Prussian Socialism Episode 7: Richard Coudenhove Kalergi: the Evil Mischling

Prussian Socialism Episode 7: Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi: The Evil Mischling.

The half-Japanese aristocrat, Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, is notorious as a promoter of race-mixing and globalism. But was that all there is to the man? Was Kalergi just a foaming-at-the-mouth defender of multiculturalism and Jewish power? Greg Conte and William discuss the life and writings of this now nearly forgotten Japo-Austrian noble, who was one of the key players in the formation of today's European and World orders.

Since his childhood, Kalergi took an intense interest in languages and philosophy. In his mid-20s, he started a movement to form a united Europe, to be led by intellectuals, statesmen, artists and financiers. Backed by Warburg money, Paneuropa was the talk of the European elite in the inter-war years.

But then Kalergi's well-laid plans were frustrated by a man who, in his view, was no more than a low-born, uneducated, Alpine peasant. It wasn't until almost a decade later that the Count was able to link up with the likes of Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle and to--at last--turn Paneuropa into a reality.

Given his seeming importance, why is Kalergi so little talked about today? Why are most of his works untranslated? Was he a villainous genius, a Jewish puppet, or something else? Greg and William cover all this and more and conclude that the European Union might in fact be worse than Kalergi even intended!
