"Total Mobilization" is blowin my mind. It's a kind of 1930 Accelerationism, an ode to total war as singularity

Ernst Junger really has my attention now. He was a reluctant convert to "progress" after the defeat of feudal tradition in WW1. To him in 1930, the forces of progress include: Bolshivism, Americanism, Fascism and Zionism

Junger view of progress is that the entire society is mobilized towards one future. The future society is a an army of soldier-workers mobilized toward a single goal. Note the apparent Edward Bellamy influence

The essay begins on page 122, but but Wolin's intro is great on 119-122
