Glarus (Switzerland): Subject: The Coudenhove-Kalergi European prize EU leaders continue to receive the Coudenhove-Kalergi European prize, which was inspired by Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi's theories. I have, however, been made aware that one of his publications, 'Practical Idealism', contains racist theories and rhetoric and espouses racial engineering. Richard Nikolaus Eijiro von [or Graf] Coudenhove-Kalergi: Life. b 1894; educated northern Italy and Vienna. 1917: PhD aged about 23 Die Objectivität als Grundprinzip der Moral ('Objectivity as Fundamental Principle of Morals') 1922: Adel [='Nobility'] published. This later became the first 2 parts of 'Practical Idealism'. Kalergi's vision of creating a united Europe is a worthy ideal. Like many ideals however, they involve subjugating many voices, even exterminating them as in every socialist vision that has ever existed. Karergi is a Marxist and his vision for peace, is peace at any price. The loss of freedom to the many is a price he is more than willing to pay. "blue sky, representing untarnished peace" (Coudenhove-Kalergi, Pan-Europa 1922 bis 196658; translation mine). This treatise had prominent supporters throughout interwar Europe, both because of the practical steps toward peace outlined there and the tireless efforts of its author in publicizing the book and the movement. The works which are of concern here, Pan Europa (1923) and Practical Idealism (1925), are very much products of their period. So the reader must, for example, bear in mind that at that time eugenics was very much in fashion, and not just in Germany. The common view of the world was very much in a racial-ethnic context.
