Abstract:

The article establishes heretofore neglected links between the German anti-English pamphlets during World War I, on the one hand, and right-wing antidemocratic theory after the war, on the other, by engaging with their central argumentative forms. Particularly the metaphors of the English as "merchants" or "peddlers" and England as a mechanical civilization in contradistinction to German organic culture facilitated the transfer of arguments between the discourses on war and democracy, respectively. The metaphors were old, but they were deepened by concrete enmity and intensified domestic constitutional arguments by underscoring the fundamental unsuitability of democracy for Germany.

摘要：

这篇文章一方面通过第一次世界大战期间德国的反英小册子与战后的右翼反民主理论之间的联系，建立了迄今为止被忽略的联系，另一方面，它们还通过它们的主要论证形式进行了联系。尤其是，英语比喻为“商人”或“小贩”，而英国则是与德国有机文化形成鲜明对比的机械文明，这分别促进了战争和民主话语之间的论点转移。这些隐喻是古老的，但由于具体的敌意而深化了，并且通过强调民主对于德国的根本不适当性而加剧了国内宪法论点。
