Kalergi Plan

The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a far-right, antisemitic conspiracy theory. The theory claims that Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, creator of the Paneuropean Union, concocted a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration. The conspiracy theory is most often associated with European groups and parties, but it has also spread to North American politics. Memes promoting the conspiracy theory often incorporate misrepresentations of Kalergi's writings, such as the false claim he stated that Jews shall rule over Europe. The conspiracy theory stems from a section of Kalergi's 1925 book Praktischer Idealismus ("Practical Idealism") in which he predicted the rise of a mixed race of the future with "Eurasian-Negroid" features, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians.
