M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

So how nazi is Serpent's Walk? I mean we had "Look who's back" (book and movie) which could be given a similar cover text but was a comedy and criticism on modern media and certainly not a glorification of Hitler.
Are tha Nazis in Serpent's Walk heroic protagonists? Parodies like in Starship Trooper? Bumbling Idiots that succeed because everyone is even dumber?

A publisher description is "Serpent’s Walk is an intellectually-stimulating action novel in which Hitler’s warrior elite — the SS — didn’t give up their struggle for a White world when they lost the Second World War."

I believe it was 1989 to 2002. So it ended 73 years after his birth, but only 10 years before his death. But yeah, he probably changed his mind apparently?


When he wrote the Neo-Nazi book. And when he served on editorial board of a blatantly anti-Semitic publication.

Hang on, the book was written 31 years ago so I could not care less about that.
And saying he put his point forward between two dates....is there something to confirm this?

Please think through the implications of this line of thought.

I have, someone writing some beliefs they held 31 years ago are irrelevant.
Personality can change a lot in ten years, let alone 20.
What beliefs did they hold nearer the time, say 2000 onwards? Do we have something concrete on that?

It was mentioned above. Just a quick google search away. If you care to actually check before dismissing it.

writing an entire book as a prank seems a bit... much? both LotR and Narnia were spawned from a wager between friends a d was Dianetics written as an experiment?

He was on the editorial board of a Holocaust-denial journal until 2002. As has been explained already.

Okay so why drag his name through the mud when he cannot even put his point of view forward.

This is just typical of this Cancel / Woke Culture naughty word.

He did put a view forward, in a book submitted for publication to the world at large. Those who publish material should be well aware that that material might come under scrutiny.

It's an interesting take that people who have passed on should not have their works analyzed. Does that count for posthumous praise as well?

The whole 'this is just wokeness being unfair' diatribe we keep hearing kinda falls flat when we're talking about Nazi sympathizing. Isn't this the one thing we're all in agreement is genuinely terrible? Didn't we fight a war over it? I think pretty much the whole world was involved.

Oops. Please review the rules, and leave the thread.

Maybe he was affected by an orbital mind control laser? Maybe he was under psionic domination by an aboleth? Maybe he was replaced by his evil twin from the Mirror Universe? Who knows? We can't be sure and so we shoudn't pass judgment, right?
