Introduction
This work explains the real meaning of National-Socialism and the importance of National-Socialism for civilization itself.
Civilization and National-Socialism are inseparable. This is the truth of National-Socialism: a truth which contradicts the lies the opponents of National-Socialism have been spreading for nearly seventy years.
Fundamentally, a civilization means a certain way of living - and the essence of this way is nobility of individual character maintained by the pursuit of excellence. The things most people associate with civilization - material comfort and luxuries, Art, literature, music, 'culture' and so on - are the creations which arise from a civilized way of living. They are not the essence - nor even the 'hall-marks' of - civilization.
The present civilization, the 'Western' or Thorian
civilization, is in crisis - it is sick and ailing. The
world-view of Weltanschauung of National-Socialism
explains and analyses this sickness, as it enables us to effect a
cure.
I Nobility
Nobility, in its correct sense, refers to personal character -
it means having a noble character. Someone who is noble is
someone who is honourable - who exhibits those traits of
character associated with being fair, heroic, courageous and
gallant. Real nobility has nothing whatsoever to do with rank,
privilege or family status. Such trappings are either merely
archaic (and in many cases, meaningless and degenerate) survivals
from a more heroic age when genuine nobility was understood and
upheld as an ideal to be strived for, or they are the pretentious
creations of characterless people (such as politicians) who wish
to reward sycophancy.
Fundamentally, individuals are either noble by nature, or they
are not. Nobility is essentially an instinct - an instinct for
fairness (or 'natural justice'), gallantry, heroism and beauty.
It is an instinct that can be nurtured. It also can and does
exist in individuals in various degrees - in some, it is strong,
unassailable, the determining factor in their lives; in others,
it is weaker and can often be undermined or even lost. Honour is
a conscious expression of this instinct for nobility: it is an
attempt to nurture and refine this instinct, to use it in a
practical way to express or build personal character. Honour
itself is concerned with personal conduct - some things are honourable,
some things are dis-honourable. Honour is the setting of
high standards, and a code of honour is a means whereby those
high standards are striven for.
The high standards set by honour derive from idealism: from the pursuit of excellence. An ideal is something which enshrines what is excellent. It is some form which embodies in a practical way, excellence itself; some thing distinguished because it is the best: for example, the most heroic, the most courageous. Generally, idealism means nobility in action - that is, individuals possessed of noble instincts undertaking deeds of exceptional merit: deeds which mark them out, which distinguish them and which make others ( possessed to the same, greater or lesser extent with noble instincts) strive to emulate those deeds, to surpass them.
On the personal level, the pursuit of excellence means two
important things. First, it means a willingness to strive, to
seek to attain something beyond what one is, this 'something'
itself enshrining an ideal. Second, it means a willingness, if
necessary, to die in the pursuit of that 'something' - a
willingness to defy obstacles that lie in the way of attaining
the goal set. In brief, the pursuit of excellence means courage
and heroism. In practice, this is a striving to achieve an
honourable fame - to be the example, to set the standard, for
others to follow and achieve.
Civilization is an attempt to express this pursuit of excellence - to maintain it over many generations by creating customs and forms (such as social structures) which seek to uphold the noble idealism which such a pursuit involves. All civilizations arise when a particular challenge or series of challenges (primarily physical - that is, connected with the geographical survival of a group of people) are overcome by a combination of inventiveness and heroism: by individuals within a group of people being (a) inventive in the face of such challenges, and by (b) heroically defying difficulties (including other groups) - being prepared to place their community before their own self-interest and preservation. It is a fact of evolution that these two qualities - heroism in the service of the community, and inventiveness - are not to be found in all peoples or races, as is so evident from the history of civilizations. They are confined to only a certain number of races: of all the races that exist on this planet, only a few possess the potential to create, and maintain over centuries, a civilization. Of all the civilizations created - from Sumeria to the present one - one race and one race alone has created the majority of them. It is no coincidence that an early name for this exceptionally creative race was Aryan - from Airya/Arya, 'noble'.
A civilization once created survives and flourishes when (a) such inventiveness and such heroism continue - when such heroism and such inventiveness are recognized and become ideals for others to aspire to; when (b) the instinct for both fairness and service to the community or folk assume a social form; and when (c) the community or communities which recognize and aspire to such individual excellence maintain and improve their own exclusiveness; that is, they keep the 'gene pool' which produced individuals gifted with inventiveness and nobility, intact. Often in the past, this exclusiveness was maintained by an instinctive sense of Destiny - a belief in themselves and their values. Outwardly, this sense of Destiny is manifest in a distinctive ethos which gives rise to and colours, the creations of the early civilization -its aesthetics, its art, its literature, music and so on. Similarly, the recognition afforded to individuals heroic and inventive was often only instinctive - a feeling: something not fully and consciously understood.
The decline of a civilization is marked by a loss of
excellence - the instinctive noble values and standards which
created and maintained the civilization become submerged and
eventually lost in the pursuit of material comfort and the
selfish hedonism which the material benefits of the civilization
have made possible. The sense of exclusiveness is lost - peoples
exterior to the civilization (usually at a lower level of
evolutionary development - that is, barbarians lacking noble
instincts and devoid of the talent to produce creative
individuals) are assimilated and/or invade and overwhelm the
peoples of the civilization. The result of such assimilation is
the reduction of the more advanced, civilized, peoples to a lower
level by cross-breeding - and thus the end of the civilization
itself.
Fundamentally, civilization means individuals of character - individuals possessed of noble instincts with the capacity to be heroic and/or inventive. Civilization is an outward sign of a people or race gifted by Nature with nobility. It is an instinctive attempt to make noble idealism real - to give form and substance to idealism. It is an attempt to bring forth individuals of the right character by creating and maintaining customs and social forms which enable this to be done. It is a continuation of the upward progress which Nature seeks to achieve.
Civilization raises us out of barbarism - through its nobility and fairness it enables a fulfilling and rewarding way of life. It enables a higher, more noble, way of living for those who are part of the civilization. It enables noble idealism to be made real - it enables whole communities, whole peoples to benefit in a positive way. In a very important sense, civilization takes us toward a god-like way of life - it is the culmination of evolution itself. But civilization is also a fragile creation, easily destroyed. It is vulnerable, as individuals of noble instincts are vulnerable during times of barbarism because they are vastly outnumbered by those with ignoble instincts.
In the past, the instinct for nobility - the genesis of civilization and civilized conduct - was vulnerable as civilization itself was vulnerable because those factors which created and maintained it were not for the most part consciously understood. The most important factors in the creation and maintenance of civilization are individual character and race. A people or folk presented with a challenge or challenges of the right type will only create a civilization if that people or folk already possess those qualities which make civilization possible - that is, that folk must possess individuals who have the instinct for nobility and individuals who are or can be inventive. This is an inescapable fact of Nature. The reason for this is quite simple - some races are more evolved than others.
The reality of evolution insofar as our own species is concerned is that the present races of this species did not all evolve from one 'common ancestor' in Africa or elsewhere as assumed by the dogmatists of the "all races are equal" theory. Instead, the transition from primitive Homo Erectus to Homo Sapiens occurred not once but many times at different places - that is, diversification was already widespread before the transition. The reality is that the ancestors of the present Aryan race of Homo Sapiens Sapiens made this transition many hundreds of thousands of years before the ancestors of other races, and accordingly acquired over those extra hundreds of thousands of years of evolution those abilities which now mark them out. These abilities - or gifts of Nature - are the instinct for nobility and inventiveness.
