FTR#1426: Adam Parfrey, Boyd Rice and Counter-Culture Fascism, Part 2
Introduction: The second program of a three-part series, this broadcast further develops the Nazi and White Supremacist efforts and ideology underpinning Adam Parfrey, a publisher whose fascist outlook and professional works have flown largely below the radar.
The program also introduces the fascist ideology and Nazi-fellow traveling of Parfrey’s Abraxas Clique associate Boyd Rice.
An important recent book by Spencer Sunshine details the efforts of the two most important members of the Abraxas Clique, a neofascist “think tank,” that aimed at the creation and dissemination of “countercultural fascism.”
Combining a fixation with, and idealization of, Charles Manson with elements of Satanism and traditional Nazi and White Supremacist rhetoric and ideology, Parfrey, Rice and Abraxas helped mint a significant, though largely overlooked, stratum in the contemporary and ongoing fascist political landscape.
These connections and Boyd Rice’s outlook and pronouncements will be further fleshed out in the third program in this series.
The phenomenon of counter-culture fascism, the Manson operation and related topics are covered in, among other programs, FTR#‘s 437, 1085, 1163, 1164, 1165 and FTR#‘s 1391, 1392, 1393.
1.The work of the Abraxas Clique is synopsized by Spencer Sunshine as follows:

” . . . . Part of the goal of the Abraxas Clique’s interest in 1960s figures like Manson, [Church of Satan founder] Anton] La Vey . . . . was to help build a lineage of ‘countercultural fascism.’ ”. . . This vision of a reactionary cultural movement was not based on traditional forms, but rather avant-garde and iconoclastic approaches–was another way in which the Alt Right of the 2010s inherited the fruits of Abraxas Clique’s labors. . . .”
From defunct “Unpop Art” site, run by Adam Parfrey and Boyd Rice.
2.Parfrey’s political outlook is exemplified by his communications with Nazi theoretician James Mason, whose Siege was published with Parfrey’s assistance.

” . . . . Yeah, the Jews got pissed at that magazine I sent you. None of them want to see my friend Hitler get his due . . . [Hitler] lifted the pride of the white people up and tried to get rid of the commies and exile the Jews where they wouldn’t hassle anyone but themselves . . . But of course ‘society’ is making an ‘example’ of Charles Manson in the same way they made an example of the Germans at Nuremburg . . . . I was looking for a spot 3,000 miles away from California, and found it in spades and spics and Jews and rich assholes . . . I want to work with you, but more than that, I hail you with a stiff-armed salute from ground zero. . . .”
3.Another revealing passage is contained in a later communication between Parfrey and Mason:

” . . . . I’m counting on heavy censorship, condemnation and subtle boycotts by ZOG [Zionist Occupation Government] when it appears. I’m trying to get together a book written by nigger and spic gang members on youth gangs for release at about the same time. To me, letting these cocaine-addled nigger murderers prattle on about their miserable lives will be rope enough for them to hang themselves. But then I can always point to the book when the ADL gets on my case about racism, neo-Nazism, etc. . . .”
4.Highlighting Parfrey’s bigotry against Latinos and his anticipation of “The Great Replacement Theory” that has become a watchword in the second Trump regime, Parfrey wrote to [important Nazi theoretician and practitioner James] Mason:

“ . . . . a country that is overcome by immigrants of racial difference would have been called an ‘invasion.’ I live in a Mexican gang neighborhood, gunfire every night. Many of the Mexicans who move here aren’t aware that we have flush toilets, so many deposit their babies’ shitty diapers in public places. . . . What might happen when these people can’t get food stamps or welfare? What about a simple drought or a severe economic situation? I don’t look forward to those times , but I do have front row seats to the apocalypse. . . .”
5.Exemplifying and illustrating Parfrey’s ideological orientation is his description of the Second World War. Note that he omits all reference to the Pacific theater of war.

“ . . . . Parfrey described that war [World War II] as ‘really a civil war between white people, and white people have been feeling guilty about themselves ever since.’. . .”
6.Pafrey’s journalistic ethics are illustrated by an excerpt from his writing in Nazi Robert Heick’s Aryan Warrior.
Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism: The Origins and Afterlife of James Mason’s Siege by Spencer Sunshine; Routledge Press [SC]; Copyright 2024 by Spencer Sunshine; ISBN 978–0‑367–19060‑6; p. 217.
“ . . . . He [Parfrey] also specifically mentioned that [Nazi Robert] Heick’s Aryan Warrior included ‘contributions from a Manson-inspired group called the Abraxas Foundation that preaches a doctrine of evil’—while conveniently omitting his own membership in said group. . . .”
7.Parfrey manifested a virulent, profane misogynism.

“ . . . . In Kevin Coogan’s article [‘How Black is Black Metal/’] one of the endnotes said ‘Feral House types hated women like Andrea Juno.’ Parfrey replied that ‘Not one word has ever been printed in a Feral House book insulting or even discussing Andrea Juno.’ Coogan’s reply was to quote an interview where Parfrey himself called Juno ‘a psychotic cunt.’. . .”
8.Parfrey’s significance in the expansion of important Nazi James Mason’s ideology is encapsulated in a communication to Parfrey by Mason:

“ . . . . In late 1992, Mason thanked Parfrey for being ‘primarily the one that first picked up my old leaflets from the mid-Seventies and breathed new life into my stuff’ and sold him the mockups of his late 1970s flyers and magazines. Parfrey was also thanked in Siege and after he got is copy, told Mason that, ‘I’m bowled over by the SIEGE book’ and that ‘it’s better than good: it’s definitive!’. . .”

NB: This post contains strong language, which may prove offensive to many. Mr. Emory feels it is important to present Parfrey’s ideological pronouncements in all of their candor, in order to present an unerring presentation of his political outlook.
