Right-Wing

Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property, religion, or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies.

Right-wing politics are considered the counterpart to left-wing politics, and the left–right political spectrum is one of the most widely accepted political spectrum. The right includes social conservatives and fiscal conservatives as well as right-libertarians. "Right" and "right-wing" have been variously used as compliments and pejoratives describing neoliberal, conservative, and fascist economic and social ideas.

Minor attraction and The Right Wing

Despite pedo-bashing being a favorite past-time among different identarian groups, many such accusations are partially or fully based on the truth. In the case of the political right, within the contexts of both Asian and European politics (and its derivatives), there’s a long-storied connection, often driven by traditionalism and a romantic view of the past, whilst religion also plays a major role in it.

This article will discuss the phenomenon of minor attraction in its various forms within the political right and its support among its adherents.

Among religious and social conservatives

Historically and across many cultures, it was a normative or accepted practice in society for the bride or female partner to be younger than the male, as the older male would have more resources to provide for the younger, nubile, and more fertile female partner. Based on evolutionary theory, male heterosexual attraction towards pubescent females (a normative aspect of human male sexuality) is relatively advantageous as women are often at the peak of their beauty around menarche, which is often the period at which their fecundity peaks, conferring them a reproductive advantage and greater success. So, it’s not surprising to not only see such relationships being widely documented from cross-cultural, cross-zoological, and historical evidence, but social conservatives picking on such facts to prove that adult men’s attraction to pubescent females is natural and thus society’s stigma on it is irrational.

Within religions, those that saw nothing wrong with intergenerational intimacy point to specific passages in their holy books and long-established legal precedents set by their religious jurists to support their position, as exemplified by the evidence available in all the three faiths. One such example are Islamic apologists like Daniel Haqiqatjou (of The Muslim Sceptic fame), who unlike his more “liberal” peers outright defends prophet Muhammad’s marriage with Aisha plus the practice of youth-adult marriage by utilizing many pro-MAP arguments alongside typical traditionalist ones,[1] as well as criticizing self-styled Islamic moderates that often acquiesce to western prejudices rather than completely defend Islamic theology. There are likely many other Islamic scholars that hold similar positions to Daniel on this matter.

Notable Christian examples include Tony Alamo and Warren Jeffs of the Alamo Christian Foundation and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDs), respectively. Both preachers were accused of facilitating marriages involving female minors and adult males as well as child sex abuse.[2][3] The FLDs would condone such practice under the Mormon doctrine of “celestial marriage” until 2008, when its policy was changed to allow marriages only within the legal American age. Similar accusations made against various Christian cults like the twelve tribes and the Church Universal and Triumphant of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, as well as The Family International of David Brandt Berg, who reportedly stated that God was love and love was sex", so that sex should not be limited by age or relationship, according to a former member.[4] The case of the Twelve Tribes is also of interest among scholar of moral panics, due to the controversy over the Island Pond raid that saw the judge presiding over the case dismissing every single child abuse charge over the search warrant being unconstitutional.[5] To this day, youth-adult marriage (counting only those below the age of 18) is a widespread practice among the Christian parts of Africa and Asia, as well as across both Americas,[6] suggesting that for many Christians the practice is deemed valid within their current cultural and religious norms, although such norms have been eroding over the years as a result of recent imperialistic pressure by the west.

Among adherents of Judaism, it’s of note that youth-adult marriage is still practiced among many within the Hasidic community, with some members attesting over the practice and recent arrests bringing the matter to light.[7][8]

Among non-Abrahamic religions, Hinduism stands out for the presence of scholars and philosophers that see nothing wrong with the practice of youth-adult marriage as documented in the Rigveda, the Atharvaveda, the Manusmriti, and the Dharmaśāstra.[9]

In modern times

Over the years, support for minor attraction among various spectrum of the right moved over into the secular realm, with the rise of the alt-right and the broader manosphere bringing forth arguments questioning the concept of an age of consent and criticizing the feminist stigmatisation of man-girl love and the common heterosexual male attraction to pubescent girls (i.e., hebephilia and ephebophilia) on the basis that such feminist outrage is often disingenuous and serves only the interest of a very prejudiced subsect of older and bitter women who want to stamp out sexual competition from younger and more desirable girls for the attention of the same men.