Another inescapable fact of evolution is that once the folk which creates and maintains a civilization loses its sense of identity, when its racial cohesiveness breaks down due to the assimilation of less evolved races (and thus less inventive and less noble peoples) then the civilization itself breaks down because nobility and inventiveness are increasingly lost: the more advanced folk, through miscegenation, undo the work of evolution and descend to a level between their former high one and the low one of the less advanced race. In this process of assimilation the noble idealism of the folk who founded and maintained for many centuries the civilization is lost - less noble individuals, their characters unformed by combat, come to the fore and the concept of natural justice, for instance, once an ideal aspired to, is replaced by tyranny, personal whim and rigid inflexible 'Law'.
All the civilizations of the past have declined and ended because the factors causing such decline and death were not understood. The present civilization, founded by Aryans, is already in decline - as is so evident, within the societies of the West, from the loss of civilized conduct, from the decline of individuals of real noble character, and from the increasing miscegenation occurring within Aryan communities. The death of this civilization is inevitable if this decline and this miscegenation continue - it cannot be stopped by any amount of sentimental hope, any amount of dogmatic belief. The policies being pursued by all governments in all the countries of this civilization - policies to enforce racial equality and which thus encourage miscegenation - will hasten the death of this civilization. Such policies are an arrogant attempt to control Nature and are founded on the sentimental belief, or lie, that all races, given equal opportunities, are equal in terms of creative ability and noble instincts. Such policies are undoing what Nature has achieved over the course of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution - they are destroying the most creative, the most noble race on Earth. Instead of evolving further, as Nature intended, the Aryan race is being, by the tyrannical policies of racial integration - enforced in all Western States by the full power of repressive Laws - bred downward through miscegenation.
Thousands of years of civilization have enabled us to understand, for the first time, the genesis of civilization - and what is important in maintaining civilization. That is, we have now reached the stage of evolution when we consciously know what we need to do, on the practical level, in order that civilization might continue and flourish - we can, in effect, with this knowledge, prevent the decline and death of our present civilization as we can consciously create a new civilization. In doing these things, we would be working in harmony with Nature - actively contributing to evolution.
With this wisdom, this understanding, we can create social
forms to build individuals of noble character as we can encourage
those gifted by Nature with inventiveness. We can, in effect,
using this wisdom construct folk-communities which will enable us
to fully fulfil that potential which is latent within us as a
race - which will for the first time in history enable the
majority of members of such communities, and not just a
privileged or gifted few, to actively contribute to evolution and
thus fulfil their own potential enabling the creation of
the greatest, the most noble, civilization ever known.
However, the majority of peoples of the present civilization
are for a variety of reasons either unaware or scornful of, this
wisdom and it no coincidence that those who uphold this wisdom
and who desire to see it implemented in a practical way are
reviled and mis-understood.
The practical way which seeks to implement this wisdom, which
seeks to make real the wisdom of thousands of years of
civilization and which thus upholds the cause of genuine
nobility, is National-Socialism. The mis-understanding of
National-Socialism which is rife among the majority of Aryans is
not surprising, given the nature and intent of the present
materialistic, decadent, decaying System and those behind this
System; for this System - the
egalitarian/liberalistic/pseudo-democratic governments of all
Western countries - is a contradiction par excellence of
everything that is noble and Aryan.
II The Noble Idealism of National-Socialism
National-Socialism is a modern, conscious, and practical expression of the wisdom gained from thousands of years of civilization. It embodies the noble idealism that makes civilization possible and which maintains civilization. A National-Socialist is someone who lives by or strives to live by those concepts which express nobility - that is, honour, loyalty and duty - and who therefore has or strives to have, a noble character.
National-Socialism aims to create folk-communities which embody this noble idealism and which therefore can produce more individuals of noble character. It aims to create the right social, economic, political and spiritual conditions which will enable civilization not only to be maintained but also flourish - to continue to grow upward to ever more heights. It aims, fundamentally, to continue the upward progress of Nature by aiding the creation of better, more noble, more creative, beings.
For this to be accomplished, the old order - dedicated to selfish hedonism, materialism and anti-evolutionary abstract ideas like 'racial equality' - has to be radically changed. That is, the decline, decadence and decay of the present civilization has to be arrested. A totally 'New Order' has to be built, founded on noble idealism. For this to occur, a National-Socialist revolution will have to take place - that is, a significant number of individuals will not only have to be won over to the noble National-Socialist Cause but they will also need to be imbued with a revolutionary fervour which will enable the old, decadent, order to be swept away and a new start made.
Of course, the majority of the Aryan peoples of the present
Thorian civilization have little or no appreciation of what
National-Socialism really means. Their ideas about
National-Socialism derive from almost seventy years of vitriolic,
lying, hateful anti National-Socialist propaganda. In fact, they
have - in School (and other places of supposed 'learning'), by
books, by films, by articles, by television - been brainwashed by
this systematic propaganda.(1)
Seldom - if ever - do any of this majority read about or hear
"the other side of the story" - that is, learn what
National-Socialism actually is from someone who is a
National-Socialist. This is not surprising, since
National-Socialist views are heretical in all presently existing
'Western' countries - Laws have been introduced into many of
these supposedly "free" countries which actually make
National-Socialism and any expression of National-Socialist
views, illegal. This suppression will undoubtedly continue and
increase, with more countries introducing similar Laws - simply
because National-Socialism stands opposed to the decadent,
ignoble, egalitarian, materialist System which those who now
wield power in, or have influence in, these countries wish to
maintain for their own ends.(2)
Fundamentally, National-Socialism represents everything that those of noble instincts yearn for in their hearts. It represents a way of living that is in harmony with Nature - as all modern ways of living in all Western societies are not in harmony with Nature. It represents a way of living where respect and duty are cultivated, where it is accepted that the interests of the folk- community come before self-interest. It represents a way of living where the instinctive values that once reigned so briefly in most Western countries are upheld and made firm principles to guide the young because those principles are understood and appreciated and regarded as necessary for civilized life. It represents a way of living which enables us all, as individuals, to strive to achieve our full potential. It represents a way of living which is cultured and civilized and which thus extends civilization - which takes us as individuals ever higher. It is a way of living which returns us to what is real and natural rather than what is unnatural and abstract - it returns us to that natural justice which is fair. It is a way of living which strives to make real the noble ideals of beauty and harmony - which seeks to implement these ideals in a practical way by for example building beautiful buildings and homes in harmony with their environment. It is a way of living founded upon social justice for all the folk - which creates better social conditions as a necessary condition for a genuine spiritual revival. It is a way of living which returns us to what is life-enhancing and to that unique spirituality which is truly representative of our nature as a noble and creative race - which places our own individual lives in the larger perspective of evolution and which thus enables us to contribute in a positive way to evolution and thus fulfil our real purpose on this Earth. In brief, National-Socialism represents the culmination of the thousands of years of Aryan civilization.
Furthermore, National-Socialism with its noble idealism and its practicality is the one and the only means whereby the decline and ultimate death of the present civilization can be prevented. Only National-Socialism, with its expression of the fundamental truths of Nature as they apply to civilizations and individuals, upholds and champions the value of race and individual noble character - only National-Socialism expresses and affirms the Destiny of the Aryan and wishes the Aryan to survive and flourish as a unique race living in accordance with the natural, noble instincts of that race.
National-Socialism, from its very beginnings in Bavaria, has always striven to express the noble idealism it represents in a practical way - by inspiring others with that idealism so that they might use their talents, skills and courage to aid that National-Socialist revolution which would make that idealism real. The struggle to implement National-Socialist ideals was and is, in essence, a struggle for excellence - and this pursuit of excellence by individuals created within those individuals a National-Socialist character. Such individuals were noble examples for others to follow and aspire to: they represented, in effect, National-Socialism in action. To become real, the idealism which National-Socialism represents has to be fought for.
