My guess the recently departed Smocker reads Revilo Oliver and figures Revilo was the director.

An interesting comparison to Pat though, perhaps he’s simply a populist Oliver, the academic stuff doesn’t make for good sound bite, or editorials. I don’t read enough of Oliver to know if it’s a good fit (actually I note another poster doesn’t think I read at all), but in any case they’re both a generation late, maybe on the wrong continent.

There's a web site (which I won't link to) that perpetuates Oliver's ideas and writings, and I'll tell you one thing, whatever one might say about him, he was not a populist. He was an avowed atheist and materialist for whom only the natural world existed and who ridiculed even those on his side who were so foolish as to believe in the Jewish G-d, the Bible, or even in the existence of the human soul. Not even "aryans" had souls, according to him, and he heaped scorn on people who opposed abortion as "murder." For him the only consideration was "aryan" population, and his stands on abortion were based on that factor alone. And he considered it a "crime against nature" to allow the "unfit" to live. Moreover, he not only attacked chr*stianity (though of course he was always ready to pose as one when called upon to do anonymous ghost-writing for "chr*stian" anti-Semites) but attacked its pre-Constantinian make-up as "proles" who brought about the decline of the Roman Empire.

Oliver was really the ultimate anti-Semite, the man who laid out in plain sight their innermost secrets. One of his most interesting assertions was that "good" and "evil" are concepts totally alien to the "aryan" mind (the trouble with Communism was that it was yet another Jewish crusade against "evil"). And he carried this argument to its logical conclusion by insisting that anti-Semites who call Jews "evil" or "the synagogue of Satan" are still corrupted by Judaism and will remain so until they rid themselves of the "false" good/evil duality. In fact, while he dedicated his whole life to opposing the Jews, he insisted they were simply doing what they were supposed to do!

I think that sums up as neatly as possible the ultimate relativism of anti-Semitism, the notion that nothing objective exists beyond the subjective values of the race.

I was thinking of Buchanan as the populist, as opposed to the academic, version. Keep the message simple and understandable