In the alt-lite, a more recent example is that of Matt Walsh, who once stated that society would benefit from having 16-year-old girls being pregnant, criticizing the current western problematization of teen pregnancy as being misleading, stating that the actual problem lies in how such births are generally out of wedlock.[10] In a car interview, he also questioned the entire framework of consent within sexual relationships, using the example of actress Asia Argento being accused of statutory rape of a 17-year-old boy to critique the age of consent.[11]

Alt-right personalities sympathetic to man-girl love include political commentators like Daily Stormer's founder Andrew Anglin, who uses a mix of both traditionalist and secular to argue against the age of consent and ridiculing the current wave of criminalization of female teachers having sex with their students,[12][13][14][15][16][17] and cozy.tv CEO Nick Fuentes, who argues that the age of consent is a feminist invention used by older women to block younger and more desirable (to straight men) teen girls from sexual competition as well as to lower the birth rate by discouraging sexual reproduction among the young, and thus being detrimental to the family and society as a whole.[18]

To note that Anglin is perhaps the only western right-winger that has ever analyzed the various British “grooming” scandals with the idea of the girls being co-conspirators rather than victims, thus breaking from the general right-wing Christian feminist consensus of seeing such girls as “victims” in all cases.[19] It should be noted though that they’re strictly speaking about man-teen girl love, as they generally condemn homosexuality and actual pedophilia (which they exclusively see an entirely homosexual phenomenon) in all its forms.[20]

Former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, despite his performative condemnation of MAPs as a woke phenomenon, had a history of defending intergenerational intimacy in certain instances, such as when he called the prospect of prosecuting a female teacher being arrested for lap-dancing in front of a student in a class "deranged," saying, "there's no victim here." In a later segment discussing the same incident, he said the lap dance would be "the greatest thing that ever happened," for most teen boys.[21] Carlson defended a relationship between a 16-year-old boy and his adult teacher, arguing that sex between the two wasn't rape, saying, "It's ludicrous that we are calling this a rape. Are you serious?" "You're this boy, and all of a sudden you're a rape victim? You pursue an older woman, and have a relationship with her, and you're a rape victim?"[22]

"The rapist, in this case, has made a lifelong commitment to live and take care of the person, so it is a little different. I mean, let's be honest about it," Carlson said of Jeffs' marriages, before clarifying that he's against the practice. Later, in the 2009 recording, he said, "If a guy wants to be polygamist, that's kind of his business ... I'm just telling you that arranging a marriage between a 16-year-old and a 27-year-old is not the same as pulling a stranger off the street and raping her."[23]

During his short political career, Nathan Larson had the unenviable distinction of belonging to all three groups discussed in this article. A mildly fascistic ("libertarian") and paraphilic MAP, he was shunned by many. Deemed as central to the incel/pedocel movement and peripheral to the MAP Movement in the late 00s and 10s, he is a highly divisive figure among MAPs, due not only to his views on race (advocating for what he termed as "benevolent white supremacy") but because of his misogyny and apparent advocacy for rape, which was likely insincere in part, but to a degree that is rarely agreed upon by most observers. As well as supporting the decriminalization of minor-adult sex, Larson also favored the legalization of child pornography, polygyny, and incest in his 2008 manifesto when he was still running an election to congress.[24] He was against the US Government's foreign interventionism and regime change agenda, and against what he saw as Jewish domination of the American political and financial systems. After being banned from Wikipedia, he then went on to contribute to and found various chat rooms and wikis supporting topics as disparate as inceldom and children's rights. He wound up starving himself to death in a jail cell after being charged with kidnapping and other felonies for bringing a 12-year-old girl as a sign of protest.[25]

Within the manosphere, the view on heterosexual attraction varies wildly, from outright condemnation to the embrace of at least heterosexual hebephilia in various parts of the movement, while other show apathy to it, viewing the issue as peripheral and not worth the trouble. The case of the “pedocel” and advocacy for the lowering of the age of consent to puberty is well documented in the incelosphere.