However noble an ideal might be - however necessary and true - it will be of no benefit whatsoever unless it is striven for and implemented in a practical way. The National-Socialist movement was and is the practical means whereby the ideals of noble individual character and race - the ideal of civilization itself - can be attained and used to create something even better. The genius of Adolf Hitler lay in not only recognizing the fundamental importance of the Aryan race, noble character and the pursuit of excellence in the genesis and maintenance of civilization, but in creating and leading to victory a movement which embodied the idealism essential to civilization and which could thus make that idealism real. He and he alone gave practical form to this idealism, distilling the essential from the non-essential. He and he alone had the ability not only to understand what was necessary for such an idealistic movement to achieve victory given the forces arraigned against it - but he also had the ability to create and implement what was necessary for that victory to be achieved. He and he alone led and inspired the movement he created thus making possible its ultimate victory.
The forces arraigned against National-Socialism - the forces which consciously and unconsciously wished the decadent, materialist, egalitarian System to survive and flourish - saught to destroy what this genius had achieved. A war was agitated for, covertly and overtly, by those who saught the destruction of National-Socialism - and Adolf Hitler, National-Socialism and the achievements of National-Socialist Germany were incessantly denigrated and smeared. All the Media resources of the liberal-democratic and Marxist countries(3) were mobilized in this six year campaign to vilify and discredit National-Socialism - thousands of books were produced; hundreds of films; tens of thousands of articles written and published in newspapers and journals; many thousands of broadcasts transmitted on the wireless; countless speeches made ... The truth, the reality, of National-Socialism and National-Socialist Germany became - for the majority of the peoples of Western countries - lost beneath this torrent of lying, often despicable and dis-honourable, anti-German and anti National-Socialist propaganda.
During the War, this torrent of propaganda became a flood -
reaching new depths of deceit and dis-honour. The most ignoble
and despicable lie was the calumny of 'genocide'. In support of
this lie, atrocity propaganda was produced in vast quantities
after the War. After the War, the Cause of National-Socialism
seemed to be defeated - and discredited. The achievements of
National-Socialist Germany seemed to have been lost - and
discredited. Adolf Hitler and the other leaders of the
National-Socialist State were either dead or in prison on
fraudulent "War Crimes" charges. The noble idealism of
National-Socialism seemed to have vanished - or at least never to
have existed. The champions of the
liberal/egalitarian/democratic/marxist System were triumphant -
and seemed unassailable: the one serious threat to them and their
System had been dealt with.
The effects of the success of these champions of the System were not long in coming. The nations of the West slipped slowly and it seemed almost imperceptively into degeneracy and decadence. What little nobility and real character remained became lost as selfish hedonism became the norm, as consumer-materialism flourished at the expense of duty, dignity and honour. Miscegenation became widespread - incoming racial minorities received encouragement and preferential treatment. The 'have-not' Aryan underclass increased, as did its hopelessness. Urban squalor became pronounced - crimes became more violent, more motiveless, more cowardly and more frequent as a new class of youth learned to survive in urban jungles by ignoring respect, duty, work and honour. Beauty and harmony became increasingly lost as modern 'art' forms and modern 'music' developed - cults of noise, ugliness, banality and personal anarchy arose suitable for modern ways of living. The land itself - its precious soil - became increasingly lost as farming became just another business seeking profits, and an out-of-control, greedy desire despoiled the countryside by covering it in ugly, unharmonious 'development' and roads in the name of a capitalist 'progress'. Natural justice - the fairness of those with noble character - was replaced by an ever-increasing abstract and tyrannical Law which enshrined everything (like 'racial equality' legislation, 'Public Order Acts', and Acts forbidding the carrying of defensive weapons and firearms) contrary to noble instincts and which effectively saught to make individuals submissive to these unnatural Laws, on pain of imprisonment. Science and Technology ceased to be adjuncts to a noble exploration and upward progress (as manifest in the exploration of new frontiers) but became instead the means whereby material wealth could be obtained and increased, and consumer luxuries produced. Racially-motivated attacks by non-Aryans on Aryans became increasingly commonplace and increasingly violent - attacks which the lackeys of the System tried to cover-up or made out to be not racially-motivated but instead were due to the alleged "racism" and "injustices" of "White society". Weakness of individual character - manifest in such behaviour as 'taking-drugs' - was tolerated and then even encouraged by schemes to 'help' addicts, by allowing them to "live off the State" on ' benefit' or 'welfare' , as other manifestations of decadence such as homosexuality and pacifism were tolerated. The ideal for the youth of the societies of the West ceased to be the gallant hero or the courageous explorer, but became instead the vulgar "pop star", the selfish entrepreneur or the materially prosperous career-minded man/woman.....
In brief, noble values, noble standards, the pursuit of
excellence and Aryan racial awareness were abandoned - the
societies of the West continued to decay from within. Those
Aryans who were aware of this decay - who instinctively sensed
something was fundamentally wrong with the societies in which
they lived - had no one or no cause to help them understand.
There seemed to be no movement, no noble Cause, which they could
turn to and which would provide them with an alternative to the
decadent System - all they seemed to have were the increasingly
worthless promises of the democratic parties of the System who
during each new Election Campaign issued finely-phrased
'manifestos' and whose leaders gave fine-sounding speeches
promising a "better world" if they were
elected/re-elected The promises made no difference. The social
decay continued. Violent, cowardly crimes increased. More and
more Laws were introduced to aid the building of a multi-racial,
egalitarian society. The destruction of the land increased. More
and more people became more grasping, more material, more
selfish. More young people became drug-addicts or feckless
'drop-outs'. Moreover, the one Cause which would alter this state
of affairs, which would arrest the decay and which could return
civilized behaviour and values - the one Cause which genuinely
represented the instinctive, noble yearnings of the Aryan
majority for a decent, civilized society - this Cause was still
being vilified, abused and discredited; it was still the subject
of an intense, hateful, lying and vitriolic propaganda campaign.
The followers of this noble Cause - who, despite all the intense
propaganda over decades, refused to believe the lies - these
followers were increasingly being persecuted, imprisoned and
subject to physical terror.
Why was this Cause - even fifty years after its seeming defeat in the ruins of Berlin - still being so vilified so intensely? Why was the atrocity propaganda directed against it - the ignoble lie of genocide, of the 'holocaust' - far from decreasing with the passing of time, actually increasing? Why is it that nearly every week in every Western country there is some reference to this 'holocaust' - on television, on the wireless, in a newspaper or magazine or in a new book? Why were what seemed the few supporters of this Cause being continually denigrated, attacked, imprisoned? Why had this Cause become a real, modern heresy - described in Schools, in books, in the Media and elsewhere in the most negative way possible: its Leader considered the very embodiment of evil/ 'the Devil', its one and only State as an 'evil Empire' and its followers as "emotionally crippled or unintelligent or psychotic or psychologically immature" or, simply, 'extremists'?
The answer, of course, is simple: Because those who had saught its destruction - those who had an interest in maintaining and encouraging the liberal/democratic/marxist/egalitarian System so detrimental to civilization and so beneficial to themselves and their plans - these people feared this Cause, even in its seeming defeat. They knew - even if the brainwashed majority of Aryans did not - that it represented Aryan interests and that its resurgence would be a threat to their plans. These people knew that if ever their propaganda lies were exposed - if ever the calumny of the 'holocaust' was discovered by the majority for the lie it was - then the System those liars had helped create and which they fostered for their own ends, was doomed and they with it. For with such an exposure, the majority of Aryans sooner or later would realize, or be guided towards, the understanding that National-Socialism was the very embodiment of noble idealism: they would assuredly come to know and understand and appreciate National-Socialism for what is was and acknowledge Adolf Hitler as the champion of civilization With such an understanding, a National-Socialist movement would once again achieve victory.
