The Secret Joy, A Painting by Richard Moult
°°°
A recent essay by an academic concerning Myatt’s idea of a rural homeland, which Myatt described toward the end of his years (1968-1998) as a neo-nazi activist, has renewed interest in the idea. Given the use by the author of that essay of fairly recent manufactured abstractions, based on theories such as “emotionology” to (re)interpret Myatt’s idea and Myatt himself in a particular, political and dehumanizing way, we present here (i) an overview of Myatt’s idea as evident in his writings; (ii) how, in our view, that idea manifested his non-racist (re)interpretation of National Socialism as evident in his Reichsfolk organization and such writings as his 111yf (2000) article Why National-Socialism is Not Racist written while he was on bail following his arrest in 1998, by Special Branch (SO12) as part of Operation Periphery, on suspicion of incitement/conspiracy to murder and incitement to racial hatred; and (iii) how that idea was ethically developed and finally, post-2010, rejected by Myatt along with his rejection of National Socialism.°°°
