Odd, don't you think, that the revolution that brought us socialism, the radical left, and the anarchists, brought us the same French satire? There was a lot of satire published in France, which people still believe to be fact. The pen name of Leo Taxil comes to mind, as he was another French anarchist.
The intellectuals of mainland Europe, mainly French, Austrian, and German, brought the world both socialism and communism, and the 1917 revolution. However, one also needs to ask themselves why Hinduism appears in both of these works. I would look at Martinism for the answers to how and why.
In fact, early fascism believed in neo-Hinduism (Free State of Fiume, Gabriele d'Annunzio, and Guido Keller), as it was a fad in France and Italy while Mussolini, a socialist, was still running his newspaper (1910 and after). However, Mussolini "rejected egalitarianism, a core doctrine of socialism." Neo-Hinduism and Martinism are also the root of what became the German's Black Sun Society. Here, the Germans mixed ancient paganism with it, and Himmler created a new religion for the SS.
Mussolini, though, was "influenced by Nietzsche's anti-Christian ideas and negation of God's existence. Mussolini felt that socialism had faltered, in view of the failures of Marxist determinism and social democratic reformism, and believed that Nietzsche's ideas would strengthen socialism. While associated with socialism, Mussolini's writings eventually indicated that he had abandoned Marxism and egalitarianism in favor of Nietzsche's übermensch concept and anti-egalitarianism. [sic]"
Though many Je###h scholars were involved, so were many protestants, and it all centers in the European academe, both during, and after, the French Revolution.
