Last Podcast On The Left · Episode 669: Anton LaVey Part IV - Old Wizards Die Hard · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

He was one of the founders, one of the first American Nazi parties.

Big figure.

But the...

group that he founded, the National Renaissance Party, it was taken from one of the last things Hitler wrote, in which Hitler said that springing forth from his death would be, quote, the seed of the radiant renaissance of the National Socialist Movement.

But Murtig was already an old man when he founded the NRP.

So, future friend of Anton LaVey, James Madol, he quickly took over as the leader of the National Renaissance Party in 1949.

But with Madol in charge, the NRP began exploring science fiction's other half, fantasy.

I prefer fantasy.

I'm a fantasy guy, you're a sci-fi guy.

That's how they'd get you.

That's how they...

Where's our Nazi westerns?

Before long, Madol was injecting the NRP with occult ideas that were a mixture of the fantasy stories Heinrich Himmler had picked up from German Volk writers and the speculative fiction of pulp magazines.

Madol began writing occult political treatises with names like The New Atlantis, a blueprint for an Aryan Garden of Eden in North America.

Don't discount Miami.

They're in a fucking race to the bottom of the ocean.

Oh, fingers crossed.

Well, in the New Atlantis, Madol predicted that once fascism took over and all the Jews and people of color were eliminated in America, the Aryan race would use its principles to take their ideology to the stars.

But in the real world, Madol was having a hard time putting his fantasy hierarchies into practice.

Nobody except a few morons were listening to his ideas as he shouted them from the street corners of New York City.
