Richard Nikolaus von Condenhowe-Kalergi - Stamp

UK: Email – What is My View Re: “Richard Nikolaus Graf von Coudenhove-Kalergi [1894–1972]” (3.11.2026)

I would suggest that Kalergi was a “fascist” and that he acquired this ideology from two distinct sources. The first is his father’s Catholicism and the second is his mother’s Imperial Japanese attitudes. Two very different cultures advocating varying versions of spiritual and cultural totalitarianism. Kalergi appears to have been accepted in the highly racist culture of Japan – and due to his aristocratic status – experienced a type of liberal acceptance in the West. This is very different to how “mixed” working class people experience life who possess no status or privileged friends. He was obviously not “White” and looked distinctly East Asian.  However, whilst living in the West, he sided with racist Western attitudes and applied that thinking to his Pan-European Union theory. Initially, Kalergi saw the US as a threat to European hegemony – but after WWII was forced to adjust his theory and hand it over to the US. Although Kalergi was financed by some Zionists – his general thought was more correctly “Imperial Japanese” adjusted to meet the needs of Eurocentric (colonial) racism. The EU, being anti-Socialist, demands the dissolving of unions, the loss of workers’ rights, and the mass importation of migrants from poorer areas (as they will work for lower wages). This is the EU removing Socialism from Europe and turning it into an economic backwater of the United States.