An example of such embrace comes from James C. Weidmann, founder of the now-defunct pick-up blog Chateau Heartiste, who justifies male attraction to teenage girls as being a natural part of male sexuality:

It is a fact of life that young teenage girls who have developed secondary sexual characteristics are desired by men of all ages, even 90-year-olds. And these exquisite nymphets, in turn, desire older men for their power. These desires are natural and frightening to the keepers of the order. They provoke the envy of the left behind, and so are condemned.[26]

Among masculinist and men’s rights activists (MRAs), the views begins to vary wildly, with past MRAs often being critical of the age of consent and how it disproportionately affects men and fuels the current stigmatization of male heterosexuality in western society and viewing the age of consent largely as part of the many feminist legislation that harms men, although few if any have ever gone to expand their critique beyond their support for hebephilia.[27] Another notable figure within the movement includes the (now deceased) Angry Harry, who has vehemently opposed the NSPCC for its demonization of men and for what he essentially saw an abuse industry in itself,[28][29][30] as well as taking shots at the iatrogenic harm induced by the mainstream media,[31] in particular tabloids. He would also go on to celebrate Michael Jackson’s non-guilty verdict as a victory for men in general over the hysterical and misandrist society.[32]

Another example includes former MRA and current male sexualist Eivind Berge, who calls into question the age of consent and the various laws surrounding it (such as the Rome and Juliet exemptions),[33][34] on the top of defending pedophilia in general (making him exceptional in the manosphere) women-boy relationships that don’t involve actual abuse that are still criminalized due to the equalization of statutes for statutory rape by late feminists,[35] which runs contrary to the condemnatory tone of such matters by the mainstream modern MRAs of the likes of Paul Elam’s AVFM, who instead see the very recent criminalization of woman-boy relationships as another example of misandry and society’s hypocrisy over societal views on child sex abuse when the victims are male. To this day, few prominent MRAs ever criticize the entire concept of an age of consent, let alone.

Such activists include Robert Lindsay and the website Night Wind, who have gone against the current dogmatic American hysteria over adult-teen intimacy and the modernist idea that “kids can’t consent to sex”,[36][37] as well as attacking the recent panic over sexting and its mainstream portrayal as another form of abuse,[38] on the top of levying arguments against the age of consent as being illogical and being ideologically-driven.[39][40]

Pederasty and the right-wing

Despite the idea being seemingly contradictory and subject to humor and derision in mainstream discourse, there is a long history of association between right-wing ideology and homoerotic aesthetics (in particular, pederasty, particularly amongst West European and Japanese fascists, who draw their justifications from their respective ancient cultures.

Past epochs

In the European context, antecedents include ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who in his Phaedrus and Symposium extensively describes the reality of the attraction between people of the same sex (including pederasty), and then in the Laws reject it and condemn it. In the ancient Roman context, pederasty was condensed down to a practice between a more dominant male and a more passive one, to preserve semblances of masculinity. With the exception of Claudius, every Julio-Claudian Roman emperor often “lapsed”, so to speak, into “anti-natural” behavior during their lifetime, or accused of such after their deaths: Julius Caesar nicknamed the “Queen of Bithynia and the wife of all husbands”; Augustus who was called with contempt Octavia; Tiberius who in Capri preferred barely pubescent boys and called them his “little fish”; Bisexual and incestuous Caligula; Nero who castrates his teenage slave Sporus and then crowns him as royal bride. But other emperors weren’t immune to this, with Hadrian and his profound affection for Antinous to the point of deifying the latter being a notable example.[41]

In Asia, the orientalist Leonardo Vittorio Arena points to the promiscuous activities within Buddhist monasteries of the IX century as the origin of codified homosexuality among Japanese samurai, that differs from Greek pederasty in that it’s the young novice that is supposed to take the initiative with the more mature partner. This lineage of homoeroticism that starts from the Buddhist monk-novice relationships to samurai culture, culminates with nationalist author Yukio Mishima and his seppuku (i.e., ritualized suicide) of 1970.[42][43]

Modern era: Neoclassic, romantic, and homoerotic aesthetics

Historian George Mosse affirms the existence of a continuity regarding the paradigm of beauty and masculinity that starts with German art historian and archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann and his detailed and rigorous descriptions of Greco-Roman art, which reaches for example to the Third Reich’s noted sculptor Arno Breker, or Albert Speer, Hitler’s favourite architect.[44] Winckelmann’s subsequent influence on various German figures such as Nietzsche, Spengler and Goethe have been provocatively dubbed as the “tyranny of Greece over Germany”.[45] The Greek virile body, re-discovered via Winckelmann’s descriptions, would later be used by the various European nationalist movements as the normative ideal for European masculinity.

