Carl Schmitt on Bolsheviks - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 170 Fascism/Bolshevism/Schmitt: Schmitt regarded these movements as complex movements in which motives and energies of Marxism, anarchism and nationalism became effective in different ways, and he imputed to them an irrationalist "philosophy of concrete life" (1), which Sorel had captured in a prototype. >Marxism, >Anarchism, >Nationalism. Schmitt thus moved away from the self-image of the movements and developed his own strong and speculative interpretation. His view of "Moscow" was influenced by a typical contemporary Slavophilia (after Tolstoy and Dostoevsky). >Dostoevsky. Schmitt quoted Sorel and Mussolini for his assessment that "the energy of the national is greater than that of the class struggle myth" (2). In the end, he played Mussolini off against liberal parliamentarianism like Bolshevism. >Parliamentary system. 1.