The very nature of the present decadent, anti-Aryan System
which exists in all States where Aryans are in the majority,
demands that it is maintained by lies, by ignoble acts, by covert
terror against its real enemies, the National-Socialists.
The very purpose of this System - with its egalitarianism, its
abstract dogma and its anti-Aryan policies - is to weaken and
undermine Aryan peoples: the System wants and needs
the Aryan majority to be basically passive, to become degenerate,
to mix with other races. Those behind this System have striven
over many decades to debase the majority of Aryans by means of
social engineering - by re-structuring societies on the basis of
abstract, dogmatic ideas(4).
A degenerate, passive, racially unaware population - lost to
noble idealism - is easy to control. The social engineering of
this System has made the very instincts of Aryans - their desire
to live among their own kind, for instance, or their desire for
natural justice - seem "wrong" or
"unenlightened" and/or perverted. The egalitarian,
crypto-marxist doctrines behind social engineering have
effectively been used to control the minds of the majority of the
Aryans of the System. This control is aided and abetted by the
lies against National-Socialism - for National-Socialism is the
one and only means whereby this System can be destroyed and
Aryans returned to what is noble and civilized.
National-Socialism, quite simply, represents the only chance
Aryans have of saving the civilization their ancestors laboured
so hard for and died to create and maintain. Only
National-Socialism can extricate them from the degeneracy and
decay of the present as only National-Socialism can create that
noble, just, idealistic society all decent Aryans yearn for.
Anything else is an ignoble compromise which aids and abets the
destruction of civilization.
III Natural Justice and National-Socialism
Natural justice is an expression used to describe the fairness or 'fair-play' which someone of noble character believes in and upholds.
Natural justice is totally different from the abstract 'Law' which has come to dominate every Western society. Laws are fundamentally an accumulation of tireless attempts to undermine personal character - to undermine those freedoms and undermine or 'outlaw' those instincts which those of noble character believe are essential to a healthy, joyful, natural life.
Natural justice - when enshrined in social forms such as customs or legislation - expresses the will or 'soul' of a particular folk or community. It represents what that folk feel is right and necessary for their own well-being. It is an ordering of the noble feelings of that folk: an expression of the instinct for noble idealism. Laws, on the contrary, express either the desire or intent of one despotic, tyrannical individual who wishes to dominate a particular community or collection of communities - or they express an abstract idea which seeks to control a community, to shape it, to make the individuals within conform to that idea.
This distinction between an abstract idea and an ideal is of fundamental importance. As explained previously, an ideal is something which enshrines what is excellent; it expresses nobility in action; it is an outward representation of noble instincts. Furthermore, a particular individual or individuals usually represent an ideal for a particular folk, community or civilization - someone who has been exceptionally heroic, for instance, or shown exceptional courage in battle or exploration. Thus, the ideal represents the noble pursuit of excellence. It expresses a certain standard - a standard which derives from that individual or individuals. It also represents - that is, expresses by means of some outer form (such as an 'archetype') - the instinct those of nobility possess for what is beautiful and harmonious and thus 'sublime'.
An abstract idea is a conception - something which does not derive from reality; a created model for which no natural 'archetype' exists. Also, abstract ideas express or tend to express a conception of the common, the mundane, the collective - that is, the 'mean'. They are fundamentally the antithesis of ideals. In one sense, ideals may be said to represent or elevate personal character (exemplified by the pursuit of excellence/nobility) whereas abstract ideas represent or elevate an abstraction which personal character and thus individuals are subservient to. Ideals describe an upward development toward an ideal; abstract ideas describe a levelling-down, usually toward a 'mean'. Ideals are evolutionary. Abstract ideas are de-evolutionary. Thus, ideals represent the process of eugenics; abstract ideas the process of dysgenics. That is, ideals are in harmony with Nature - with the natural processes (of selection, for instance) of Nature; abstract ideas are in dis-harmony with Nature. In a very important sense, ideals are character-ful and thus flexible (or 'human'), while abstract ideas are character-less and inflexible, that is, dogmatic.
A good example to illustrate this difference is 'racial equality'. Racial equality is an abstract idea - and one which is unnatural. Nature has produced over aeonic spans of time increasing diversity among races - that is, races have evolved, and those races have evolved of themselves (into sub-races), been changed, become more distinct, more different from other races. This is evolutionary development - toward more diversity, not less; toward difference, not equality. The reality is that separate races exist, having evolved over aeonic spans of time. The reality is that these races are different - these difference are fundamental, not superficial. There are differences of physical appearance - there are also differences of ability, of aptitude, of nature, or character. The abstract idea of racial equality expresses an un-reality - it is a dogma, a belief, which does not correspond with what actually is real. The fact that many people wish this 'idea' of racial equality was real is irrelevant to the unnatural and de-evolutionary nature of the idea in the first place.
A Law is an attempt to make individuals, and groupings of individuals in communities and societies, act or behave in conformity to an abstract idea - it is an attempt to control individuals, and communities, and change them in accord with an abstract idea. It is an attempt to usurp individual instinct (for justice) and personal judgement. Laws by their nature are based on Institutions - on a judicial system which appropriates or tries to appropriate to itself all authority and all judgement on matters of Law and what it regards as 'justice'. That is, the law and 'justice' are taken out of the hands of the individual and the community and vested in the Institutions of this system and in those who serve this system. In effect, Law makes the individual and their community, powerless. Laws are thus instruments of tyranny, be that tyranny overt or covert; physical and practical or 'of the mind'.
Thus, a Law or series of Laws to promote and encourage 'racial
equality' is an attempt to control individuals and bring about a
state of affairs which is un-natural - a mythical 'racial
equality'. It is an attempt by a government through this idea and
the Institutions of 'justice' it has created or which it
maintains, to control the people lauded over by that government
and its Institutions. This control is designed to try and make
the abstract idea behind such a Law or series of Laws, real.
Because of this, such a Law or series of Laws cannot be good
because they are un-natural and de-evolutionary: they express a
disrespect for Nature and are thus an arrogant presumption, an
attempt to control Nature herself.
In contrast, natural justice means individual responsibility. Natural justice is expressed in customs and community, or folk, decrees. Natural justice expresses the collective nature of a particular folk. It represents the will of that folk - the urge or instinct of that folk for justice, for what is noble. By its very nature, natural justice becomes expressed when a folk embodies or aspires to, noble idealism - that is, when that folk is guided by and led by those of noble character.
A natural custom or folk decree represents what is real; it expresses what is evolutionary - what is desirable for the well-being and advancement of that folk. Natural justice means a folk-community united by race. Natural justice itself expresses the harmony of Nature because natural justice can only exist within a folk - within a homogenous grouping which Nature has created and maintained. In simple terms, natural justice is a means whereby a particular creation of Nature - the folk or racial community - is enabled to survive and flourish: to extend itself in accordance with the natural processes of Nature, in accord with the will of Nature herself. For instance, the instinct for nobility itself is a creation of Nature - a means to producing higher, more evolved, more conscious individuals. The instinct for nobility is a means whereby Nature herself has produced civilization - whereby she has aided evolution. Natural justice makes this instinct conscious - it gives it form, substance, enabling further evolution.
Fundamentally, a natural custom or folk-decree represents wisdom - the judgement of experience; it is the product of individual learning, the culmination of a long process of insight over many generations; it is a practical expression of wisdom. A Law represents an idea: it is something artificially created (often from sentiment). A folk-decree allows for individual evaluation and judgement. A Law is inflexible.
