Revolution seemed to be in the air in the 1930s. The Nude Eel was floundering about, experimenting but the Great Depression continued. FDR & the Democrats bought time by extending relief to individuals. This was something Hoover & the Republicans refused to do. They wanted relief at the Federal level only for big companies like with their Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Most people talking of revolution thought of communism. But Lawrence Dennis as a Nationalist and an American was opposed to the classic Proletarian Revolution of left-wing dreams. Instead, Dennis proposed a middle-class revolution.

He raised these technical objections to Communist Revolution. He felt it would involve a high degree of violence & disorder. “Going against the American kulaks,” was how he phrased it. This meant liquidating many competent managers and experts. Whereas Dennis wished to utilize the skills of present bosses to economize the human resources of society.

Remember Lawrence Dennis was specific in that which he wished to accomplish. In his 1932 book, IS CAPITALISM DOOMED?, he made a closely argued attack on the policy of allowing investment bankers to determine the use & allocation of capital. But he didn’t hesitate or shrink from what needed to be done.

He was flat out for a dictatorship. States rights & the tripartite division of government would be abolished in favor of a highly centralized government which would exercise powers of a truly nation state. This was something Francis Parker Yockey would argue was something America never had.

Since the multi-party system was utterly incompatible with the successful pursuit of any possible scheme of national interest, there would have to be a single national party. This party would probably have a militarized type of organization.

Banks and basic monopolies would be nationalized; as, of course, the Federal Reserve. The rest of business would be place under strict public regulation. Above all, Dennis emphasized that a regime of discipline was a necessity.

Who would make this revolution? Dennis felt it would not come from big business or the elite professionals. Rather, he felt that the frustrated elite of the lower middle classes, the sinking members of the middle class in danger of being de-classed, here is where the revolutionary impulse would come from.

This is the opposite of the Obama schema of the top using the bottom against the middle. It should also be obvious that the aging, well-off base of the Tea Party would play NO role as well.

Neither militant labor nor reactionary capital but the insurgent middle class!