About his veneration for Greek sculpture, however, Winckelmann (along with August von Platen and Michelangelo Buonarroti) denies that there is a relationship between perfect beauty and the desire to have sexual relations with this beauty. Indeed, Neoclassicism is not limited to exhuming exclusively the aesthetic scope of the classical era, but also re-proposes its behavioural ideology in its entirety, including therefore also the side of social-interpersonal-sexual relationships. Hence the emphasising of Greek pederasty which occupies a central place even in ancient philosophical discussions: homosexuality and passion for classicism will for a long time be considered intrinsically interconnected.[46]

The conservative German nobility was the undisputed protagonist of the grand tour across Europe, with Italy and Greece being a popular destination for many who were fascinated with classical culture. Such noblemen would include literary and cultural giants like: Winckelmann (fatally stabbed by a rent boy in Trieste); count August von Platen, the inspiration for the protagonist of Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice (died of cholera in Syracuse); Steel magnate Friedrich Alfred Krupp (committing suicide in 1902 following accusations that he engaged in orgies with Italian boys); Photographer Wilhelm Von Gloeden, whose works in Taormina featuring Sicilian boys is deemed seminal in male nude photography.

At the same time that Friedrich Engels, one of the founding fathers of communism and close collaborator of Karl Marx, threw his disgust against the abominable vice of the pederasts in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" (1884) denouncing Greek antiquity because of the extreme unpleasantness caused by their love for boys, Friedrich Nietzsche, whom some Nazi politicians had attempted to appropriate as "one of the pillars of right-wing thought" (in order to attempt to give a halo of legitimacy to the Nazi-fascist 'thought'), stated instead in the aphorism 259 of “Human, Too Human” (1879):

The erotic relationships of men with young people were, to a degree not accessible to our understanding, the necessary and only assumption of any virile education [...]. Young people have never been treated so carefully, so lovingly, with such an absolute regard to their good again

Germany: The pioneers of gay rights activism, gay German youth, and Nazism

The German Empire in the late 19th century served as the birthplace of the initial homosexual movement, with figures like Karl Heinrich Ulrichs and Magnus Hirschfeld pioneering gay rights activism. A lawyer and journalist, Ulrichs publicly declared his sexual preferences in 1867, advocating for the repeal of repressive laws before dying in exile in 1895. Hirschfeld succeeded him, establishing a Scientific-Humanitarian Committee in 1897 and an Institute for Sexual Research in 1919, providing medical, psychological, and legal support for homosexuals, though the institute was later targeted and destroyed by the Nazis in 1933. Notable signatories to Hirschfeld's petition to repeal paragraph 175 of German law criminalizing “acts against nature” included Stefan Zweig, Albert Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, and Thomas Mann. Despite these efforts, a wave of homophobia swept Germany following the Eulenburg affair of 1907-09.[47] Concurrently, Adolf Brand founded Der Eigene in 1896, the first homosexual periodical in the world, advocating "outing" famous gay men and challenging societal norms. Brand's radicalism contrasted with Hirschfeld's socialism, and his writings are reclaimed by romanticist anarchists (although they often omitted his racialist, nationalist and elitist views).

In 1903, Adolf Brand, militant activist of Jewish ancestry Benedict Friedlaender, and dozens of their colleague would go on to form "Gemeinschaft der Eigenen (GdE)", translated as “Community of the Specials/Unique), a community that would completely reject Hirschfeld’s vision of homosexuality as being too effeminate, preferring instead to promote the virility of homosexuality, with some GdE members advocating for Greek-classical practice of pederasty as a pedagogical social institution; that is, a relationship between an adult man and a teenage boy before marriage. They also rejected Hirschfeld's efforts to create a coalition with the socialist left and the feminist movement, instead adopting a widespread anarchist attitude inspired by individualism or absolute egoism of Stirnerian brand and Nietzsche's radical cultural criticism.