Natural justice means civilization. Civilizations survive and
flourish so long as natural justice survives and is aspired to.
Of course, there are times in any civilization when the ideals of
natural justice are lost - when individuals of ignoble character
flourish and impose their values on others. But such periods for
the most part pass - they are a temporary hiatus, a learning
experience, which usually spur the noble individuals to greater
heights of endeavour in order to redress the balance. When such
periods become longer and longer, decline sets in - and when the
ideals of natural justice are no longer adhered to at all, the
civilization declines to its end.
The history of civilizations itself is a learning experience - a making-ever-more-conscious: a learning of wisdom, of what is necessary for civilization itself. Over many millennia we have gradually and often painfully become or been made aware of those things which make civilized conduct and which contribute to or make civilization. Things such as personal honour. Things such as idealism. Things such as natural justice. In brief, wisdom has been acquired.
However, what has happened over the past fifty years or so is that this wisdom - this understanding gained from thousands of years of civilization - has been lost sight of by the majority of people. It has been replaced, for the most part, by dogmatic, abstract ideas and by the sentimentality that often underlies such ideas. Natural justice has been replaced by Law. The errors that led to the decline and fall of civilizations in the past are being repeated.
This present civilization - in its pursuit of Law - has forgotten, for instance, the wisdom that the Greek tragedian Sophocles expounded over two thousand years ago in his 'Antigone'. In that work, he expressed the conflict between natural justice and Law. This particular Greek tragedy (as do the other tragedies of Sophocles and Aeschylus) enshrines wisdom - it embodies certain truths about civilization and personal character which the ancient Greeks were the first to make conscious: that is, to understand. In the 'Antigone' of Sophocles, there is conflict between Antigone - the daughter of Oedipus, former ruler of Thebes - and Creon, the current ruler of Thebes, whose sister Oedipus had married. Creon has forbidden the customary funeral rites for and burial of Antigone's brother, Polynices - who saught to attack Thebes - although he has allowed her other brother, Eteocles, who defended Thebes, to be buried with due honour. Creon issues an edict announcing that the body of Polynices must be left for wild dogs and carrion birds to eat. Creon has also decreed that death is the penalty for anyone disobeying this edict or law.
As Antigone says at the very beginning of the drama:
"Creon has given burial honour
To only one of our brothers, leaving the other dishonoured!
Eteocles, it is reported, has with rightful justice
Been concealed in earth to thus be given tribute
By the dead below. But pitiful is the death of Polynices
For by royal decree no one may cover him,
Lament his death or weep
But must leave him unburied as a welcome feast
For carrion birds to eat as they will ..." (5)
Antigone refuses to obey this edict, even though she knows this dis-obedience will mean her own death. Antigone considers it her noble duty to bury her brother [ qv. v. 38 when she asks her sister, Ismene, to help her give the honour due to her brother by burying him :"Now you shall swiftly show if you are noble or will debase the race that gave you birth!".].
Antigone is caught performing the libations which were customarily given to the dead, and she is taken to Creon, who is amazed that she has defied his edict. In one of the most poignant scenes in Greek tragedy, she explains why - although most translators simply do not understand what Sophocles wrote. Creon asks Antigone if she was aware of his proclamation, to which she replies she was. He then asks her: "So even then you dared to violate these laws?" She replies:
"It was not Zeus who proclaimed them to me,
Nor did Hora - the goddess who dwells with the gods below -
Lay down for us mortals such laws as those.
Neither did I suppose that your edicts
Had so much strength that you, who die,
Could out-run the unwritten and unchanging
Customs of the gods: for the life of these things
Is not only of yesterday or today, but eternal,
No one remembering their birth." (6)
Antigone clearly states that Creon's edict contradicts the unwritten customs derived from the gods. Creon's edict is only a law, made by a mortal. Creon himself is inflexible, as is his edict. In this instance, his law contradicts natural justice - Antigone regards it is a dis-honourable edict. She regards Creon as a 'tyrant' - that is, someone who has over-stepped the mark, someone who tries to appropriate what rightly belongs to the gods. He has committed "hubris" or 'insolence' toward the gods. The consequences are inevitable - there will be a retribution, by the gods, against the offender.
The consequences for Creon - brought about by the gods - are the death of his son and wife. As the Chorus say to him: "Thus, too late, you see the meaning of customs," to which Creon replies: "A dreadful learning!" At the very end of the tragedy, the Chorus explain: "Mortals cannot be delivered from what is ill-fated by destiny... Judgement is the greater part of good fortune just as it is necessary not to be disrespectful to the gods - for the great words of the excessive boaster are repayed by great blows and this, as one grows old, teaches judgement."
But the tragedy lies in the fact that Creon regards what he does as necessary - he sincerely believes he is doing what is right. As always in Greek tragedy, mortals are shown in relation to the gods - that is, the tragedy reflects and gives an insight into, the relationship between mortals and gods.
Expressed in modern terms, the edict of Creon is a Law
deriving from an abstract idea - a belief that Creon has about
what is necessary to maintain his authority. This Law is
un-natural, it overturns an unwritten custom and is thus a
violation of natural justice, of Nature herself. Creon believes
himself on a par with the gods - he believes he can ignore the
customs, given by the gods, and thus the gods themselves. That
is, he believes he can change Nature - that his own idea of what
is necessary is better than what Nature ( the gods) has/have
decreed. Creon is ignoring the wisdom that says that such
insolence, such an ignorance of the workings of Nature, such an
attempt to appropriate what belongs to the gods, will bring
retribution - for him personally, and for generations to come
(see v.577ff. of the 'Antigone').
The wisdom of civilization - expressed so beautifully in Greek tragedy - is that attempts to ignore the processes or workings of Nature (or 'the gods') by, for example, trying to implement abstract ideas via Laws, will assuredly lead to retribution, by Nature. The arrogance, the excessive boasting, of those who believe they can alter or control Nature will be answered with suffering, with tragedy - misfortune will sometimes befall the offenders themselves but also quite often it will fall upon their descendants, for generations to come.
The Laws of all modern Western States - and the Institutions which support those Laws such as Courts and the Police - express what is abstract, what is an affront to Nature. These Laws have, over generations, replaced the customs and the folk-decrees of civilization.
These Laws - as the States themselves - no longer represent the will of the folk who created and maintained the civilization - they no longer reflect the natural, noble instincts of the Aryan majority, the feeling this majority has for natural justice. Instead, the concern of these Laws and these States are for abstract goals, abstract ideas - such as 'racial equality'; such as 'material prosperity/happiness for the greatest number'. They are all, because of this, opposed, directly or indirectly, to the racial health and well-being of the folk-communities which created the civilization - and to civilization itself. The retribution which these Laws and these States will bring is the downfall of civilization itself.
Because of this, the whole System based upon those Laws is corrupt, worthless. The Laws of this System themselves are corrupt and worthless. The whole System itself needs replacing - there needs to be a return to natural justice, to folk-decrees. Fundamentally, the laws of all the States of the civilization need to express the will of the Aryan folk: they need to express what is necessary for that folk to survive and prosper. They need to express the collective nature or soul of the Aryan folk. Anything else is un-natural and de-evolutionary: an affront to Nature. They need to express what is evolutionary, what is positive, what is excellent, from the point of view of the folk on whose survival and prosperity the survival and prosperity of the civilization depends. Any and all Laws which do not do this are at best irrelevant and at worst detrimental to civilization. Like Antigone did in respect of Creon's edict, anyone of any honour, of any nobility, has a duty to ignore such Laws and to fight the system that creates and maintains those Laws.
