What happened to the old European aristocracy ? What ways did aristocrats take after the debacle of 1945 ?
The questions are very apropos. Doubtlessly European integrity and culture would have been in better shape with the presence of opinions, taste, spirit and challenges from aristocrats in political and cultural debates. Aristocrats, as aristocrats, are simply inexistent. The explanation must be that they were highly compromised with the today politically wrong vitalism of the 20th century, that they were deeply engaged in the forces of Nazism and Fascism. To which extent the European aristocracy was Nazi is difficult to know since humanistic researchers and other modernistic intellectuals are uninterested in the question. It is true that the presence of aristocrats in our societies after the Materialistic Revolution of 1945 became absurd. The new ideology was Equality, Commercialism and Jewish Death Cult, such “values” being diametrically opposite to old European aristocratic taste and reason.
