Il contadino come linfa vitale della razza nordica

Richard Walter Darré, Obergruppenführer delle SS e membro anziano del gabinetto di Adolf Hitler, fu ministro dell'alimentazione e dell'agricoltura del Reich fino al 1944. Le sue idee, come elaborate in Il contadino come linfa vitale della razza nordica e il suo stimolante seguito, Una nuova nobiltà di sangue e di terra, si rivelò estremamente influente sul pensiero nazionalsocialista e rafforzò notevolmente l'ala agraria e agricola del partito.

In this book, Darré examines Nordic civilizations and convincingly argues from multiple angles-biology, history, archaeology, animal breeding, religion, and philosophy-that without a robust and prosperous peasantry at the foundation, holding up the thinkers and decision makers at the top, their societies inevitably wither and fail. By demonstrating the stark differences between what he terms as the inherently peasant Nordic race and the various nomadic races, Darré captures a duality between the civilization-building and the civilization-destroying races of the world. He argues that the peasant and nomadic characteristics of these respective races are inherent to their being-coded in their genetics. Importantly, he puts forward the claim that the rootless and destructive nature of a nomadic race is not limited to wandering the steppe and raiding on horseback. In the modern era, these same nomadic races torch civilizations in much more sophisticated ways: exploitative capitalism, Bolshevism, and sexual degeneracy.
