| description | The purpose of the article is to highlight the fascist heritage in Oswald Mosley’s post-war europeism. His pan-European ideas are examined as part of a full-fledged ideology in its evaluative, prescriptive, strategic and stylistic dimensions, stressing the invariants in his approach from the 1930s. It thus emerges that his very own post-1945 plan for a Greater Europe is not the mere extension of his pre-war dream of a Greater Britain to a wider geographical area, but also a geopolitical construct which revives the fundamentals of historical fascism. Although Mosley’s fears, rejections and activist style are then revisited to suit their new context of post-war deligitimation of fascism, decolonisation, growing globalisation and cold war, they are all still based on the same ideological bedrock and still champion identical totalitarian objectives. |
