Austrian Pan-Germanism sought a revolutionary racial hierarchy beyond state power

Evidence

This Austrian movement aimed at more than rise to power as a party, more than the possession of the state machinery. It wanted a revolutionary reorganization of Central Europe in which the Germans of Austria, together with and strengthened by the Germans of Germany, would become the ruling people, in which all other peoples of the area would be kept in the same kind of semiservitude as the Slavonic nationalities in Austria. … It is no longer, at least in its consequences, a mere nineteenth-century preparatory movement; it belongs, more than any other brand of anti-semitism, to the course of events of our own century. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 165
