of local populations. In regions where the slaughter and gene replacement was more cos of either absence of civilisation or collapse of the ones that existed, Indo European culture, religion and linguistics flourished. Btw, there are recorded battles and diplomatic exchanges with newly arrived Indo European tribes and established Civilisations like Egypt and Babylonians, the Mittani would gobble up Babylonia anyway in a matter of some years. They most probably used heavier chariots with much more horses attached with a steady supply of horses from the steppe and anatolian grasslands, however those horses were much smaller than modern horses as we know them and not ideal for mounted combat, hence chariotery and heavy use of archery and javelins. Enjoyed advantage in large numbers of horses when compared to egypt and middle east cos they had no direct supply of horses and most probably traded with Indo European tribes for them. Indo European tribes probably oversaw and caused the large scale transition from the bronze age to the Iron age, due to loss of tin sources from Cyprus and IVC, large scale smelting iron gained economies of scale and it became much cheaper to smelt and produce iron than it was in the bronze age. Egypt was fked anyway cos it had neither sources of Iron nor copper or tin in hand, the destruction of these trade routes caused the decline of egypt as a bronze age miracle, by the onset of Iron age Egypt was firmly a second or third grade power and it's southern sources of gold couldn't buy it enough iron or bronze to survive and flourish.

@@arnabdas7019 True. But remember most of the scriptures were composed around the time of the Indo-Iranian split. Maybe if we knew how to read the IVC script, we could figure out the history of the Aryans. Also, while conquered is a strong word that was intentionally used by the British to back their racist worldview, there is no doubt that a Mass migration into northwestern India did occur around 1750 BC, which was enough to split the Ancestral North Indian cline from the Ancestral South Indian Cline.

Important to note is that as always a lot of this religious behaviour and beliefs comes from the filosofical and political views of each individual, not every member of the nazi party (and specially common people) just believed in exactly everything, even if there was an "official guide"(Mein Kampf). At the same time the political views of every person are influenced by some filosofies, more "emotional stuff" (which aren't necessarily bad) and the economic, social, demographic changes in their respective period in history, in this case the industrial and french revolutions: The concepts of nations, advanced means of transport comunications and administrative methods.

As a Hindu, the reason you won't find a race or group who can be called Aryan or Arya as we Hindus would say it is because a group cannot be Arya. Because Arya is a designation for individual. It means noble. The reason that only Aryas could speak sanskrit is because it is a hard language to master and therefore individuals who can master it and write and converse in it are noble and therefore these individuals of are Aryan. They can be of any race or sex. What matters are qualities.

The archaeological and DNA evidence does give us an idea that the Yamnaya people, of Ukraine, were the ancestors of all Indoeuropeans. The channels Creganford and Dan Davis History do a good job of exploring the surprisingly large amount we can deduce about the Proto-Indo-European people. The Proto-Indo-Europeans are decended from the Early North Asians (ENA) of 20 thousand years ago, who (by dna evidence of an ENA boy buried in Siberia) were also close to the last common ancestors of the europeans and native Americans. These ENA people likely were some of the last hunters of mammoth on the plains of Eurasia. What we do know about the yamnaya was that they were extremely violently expansionist, but it seems very likely that they were highly fragmented as they expanded. The Aryans who conquered india from the northwest would have been politically totally separate from their cousins who conquered Europe from the east.

Hey TIK, since you mentioned Tolkien off-hand in this video, I was tempted to ask: Is there anything in The Silmarillion, The Lord Of The Rings, or any of Tolkien's notes or letters, that you'd interpret as him making social commentary (indirectly, considering his explicit hatred of allegory) on the politics and culture of his time?

[@christophertheriault3308]

I was shocked somebody from the UK would say something was "more entertaining" than Tolkien even if (hopefully) said in jest...

[@paulrevere2379]

Good question. I am currently reading LOTR again for maybe the 8th or 10th time and also watching videos from an exceptionally true to the book Tolkien geek. There are one or two videos very high on my 'watch later' list which deal with Tolkien's moral lessons, allegory, etc. Maybe you have already seen them, but if not let me know. It may be a couple days before I get to the right one (some are short and others 1hr+) I like to carefully watch and sometimes rewatch a video before making a specific recommendation, but if you are generally interested in Tolkein, then I can readily pass on the geek's KZbin name if you like. Just let me know.

[@Alex_Fahey]

Apostolic Majesty made some interesting videos in his Ardaranye series on the possible historical and mythological inspirations in Tolkien's works. However, I would be very hesitant to call any of it social commentary especially on current events. Tolkien was primarily focused on the creation of a 'real' world and taking elements that already exist in our very much real world whether in ancient mythology or concrete historical record makes that goal much easier to achieve.

[@paulrevere2379]

I don't see how when you say they were after an anachronistic Aryan golden age that didn't exist then immediately mention the ancient age of the proto Indo Europeans who went on to influence and take over (in many ways) much of the world at the time and the horse riders and chariot drivers descendants went on to be explicitly Aryan people. the 'sun cross' is everywhere in ancient Europe look at any north European carving, or tons of Mediterranean meanderings. Important to recall the Aryan was also how these people groups identified themselves. It's written in stone thousands of years ago. Look at the death stele of Darius the great. You say the rig veda says the leaders of the Aryans weren't arya but that's not true, if you read the rig veda it describes the chariot warriors explicitly.
