Right- so Wagner wanted a supreme race. The Nazis named it the Arian race. It makes no difference to me. Wagner had no name for this 'one race'. The point is only that Wagner wanted to be a member of the 'One Race'. You could say I coined the term Austrian Race. I'm pretty sure that in the early stages of its growth there was some discrepancy amongst the Germans about whether they wanted to be named after the Aryans so the term German Race and Austrian race were probably used previous to me but I don't know.
This is a very pointless thing to argue about. You should read some of the other posts- there are some very knowledgeable and elegant writers amongst the tubist. Good to know.
