You are be mistaken. The Problems of the present had been fore seen (?). Par example Spengler and Haushofer described very well the problems of demography in 1917(Read the decline of the west- a book which had been a world wide bestseller) , which will exterminate the western world. In the 20s in germany the word "Gebärstreik" (Strike of birth for the bad fertility rate) had been used the first time. Van den Bruck said in allusion to Karl Marx that in europe had been go around a ghost, which name is liberalism. Liberalism killed the spirit of the european countries. the German Philosophs which i enumerated, thought the right solutions. Hitler was insperated by them and execute their thoughts resolutely. This is the origin of NS (national socialism). Keep it radical to rescue the western world.One of his last words in the 'Führerbunker" were: "Ich war die letzte Hoffnung Europas" (I was the last of hope of europe). Summa summarum: All the Problems of the present had been fore seen by conservative philosophs. Since the 1945 nothing new had been thought.
