“Nietzsche's The Antichrist was a response to the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf was a response to Lenin’s State and Revolution.”
Ernst Nolte

“The outstanding fact is not that Maurras arrived independently at formulas of radical conservatism which are ordinarily associated with Nietzsche, but which were in the air rather, the decisive factor is that Maurras calls his view 'sufficiently heathen and Christian to merit the beautiful title of Catholic'.”
Ernst Nolte

“The most central of Maurras's ideas have been seen to penetrate to this level. By ‘monotheism’ and ‘anti-nature’ he did not imply a political process: he related these terms to the tradition of Western philosophy and religion, and left no doubt that for him they were not only adjuncts of Rousseau's notion of liberty, but also of the Christian Gospels and Parmenides' concept of being. It is equally obvious that he regarded the unity of world economics, technology, science and emancipation merely as another and more recent form of ‘anti-nature’. It was not difficult to find a place for Hitler ideas as a cruder and more recent expression of this schema. Maurras' and Hitler's real enemy was seen to be ‘freedom towards the infinite’ which, intrinsic in the individual and a reality in evolution, threatens to destroy the familiar and beloved. From all this it begins to be apparent what is meant by ‘transcendence’.”
