THE WEIMAR AESTHETIC OF FRITZ LANG

Metropolis: Lang’s most openly left-wing 
film, but also his most fascistic.

by Jake Bowyer

Sometime not long after Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, Joseph Goebbles, the Reich Minister of Propaganda, approached a monocled Austrian with a proposition: make films for the Third Reich. The filmmaker, one Fritz Lang, had originally approached Herr Goebbles with another proposition about the lifting of the Nazi Party’s ban on his film The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933). Goebbles responded with: “The Fuhrer and I have seen your films and the Fuhrer made clear that ‘this is the man who will give us the National Socialist film.’”

BEER WITH NAZIS?

“What is the alt-right?” people are asking, including the alt-right themselves. Other say it’s a stupid question, or there is no qualification, or the only litmus test is being pro-white. I have another idea.

“No enemies to the left, no friends to the right” is a basic rule of leftism. And it’s a basic rule of Buckley conservatism, or neoconservatism, or cuck conservatism. All these movements police to the right.