John Henry MacKay (1864-1933) was an “individualist” anarchist. In 1905, he campaigned for the depenalization of relations between adult men and adolescents (a position disapproved of by Magnus Hirschfeld), and published brochures that earned him prosecution and a fine. One of these books romanticizes the author’s love for boys (from 14 to 17 years old). MacKay wrote widely: works of propaganda (The Anarchists, 1891), sometimes to pay the bills, or for his own pleasure, like The Swimmer, and a biography of Stirner. Richard Strauss set MacKay’s love poems to music.[48]

Gustav Wyneken, German pedagogue and writer was neither to the far-right nor a left-wing extremist, but his influence on educational theory, while not free from controversy due to his favoritism towards idealistic pederasty, were very influential not only in his time, but beyond, with his ideas of “youth culture” and “pedagogic eros” giving inspiration to movements like the Wandervogel (officially founded in 1901) and Brand’s GdE.

The Wandervogel movement quickly became the prominent youth movement in the nation, aiming to be an organization in constant empathy with the natural environment. It emphasized freedom from adult supervision, spontaneity, and responsibility towards others, alongside a spirit of adventure, while ideologically adopting a strongly nationalist approach rooted in tradition and highlighting Germany's Teutonic (mythical pagan) roots, inspired by ancient Greece and the naturalist movement.

In 1912, journalist and writer Hans Blüher, a leading figure in this far-right youth homosexual movement, published an essay titled "The Wandervogel Movement as an Erotic Phenomenon," subtitled "Contribution to the Recognition of Sexual Inversion." His writings have rarely been translated in English, but as of 2024, an English pamphlet created by a relatively obscure defunct French MAP political organization, had become freely available online.[49] Blüher clearly states that the common denominator binding these young males together is Eros, meaning erotic attraction between individuals of the same sex, and he further asserts that homoerotic impulses are fundamental for forging bonds of masculine friendship, with its parallel celebration of camaraderie among males (pure community of men), thus assumes a genuine cultural role. Thus, only this cultural-social system allows for the creation of a community composed of heroic natures, charismatic leaders capable of attracting valiant warriors. This sublimated homosexual erotic tension manifests as an excess of energy, a vital force that, unable to find physical expression, culminates in the "creative genius" of a “Mannerbund” or society of men.

Blüher later revisits the same themes between 1917 and 1919 with the two volumes of "The Role of Eroticism in Male Society." His books soon become cult texts among homosexuals, including some Nazi leaders, notably Ernst Rohm. In 1921, "Eros" is published, an essay by pedagogue Gustav Wyneker that exalts love between boys; in 1926, "Youth and Eros" by lawyer Erich Ebermayer, an explicit defense of adolescent homosexuality and pederasty. The latter text was publicly appreciated by Thomas Mann himself.

This homoeroticism, as represented by these movements, had less to do with free love than to do with building a relational hierarchy between men, where the selection of an elite to lead the masses would take place among males, in particular this individualistic idea of a fraternity of men would essentially separate the boy from the mother’s (and women’s) negative influences and thus be raised to be a “real man” with actual masculine vigor, with these values being inculcated on the boy via scouting and other hierarchical organizations. As such, pederasty and fraternal relationships would serve to morally reinvigorate what they saw as a morally decadent society.[50]

His ideas about the "manly alliance" between males, against the woman's "devirilizing" influence, however, were viewed with hostility by the Nazi hierarchies, especially after the night of the long knives physically liquidated the group of people most sensitive to Blüher's theories, as homosexual themselves. In a secret speech given by Himmler to the SS in 1937, Blüher's ideas are expressly indicated as dangerous and to be opposed.[51]

D’Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume

Defend the beauty! This is your only office. Defend the dream that is in you!

- Gabriele D’Annunzio

Futurism, an Italian cultural and artistic movement that had its start in the early 20th century, held a more libertine attitude on sexuality for its time, where instead of a rigid heterosexuality-homosexuality binary there was, if anything, a clear distinction between active and passive sexuality. Futurists ultimately only despised effeminacy with its cheesy and too languid attitudes.

The hypocrisy in this regard had a significant exception in 1919-20, during the enterprise of Fiume (now Rijeka) by rebel units of the Royal Italian Army under the command of the poet-warrior Gabriele D’Annunzio, at the time a city contested between the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (i.e., monarchist Yugoslavia) following World War 1. His occupation, motivated by Italian irredentism, gave life to the Italian Regency of Carnaro, which would last for sixteen months. To give us direct testimony is the bisexual writer Giovanni Comisso, who participated in the action when he was 24 years old: Transgression of the norms, mass rebelliousness, sexual freedom, homosexuality, drug use, originality of attitudes, were the main characteristics of this counter-society.[52]

The occupation of the Istrian city constitutes a transgressive social experiment, especially in terms of sexuality. Futurist Mario Carli, in his book "Trillirì" (1922), says in no uncertain terms that pushing many volunteers to Fiume would have been precisely the open sexuality, hence the presence of the widest variety of people, "from the colonel looking for women to the pederast looking for boys".

