And again, Douglas P. has adorned plenty of Nazi paraphernalia. However, as another anon pointed out in a previous thread, he also had Soviet uniforms or items (although I haven't actually seen photographic evidence of this and would appreciate it if anyone could supply some).

So to say that Nazi-ism and neofolk have nothing to do with each-other is only correct insofar as Neofolk can occur without Nazi integration. However they have historical ties in the formation of the music and it’s prevocational elements. And there’s good reason for that also: the Nazi ethos was in part about reclaiming and reviving a sense of connection to ones land and ancestry in the wake of a rapidly industrializing world with the potential to wipe out entire peoples and nutter their sense of connection with their historical home-place. And so it makes sense even just linguistically that a “Neo-folk” aesthetic would seek to bring symbols and aesthetics and innovations and styles of a particular tribe of people into a modern sensibility, just as the Nazis sought to do.

Now if you want to make the case against racial supremacy, that’s another thing. It’s hard to make the case that say, Germans were a superior peoples if they lost WWII. Being the supreme peoples and being losers is a hard paradox to justify.
But loving what you’re afraid to lose (a sense of shared history and unique history) might be a better characterization of what Neofolk is about.

But what the fuck do I know. I’m not even a Death in June fan, so here we are.