An example will illustrate how this System and its Laws are not only opposed to the instincts and will of the Aryan peoples who created and maintained the civilization, but also control those peoples through the tyranny inherent in its Laws.
This example concerns Laws in respect of firearms and 'offensive weapons' in the State of Britain. Most people are aware - and many have personal experience of - the fact that so-called "law and order" in this State (as in all other Western ones) no longer exists. Common crime, offences against property, cowardly attacks against individuals, drug-abuse and so on abound and continue to increase. Not only are effective, strong measures to deal with the problem and the culprits non-existent (due to the abstract ideas and the social doctrines deriving from them which underlie all modern Western societies) but also any effective action by individuals in defense of themselves and their properties is outlawed. Thus anyone - man or woman - who carries any weapon for self-defence is usually committing a criminal offence. Should they actually use such a weapon to defend themselves, then the "full force of the Law" descends upon them - and they are usually dealt with more severely than the criminals who attacked them, such are the un-natural Laws foisted upon Aryan communities. They are also told - and it is repeated ad nauseam in Courts, the Media and elsewhere - that no can or should "take the Law into their own hands". As lawlessness increases, the penalties for carrying defensive weapons, and using them, increases - and firearms in particular are more controlled, more difficult to obtain (unless one is criminal, of course). The State, through its lackeys who uphold its stupid Laws, decides who should be licensed to possess a firearm. Should anyone actually carry a firearm and use it in self-defence, then they can expect to spend the rest of their life in Prison.
To any Aryan of any real character, this state of affairs is intolerable. The natural instincts of most Aryans, for instance, faced with a gang of muggers intent on robbery, would be to whip out a hand gun, threaten the cowardly bastards and be prepared to shoot them, if necessary. One is defending one's personal honour, and is not going to let any bunch of cowardly scum to force one to submit to them. If one of the scum got shot in the process - so what? One less scum to worry about. The reality, today, is very different. The Police see themselves as 'guardians' of "law and order" - a position they and the Government strive to maintain at all costs because the Government, through its public servants such as the Police and the Courts of 'justice', wants to maintain its monopoly on Law; it wants to maintain its almost total control over its citizens. That is, it appropriates to itself, and its lackeys such as the Police, all authority and all judgement to do with matters of law and order - its takes the responsibility away from the individual. It decides what is 'right', when 'force' cannot and can be used; it decides what is 'criminal'. It creates the Laws and enforces them. And these Laws are inflexible - they are abstract: they do not reflect the will of the majority of Aryans, and they take little or no account of circumstances, of individual judgement or character. For the System, it is the Law in isolation which is important, not individuals: and certainly not their folk or civilization.
Thus, in the above example - someone using a handgun in
justifiable self-defence - no account is taken by 'the law' or
its servants (Police, in charging the person; the Judge in giving
sentence) of the circumstances or the character of the person
using the weapon or the character of the muggers. The person
using the gun is considered guilty because having the gun in the
first place is a 'crime' - and using it is an even greater crime.
At the trial of such an individual, the Judge would interpret
matters of Law as he would sentence the offender on the basis of
the penalties the Law imposes. He would not really judge the
individual, as he would not judge the character of the muggers -
the proceeding are entirely abstract, impersonal, to do with
technicalities, with rules and interpretations of Law. Little or
no account is taken of motives, of reasons, of the character of
the people involved. The defendant had a handgun and so broke the
Law; he used that gun, and so broke another Law. The Law thus
shows itself not only to be an ass, but also devoid of a soul.
Not only are the Laws of the System itself wrong - against the will of the folk - but also the institutions which administer and enforce those Laws. Those who uphold and perpetuate these Laws - such as a Police - are effectively agents for the anti-Aryan tyranny those Laws actually impose. The whole Judicial system, from the Police to the Courts of 'justice', are based on abstract ideas - all the institutions enforcing and administrating these Laws act against the principles of natural justice. They act against the well-being and advancement of the folk - against the Aryan race itself. Accordingly, they are all aiding and abetting the downfall of civilization - they are contributing to the destruction of the Aryan, through undermining personal character (and thus responsibility), through implementing abstract ideas like racial equality and through destroying the pursuit of excellence.
In a judicial form based on natural justice, for instance, a Judge would actually be able to judge a person's character - they would have the wisdom, the character, the experience, to be able to do this. That would be their primary concern - not soul-less 'judging' of abstract Law. They themselves would be representative of the folk - imbued with noble character. They would have had their character formed and tested by character-building things like combat - they would have shown, by their past actions, that they had the nobility necessary to undertake such a role. The qualification necessary to assume such a role as a Judge would be primarily one of character, unlike the Judges of the present System where academic, abstract knowledge (of things like 'Law'), sycophancy to those in authority and the ability to perform verbal gymnastics are considered suitable qualifications.
Natural justice returns justice and responsibility to the
folk: the justice of a State based on noble idealism is the
servant of that folk, not its master, just as the Police of such
a State exist only to carry out duties which actively aid the
folk, which aid its well-being and its positive advancement. The
aim of a State based on noble idealism, in respect of justice, is
to raise up the folk of that State by means of idealism and so
make or create the character necessary for the majority of that
folk to be or aspire to be noble: to make each and every
individual of that folk aware of their duties and
responsibilities - of what is right and honourable. Were this
aim ever to be achieved in respect of the whole folk, such things
as Police forces would no longer be necessary.
National-Socialism gives practical expression to natural
justice. That is, National-Socialism is the means whereby natural
justice can be returned and made the basis for a modern State - a
means whereby the folk can be aided and advanced. Indeed,
National-Socialism - and only National-Socialism - embodies in a
conscious, practical way, that instinct for fair-play, honour and
concern for the folk which so expresses the noble character of
the Aryan.
IV National-Socialism and the Use of Force
National-Socialism affirms a fundamental truth of civilized behaviour - it affirms that struggle is essential in both making, and showing, individual character. Through struggle, individuals can extend themselves - they can evolve, and their character or nature is revealed for others to see.
National-Socialism asserts that this struggle, to be beneficial for the folk, has to be founded on noble idealism. That is, there has to be a higher, noble, purpose or intent behind this struggle - a goal, an ideal or archetype, the pursuit of which raises up individuals and their community. Mere struggle for the sake of struggle is counter-productive. In essence, National-Socialism affirms that the pursuit of excellence is necessary not only to create healthy, noble, individuals, but also to create a healthy, noble folk or race. This affirmation is partly a re-expression of the wisdom that lay behind the noble societies of ancient Greece and Rome where the individual pursuit of excellence was upheld as an ideal. But this affirmation also expresses something new - it makes conscious a fact of Nature - and in doing so it extends our understanding, deepens our wisdom. This new expression is, of course, the importance of race, folk-communities, and individual character in creating, maintaining and extending civilization.
Thus, what National-Socialism affirms is 'the pursuit of excellence', for individuals and the folk: it does not affirm mere struggle per se.
In a similar way, National-Socialism affirms that the use of force is often justified and indeed necessary if noble goals or aims are to be achieved. As in the affirmation of 'struggle', this affirmation of force is linked to an aim, a noble ideal - it is not the glorification of force, of aggression per se.
