The Futurist State and Other Works of Historical Fiction The Nazi TMZ, otherwise known as FashFront, has announced recently that it is publishing a book. FashFront launched as a neo-Nazi forum attempting to recreate the infamous Iron March, but has since evolved into something closer to a celebrity gossip site for fascists—complete with the same commitment to drama and the same absence of self-awareness. So what remains to be written by people whose worldview mostly boils down to “it’s the Jews, stupid”? The answer, apparently, is an 89-page pamphlet called The Futurist State. FashFront publishes through something called the Thousand Year Publication — named after a Reich that lasted twelve years. Excellent branding. To understand why this is worth examining at all, one first has to understand how thin the fascist literary tradition actually is. Competing political traditions such as communism and anarchism generated hundreds of thinkers and vast libraries of literature. Fascism, by contrast, has a much narrower canon—which helps explain why neo-Nazis remain fixated on texts like Siege and The Turner Diaries: not because they are good, but because the shelf is nearly empty. This is what happens when a movement effectively bans political theory and literature produced by radicals, Jews, feminists, LGBTQ people, people of color, or anyone else who deviates from its narrow worldview. The available reading list fits comfortably on a nightstand—a very small nightstand. So when someone on the far right produces something even marginally coherent, it becomes analytically worth noting in the same way a dog walking on its hind legs is worth noting. You are not impressed by the quality; you are impressed that it is happening at all.
