Compare and contrast with Nueva Germania.

Wikipedia:

Nueva Germania was founded in 1886 on the banks of the Aguaray-Guazú River, about 250 kilometres from Asunción by five, later fourteen, largely impoverished families from Saxony. Led by Bernhard Förster and his wife, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, the German colonists emigrated to the Paraguayan rainforest to put to practice utopian ideas about the superiority of the Aryan race. It was the declared dream of Förster to create an area of Germanic development, far from the influence of Jews, whom he reviled. [Cont...]

It's also instructive to compare the tone between the two Wikipedia articles.

Bernhard Förster (who Nietzche vehemently hated) was apparently one of the leaders of the anti-semite movement. That page is filled with so much rubbish, like the descendants are all supposedly inbred and how they died due "overconfidence of the colonist's own supposed aryan supremacy", citations being dumb american newspaper (baltimore sun, altantic). The German language version (as with nearly every article dealing with German history) is much more neutral and doesn't have all this bullshit.

Wikipedia is profoundly biased. The two communities don't sound that different and the fate of both is strikingly similar. The Australian one ended up better off because they had the sense to settle in an area more suitable for farming.

It is so clear the hypocrisy, The Nueva Germania colony, New Australia, and the first Aliyah (european jews moving into the middle east) could be described in nearly the same way yet their all painted with different strokes, their are leftist like David Woodard who paint Nueva Germania in a much more positive lens, making it sound more like the 60s communes since it was relatively egalitarian, vegetarian and was a "dropping out" of society.