This affirmation of force expresses the practical nature of National-Socialism. Noble ideals are fine in themselves - but they have not only to be expressed, to be made conscious by means, for instance, of a National-Socialist movement, they also have to be made real. The obstacles in the way of the implementation of noble idealism are immense - given the inertia of most individuals, and the often ignoble actions and acts of uncivilized peoples. It is a fact of life that only a minority of Aryan individuals in the past have shown themselves to be noble by nature - that is, only a minority have expressed in some practical way (an act of heroism for instance) the noble instincts that lie dormant in the majority of Aryans. This minority, by virtue of their character, have tended to inspire and lead the majority - and in the process civilizations have sometimes been created when other factors were present. That is, this minority have uplifted the majority - guided them toward a noble existence. But this is a constant struggle against the apathy of the majority and their inherent selfishness: it is a struggle against base instincts and one which requires determination, will, and sacrifice on the part of the minority and those they inspire. There is also the struggle of the communities of the civilization against its foes - against the hordes of barbarians external to the civilization who constantly harass and threaten to undermine and destroy the civilization. Civilizations, by their very nature, have been fragile, easily destroyed creations.
Civilizations make this struggle for nobility - for a higher way of living - more conscious. The communities, the customs, the social forms of a civilization aid this struggle because they enshrine the noble values of the minority and actively encourage the cultivation in the majority of noble character. The history of civilizations is a gradual learning - the gradual accumulation of wisdom, the gradual increase in the number of noble, civilized, individuals.
However, in the past, this wisdom - the noble pursuit of
excellence - has always declined and been almost lost after a
while. That is, civilizations have followed a pattern of
creation, growth and then decay and decline. The barbarians
external to the civilization have gradually been assimilated and
bedeck themselves with the trappings of a nearly dead
civilization which they do not understand and cannot continue
because they lack both creativity and nobility of character. The
idealism of the folk which created and which maintained the
civilization for centuries becomes lost; the pursuit of material
luxury has finally taken precedence over the pursuit of
excellence. Shortly after, the civilization dies.
National-Socialism expresses the wisdom of civilization - it explains what is necessary for the creation, the maintenance and the extension upwards of civilization. It provides us with the practical means whereby we can do these things - that is, it enables us to consciously contribute to evolution by aiding civilization, by extending civilization. It gives us the understanding we need and the weapons we require in the struggle for civilization. In brief, it enables us to prevent the decline and death of civilization, as it enables us to consciously create new civilizations for the first time.
Part of this prevention is in understanding the need for force - in realizing that unless we are prepared to struggle to implement our ideals in a practical way, civilization will surely continue its decline and it will assuredly die. National-Socialism affirms that unless the noble ones are prepared to fight for the success of their ideals, and physically defend those ideals, the forces detrimental to civilization will triumph. Sentiment, good intentions and mere idealism are not enough. What is important for civilization - race and individual character - has to be fought for as a majority of Aryans, sufficient for success, have to be inspired. The wisdom, the truths of National-Socialism have to be made known - the Cause itself has to be fought for, and physically defended. These things involve struggle, they involve heroism - they involve the use of force in defending what is noble.
It has to be stressed that the use of force is restricted to defending and pursuing noble ideals and goals. Moreover, the means used by individuals to defend or pursue the noble ideals of National-Socialism must be honourable. That is, individuals or groups cannot use any means or any methods which are inconsistent with the noble spirit, the noble ethos of National-Socialism.
The early history of National-Socialism provides an inspiring example of these truths. In the early years of the Movement, the opponents of National-Socialism saught to destroy it by the use of force. Meetings and rallies were attacked, as were individual National-Socialists. In response, the SA was formed to defend the meetings and rallies. The majority of these 'Stormtroopers' were war-veterans - disciplined soldiers who had seen action in the First World War, many of whom had received decorations for gallantry. As such, they were individuals possessed of character - they were tough, brave, they instinctively had a sense of honour and disliked cowards and cowardly behaviour. Like the Spartans of ancient Greece, they were sometimes 'rough and ready' and distrusted the glib and fancy talk of pseudo-intellectuals. These men, in fact, instinctively embodied what National-Socialism was, and is, fighting for.
From the start, the SA were disciplined and valiant in their physical, unarmed, defence of National-Socialism. In the early days, they were often outnumbered by those who had come, often armed, to break up National-Socialist meetings or events. The SA were expected to exhibit exemplary behaviour in public - and they did, gradually earning the respect and admiration of a majority of the German population. The SA, and they alone - under the guidance and inspiring leadership of Adolf Hitler - enabled National-Socialism to survive those bitter years of struggle.
The SA thus embodied the principles of National-Socialism - they defended, and saught to uphold, a noble ideal, and in their defence of that ideal their actions were valiant and honourable.
For their defence of National-Socialism, for their crucial
part in enabling National-Socialism to survive and gain power,
the SA earned the hatred of the many enemies of
National-Socialism, past and present. There were - and are -
subject to a lying, ignoble propaganda campaign, a campaign which
portrayed them as 'thugs' and criminals and so on. In fact, the
propaganda lies directed against the SA describe the cowardly
actions of their mostly Communist opponents.
National-Socialism affirms the fundamental fact of Nature that a civilization itself - just as much as individuals - must struggle for or strive to pursue excellence. That is, to survive and flourish, it must continue to accept and overcome challenges, and it must expand. Unless it does, it becomes weak, inward-turning - its people losing the sense of Destiny, the excellence, which gave the impetus to the civilization in the first place.
However, in the past, civilizations expanded through Empires - through conquest and subjugation of other peoples. Eventually, in all civilizations, these Empires and the civilization which had created them, declined and fell - vigour, nobility and racial homogeneity declined and were lost. That is, the natural life-span of civilization was limited, usually to one and a half thousand years - basically because all past civilizations were instinctive creations. The causes of their genesis, of their maintenance and fall, were not fully understood.
With the making-conscious, the understanding, of the factors necessary to civilization, it is possible that this decline and fall can be prevented - provided those things essential to the survival and expansion of the civilization are upheld. These things, of course, are enshrined in National-Socialism. They are (1) the recognition of the importance of race: the affirmation of Aryan Destiny; (2) the importance of individual personality or character; and (3) the pursuit of excellence - the value of noble idealism in creating better people, in continuing the work of Nature. Thus, it might seem possible, given the creation of a National-Socialist New Order, that an Empire could be created and maintained - that the life-span of the civilization which that New Order would found could be extended, possibly indefinitely.
This, of course, is not so - on a finite, small, world, the resources are limited; conquest and challenges are limited. This planet no longer seems, due to modern Technology, a large place - the horizons are limited and quickly attained. A world Empire - based on a dominant, racially-aware, noble, folk, is certainly feasible. But what then? What is there once that limited goal had been achieved? There is only the interminable struggle to maintain dominance - the goal becomes simply one of domination, of subjection. The inevitable consequence of such an Empire would be the loss of idealism, the gradual loss of nobility - the gradual breakdown of the Empire itself. This is inevitable simply because the aim of 'global domination' is not an aim worthy of noble idealism - it is, in fact, rather petty.
Further, the domination, the subjection that would be required is ignoble; it is unworthy of a consciously aware noble people. It is a negation of the understanding achieved through thousands of years of civilization; it is a negation of the practical achievements of civilization in terms of Technology. In the past - in previous civilizations - subjugation and domination were indeed necessary: without the work of slaves, for instance, a civilized way of life would have been impossible. Expressed simply and brutally - subjugation and domination are simply not necessary anymore. It is not a question of subjugation and domination of other peoples being somehow 'morally reprehensible' - such moral sensibilities are irrelevant if the survival of a civilization and a civilized people are at stake, as they would have been at stake in the past without subjugation and domination. Rather, it is a fact of such subjugation and domination being no longer required to create, maintain and expand civilization. The reality today - due to advances in Science and Technology - is that such subjugation and dominance would be a hindrance, diverting man-power and rescources from what is essential in creating an entirely new type of civilization based on the understanding and wisdom we have now attained.