One day from the window of his office D'Annunzio saw the Arditi [Royal Italian elite troops] going two by two towards the hill and pointed to them saying: "Look at my soldiers, they go in pairs like Pericles' soldiers.

- Giovanni Commiso, Le mie stagioni (2002)

As mentioned, the futurist vision of sex is very open and this is well reconciled with the very libertarian climate that pervades the whole enterprise; everyone, transgressively, has the right to experience "unlimited enjoyments, amusements and free flow of desires, uninhibited behaviours and devoid of any moralism.[53] Moreover, the Commander-Vate, after his famous "Eia! Eia! Eia! Alalà!!", he concluded with the cry of "Long live Love!".

The Charter of Carnaro provided for universal male and female suffrage, freedom of opinion, religion and sexual orientation, the decriminalisation of homosexuality, nudism, and drug use.[54] The enterprise would come to an end when the rebels, in opposition to the treaty of Rapallo between Italy and Yugoslavia, were forcefully removed from the city by the Italian royal army in the Bloody Christmas of 1920.

The event was a transformative moment for Italian history, as not only it was seen as the weakening of the Italian government in domestic affairs, but also many of the nationalist organizations that took part in the occupation eventually merged into the Italian fascist party, and the event influenced fascist thought for years to come, especially on Benito Mussolini himself.

France: Pederasty and WW2 collaborationism

Sociological problem: why so many pederasts among the collaborators?

- Jean Guéhenno

Journalist and writer Robert Brasillach, after his indictment for treason by the liberated French government, was shot in February 1945. His case is among the most unique ones, for he was condemned not for his actions so much as for his thoughts: He adhered to national socialist ideology and doctrine, defined by him as “the poetry of the XX century”. Among his contemporaries, many attest to his homosexuality.

Chief among them are Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean-Louis Bory, and Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, who thought of him as an effeminate pederast, with Bory using Brasillach as a prime example of the strong homoerotic nature of the collaborationist environment during the German occupation of Paris as part of his 1976 documentary. Jean-Paul Sartre thought that Drieu himself was a pederast, depicting him as a visionary dandy and lover of youthful rent-boys, but also of strong and virile German soldiers.[55]

Dominique Fernandez argues that the writer's homosexuality was latent - repressed, and therefore extremely harmful -, a fact that he began to participate in the annual Nuremberg ceremonies and visit the campsites of Hitler's youth from which he returned each time literally ecstatic; his homophilia as well as aesthetic tension towards homoeroticism constitutes, according to Mosse, an exemplary case about the homoerotic impulses widespread throughout Nazi culture.

Brasillach’s entire literary work revolves around the concept of strong male friendship, the camaraderie among men free from the hindrance of female presence, often explicitly referencing pederastic relationships. This is particularly evident in his first book from 1931, "Présence de Virgile," an authentic apology for homoeroticism: "Virgil loved to surround himself with young men. A boy of perfect beauty, who wrote poems and sang them while playing the flute, lived in his house. And often Virgil was captivated by the ambiguous charm of his own sex... Anyone who found this way of loving or this form of pleasure natural." Regarding his admired and intimate friendship with his contemporary (and future brother-in-law) Maurice Bardèche, as well as a figure in the French radical right, many gossiped, soon nicknaming them "Brasillecher and Bardache" (lèche in French means "lick," while bardache/bardassa refers to a young male prostitute).[56]

Children who will one day become twenty-year-old young men will learn with dark wonder about the existence of this exaltation, the youth camps, the glory of the past, the parades, the heroes fallen in combat, the friendship among young people of all nations... Communism, too, has its own greatness, equally exhilarating. It may even be that, in a thousand years, the two Revolutions of the twentieth century will be confused.

- Robert Brasillach[57]

Apart from Brasillach, there are other French collaborationists who were homosexuals, such as Roger Peyrefitte, author of the book “Les Amitiés particulières”, who faced accusations of collaborationism over his diplomatic work for the Vichy regime.

The post-war French New Right
