Summary/Abstract: Francis Parker Yockey (1917-1960) was an American fascist activist whose political sympathies drifted towards the Stalinist Soviet Union after the collapse of the Axis States. A critical discourse analysis of the works of the American author will provide answers to a number of questions about the relationship between fascism, and its racist connotations, and the Soviet Union. The article explains how the Nazi sympathiser transfers his sympathies to communist countries and the arguments he uses to convince other extreme right-wing circles in the US and Europe to join his cause. The methodology used to analyse the work of the American fascist is that of the New Historicism. The work of this political activist is set in the context of the era, juxtaposed with the activities of other fascist politicians. According to the American, democratic Anglo-Saxon countries came under the pernicious influence of 'cultural parasites' which would soon lead to their downfall. At the same time, Yockey acknowledged that the anti-Semitic USSR was becoming a state free of the pernicious influence of Jews and embodied heroic ideals close to fascists, Nazis, or even traditionalists. In order to save the West as a whole, it was necessary to unite Europe under the aegis of a conservative, anti-capitalist nationalist regime, which he believes was slowly being born in Moscow. The article attempts to analyse the American's views in general, and juxtaposes his journalism with the writings of authors, politicians, and thinkers (e.g. Oswald Spengler, Oswald Mosley) who had a particular influence on his work, and from whom he clearly differed.
