Our kosmotheasis (Greek for "weltanschauung") springs from the very age we are in, an epoch of enormous crisis and threats. Globally, the US Empire imposes an iron-glove pax americana, as once did the Roman Empire, threating all native cultures with the dark politics of Globalization. We oppose Globalization as it is the greatest Evil the World has ever known. It is the end of Nations and Peoples, Races and Cultures. It is the downfall of Civilization. At KUNSTKAMPF we view Globalization with deep concern, and commit ourselves to strike back. We fight it through art, hence Kampf durch Kunst (German for "Strife through Art"). We believe that Art does have a deep impact in the beholder, an impact oratory or common propaganda cannot surpass. Graphic art is visual, but trascends that dimension and enters the beholder's unconscious. In there it stamps a permanent mark. Its power comes from the fact that Art does not speak to the mind, but to the racial soul of the beholder, and it awakens what cold ideas cannot: the ancient warrior-spirit which is engraved in our archetype. Therefore Art is in most cases more effective than ideas and discussions, which always stay in the conscious (see "controllable") level of anyone's personality. Art is to us a tool of Agit-Prop, Agitation and Propaganda. And with Art as weapon, we wage the war to Globalization and aim to keep Greece Greek. Globalization can only be fought with National Civilization. Civilization encompasses several disciplines, among which there is Culture. Therefore this is a cultural war ("kulturkampf"). Kultur is the genuine, original and unique expression of a Folk's spirituality and archetypes. Since Art is part of culture, then for sure this is also a Kunstkampf ("War of Art"), hence the name. |