We are now in the position to take the next step in our evolutionary development - a step far more important than the creation of the very first civilization, thousands of years ago. The entire history of civilization itself - from the first civilization in Sumeria to our present Thorian one - has led to this moment: has made this moment possible.
We can, for the first time in our existence, actively work in harmony with Nature to produce an entirely new race - virtually a new species of beings. We can actively contribute to evolution. This does not mean the creation of a new race by such things as 'genetic engineering' - it means creating the conditions necessary for a new race to evolve and thrive in accordance with Nature herself. It means 'stepping over the threshold' into an entirely new way of living which by its very nature produces a new type of civilization and new, higher race - which provides the challenges, the struggle, the noble idealism necessary to produce higher types of beings. It means working in harmony with Nature rather than against her (as some 'genetic engineering' works against Nature).
This threshold is this planet itself. We can, by moving out into the new and limitless frontier of Outer Space, create new ways of living. We can, by accepting this immense challenge, breed from that challenge heroic, creative, noble individuals who take evolution ever higher - who fulfil the promise of evolution itself. We can, by overcoming such challenges, create not just one but many new types of civilization. We can, by passing this threshold, work in harmony with Nature and achieve our ultimate Destiny as a race. We can assure our future as a noble creative race by accepting this Destiny.
The ultimate Destiny of the Aryan race lies in the conquest of Outer Space - in the creation of a Galactic Empire. Our whole past has led to this - has made this Destiny attainable. With and through this great challenge we can make full use of our inventiveness, our nobility, our genius. In comparison to this supreme challenge, everything else is mundane, petty and unworthy of us. Only the challenge of colonizing this new and limitless frontier will bring the best out in us. Only this supreme challenge can produce by its very nature the right type of individual - a new breed of higher Aryans. For this challenge expresses the most noble ideal that exists.
V The Galactic Empire
The Galactic Empire is the only noble ideal which today is worthy of us. It is the highest, most noble ideal we can aspire to because it alone possesses the greatness to make us, as individuals and as a race, great. It alone encompasses everything that has made us and can make us noble: it alone possesses the numinosity necessary to inspire us to great achievements at this moment in the history of our race. It alone continues the upward work of Nature.
The ideal of a Galactic Empire expresses everything that National-Socialism is. The striving for and achievement of such an Empire, over decades and centuries, will represent the practical implementation of the principles and ideals of National-Socialism. The very struggle for this noble ideal will create a higher race.
Of course, today this vision of a Galactic Empire - of the colonization of star-systems across the galaxy - seems a dream. But it is attainable. It must be understood that National-Socialism itself represents the noble instincts, the noble yearning that most Aryans have in their hearts - whether or not they are aware of this due to the lies about National-Socialism. That is, National-Socialism is a conscious and practical expression of their desire for a better, a more noble, way of life: it enables that desire to become real. Similarly, the ideal of a Galactic Empire is the ultimate practical expression of National-Socialism.
For this Empire to become real, National-Socialism must triumph. That is, the present decadent, anti-Aryan System must be overthrown by National-Socialists and some form of National-Socialist State or community established. To achieve this, years of hard, bitter struggle are necessary - our folk need to be won over to the noble National-Socialist Cause.
Once such a victory is attained, the new State or community needs to be made secure - to secure its existence against its external and internal enemies. National-Socialism then needs to be implemented within that State or community - that is, social justice needs to be strived for; a new economic system created; natural justice implemented; Aryan spirituality returned; agrarian reforms made. This in itself will take many years. This new State or community will need wise leadership - to preserve it from its external enemies. It will need, in its early years, to avoid conflict with other peoples or States - it must present itself as concerned only with its own, internal affairs, with creating a new, spiritual, way of living for its own folk; with creating an Aryan homeland. But it must always be ready to defend itself, should it be threatened - it must make others aware that any people or State seeking to destroy this new Aryan homeland will pay a severe penalty if they attack. Whatever rescources or raw materials this Aryan homeland might require from other States or countries, it would obtain by trade and negotiation - as it would strive to be as self-sufficient as possible.
After this National-Socialist State or community has secured its existence and begun implementing National-Socialism, it can turn its attention toward the new frontier of Outer Space. The first stage of implementing the ideal of a Galactic Empire would be the building of Space Stations orbiting the Earth. The second would be colonies on the Moon and Mars. Intensive research would be undertaken with the objective of building Space Ships. These beginnings would take many decades during which the Aryan homeland would be concerned only with its own folk and achieving its own internal objectives. The world external to that homeland would be left to its fate. Given time, and by virtue of the fact that such an Aryan homeland would be dedicated to idealism, this homeland would emerge as the one civilized, cultured community in a decaying, increasingly ignoble world. It would - provided it dedicated itself to its ideals and provided it kept itself free of external colonial and military adventures and the squabbles of contending countries - assuredly emerge sooner or later as the most powerful community on the Earth. That is, to achieve prominence, it need only keep itself secure and keep its people noble - Nature will achieve the rest. The leaders of such an Aryan homeland must always remember this.
With this emergence to dominance, the task of building the Galactic Empire will be made easier since the Aryan homeland will have become the focus and probably the homeland for the best of the Aryan peoples of this world. This homeland will also then be in a position to utilize the rescources of the world for the benefit of its folk and to aid its conquest of Outer Space - that is, the other peoples of the world will actively seek to trade with this Aryan homeland in order to acquire things for themselves. Once again, in this trade - and in utilizing the rescources of the world - the leaders of the Aryan homeland need to act wisely, with nobility toward those other peoples. That is, they need the wisdom to take the long-term view - establishing where possible friendly relations with other peoples, for the mutual benefit of both. Any other course of action is self-defeating in the long-term.
With these resources of manpower and materials - and the spur the noble ideal of Space Travel will give to invention and discovery - new advances will undoubtedly be made. Space Ships capable of inter-stellar travel will become feasible, and colonization will begin in earnest. A whole new chapter of mortal history will begin. The Aryan race will seed itself across the galaxy, creating a multitude of civilizations and a multitude of cultures. A new race will emerge, created by this conquest. Then, even were the remaining Aryans on Earth to perish for some reason - even were the Earth to perish for some reason - civilization would continue and flourish. Our civilization - and we ourselves - will have achieved everlasting glory. We will have opened a new phase of evolution wherein the possibilities would be almost limitless.
We must always remember that if we only aspire to small things, we will only achieve small things. To achieve great things, we need to aspire to greatness - the vision of a Galactic Empire is the greatest, most noble, vision we can have. The obstacles in the way of the creation of this noble vision are only there to be overcome. If we do not aspire to this greatness, if we do not struggle to overcome the obstacles in the way of creating first a National-Socialist community and then a Galactic Empire, then we do not deserve to survive as a race. Nature has given us this opportunity - it will never arise again. It is up to us whether we take this opportunity for greatness.

Footnotes
1. Some of the most oft repeated lies of this propaganda - such as the lie of 'genocide' against the Jews - is dealt with in (a) The Truth About National-Socialism and Adolf Hitler ; (b) National-Socialism - Principles and Ideals. Both of these works deal with the reasons why National-Socialism has been virulently smeared by such vile propaganda as the lie of the six million/five million/four million "exterminated" Jews.
2. See, for example, 'The Truth About National-Socialism and Adolf Hitler' in answer to the question therein: "If these things are indeed all myths and lies ..."
3. Overt Marxism is but another strain of that materialist egalitarian virus so detrimental to civilization. Other strains, equally virulent and destructive of civilization, are international financial capitalism, liberalism and the pretence of 'parliamentary democracy'.
4. Social engineering is explained in detail in Chapter II of 'National-Socialism - Principles and Ideals'.
