The Truth About National-Socialism
The truth about National-Socialism is quite simple. National-Socialism is the conscious expression of the desire most Aryans have for goodness - for a better way of life: for those moments when we are happy and aware, if only intuitively, that it is good to be alive. National-Socialism seeks to create the social, economic, political and spiritual conditions which enable us to experience what civilization really means; it enables us to know and understand what is important and vital about life itself. National-Socialism, quite simply, enables us as Aryans to fulfil the purpose of our individual lives: to make real the nobility and goodness which we Aryans hold in our hearts.
The enemies of National-Socialism have tried to hide this truth for over fifty years. The enemies of National-Socialism have used every means and type of propaganda - including the despicable lie of 'the holocaust' - to discredit National-Socialism and National-Socialists. They have connived and lied, and used every dishonourable tactic imaginable to try and brainwash the majority of Aryans against National-Socialism. For their own evil ends they conspired and contrived to destroy National-Socialist Germany by war - and while they succeeded in destroying the first National-Socialist State, they have failed to destroy the noble idealism of National-Socialism itself.
Fundamentally, National-Socialism expresses and represents
what is civilized. It represents the noble, heroic Aryan
attitude which alone creates and which alone maintains
civilization. Of course, the majority of Aryans do not understand
this - thanks to the conniving and the propaganda of the enemies
of National-Socialism.
There is nothing complicated about National-Socialism. Any person
can understand and appreciate what National-Socialism really is -
because National-Socialism gives voice to the yearning which we
Aryans possess for a better, a noble way of life.
This is the simple, beautiful truth about Adolf Hitler which our
vicious, lying enemies have tried so hard to conceal with their
disgusting propaganda. Adolf Hitler gave voice to the noble
hopes, the noble aspirations of his people because he felt those
hopes, those aspirations, deeply in his innermost being and
wanted, out of love of his people, to make those hopes and
aspirations real. The majority of Germans came to know this and
came to respect and love him because of it.
Adolf Hitler and his German followers struggled and fought not simply for German freedom but to keep civilization and civilized values alive in a world increasingly un-civilized and increasingly descending into ignoble barbarism. They struggled and fought because goodness, because nobility, can be easily destroyed by evil and needs defending if it is going to survive.
Today, this struggle goes on - although most Aryans are blissfully unaware of it as they pursue their own, often self-centred, materialistic goals. The reality, however, is that this blissful ignorance will not last for much longer - already the comforting illusion, which the enemies of civilization, and their lackeys, have created to hide the truth, is beginning to fall-apart. The often brutal, un-civilized reality of modern society is beginning to be revealed - escalating, ever more violent and ever more cowardly crime; social decay; drugs; pornography; selfishness; escalating and increasingly vicious racial attacks by non-Whites against Whites which the Media and the Government try to keep secret because such attacks reveal the truth about race and the truth about the multi-racial society all post-War governments have laboured so hard to create...
The truth is that National-Socialists are at
the forefront of this struggle - they are fighting for civilized
values and civilization itself. They are fighting because they
care - because they desire a better, noble, way of life. They are
fighting to create a better future for our race. They are
fighting for Aryan freedom. They have discovered and know the
meaning and value of life - they have seen through the lies which
the real enemies of civilization propagate for their own evil
ends. The question is - have you?
To Discriminate is Natural
It is natural and healthy to discriminate against members of other races. 'To discriminate' literally means "to distinguish between" - that is, to recognize difference. A person has discrimination if they have good judgement. It is only recently that sociological theorists have re-defined the word 'discrimination' - and they have done this, quite consciously, in order to further their goals of 'socially engineering' a particular type of society. The type of society these 'social engineers' wish to create, by infecting others with their abstract, sociological ideas, is a multi-racial one which is Marxist in all but name. In effect, sociological ideas prepare the way for Marxism.
Fundamentally, sociology and similar social 'sciences' like social anthropology, are basically anti-Aryan - dedicated to eradicating natural, healthy Aryan feelings and desires because such feelings and desires are a hindrance to the creation of the type of society the social engineers wish to create. Indeed, one can go so far as to say that such social 'sciences' as these have been created - by a particular people(1) - with the intention of undermining those healthy, natural Aryan feelings which in the past have created and maintained civilization. Such pseudo-sciences as these have been used and are being used to create a conformity of opinion - and to try to make us, as Aryans, feel guilty about our culture, our heritage and our natural feelings. They have been used and are being used by the social engineers and their allies, to bring about the fulfilment of a particular messianic dream which those social engineers believe is the destiny of their people.
These abstract doctrines of the social engineers have been so
successful, and so ruthlessly propagated, that all the
governments and all the major political parties in this, and all
other Aryan countries, are now dedicated to trying to create such
a marxist multi-racial society - and laws have been introduced,
and will continue to be introduced, which not only outlaw any
effective opposition to the policies being pursued by the social
engineers, but which also make any expression of natural, healthy
Aryan instincts a criminal offence. A real marxist Police-State
is being created in this and other Western countries. Of course,
the majority of Aryans are unaware of this - they mistakenly
believe they have freedom as they mistakenly believe they have
political choice.
What it is important to understand, is that the doctrines put forward by the social engineers are contrary to reality. The doctrines are abstract ideas which attempt to undermine and control Nature. What we must remember is that it is natural and healthy for us, as Aryans, to wish to live among our own kind; it is natural and healthy to be aware of racial difference and to wish to place our own people first. Such discrimination is natural and healthy because racial differences themselves are fundamental. In fact, the fundamental difference between Aryans and other races is that the Aryan race has been gifted by Nature with the ability to create and maintain civilization. Our present civilization, for instance, is due to the nobility, the heroism, the sacrifice and the creativity of our Aryan ancestors - they struggled, fought, suffered hardship and often died so that this civilization, and our Aryan culture, could be created and maintained. Racial discrimination is an expression of the instinct the noble have for civilization - it is an expression of the distinction the civilized make between themselves and those who are not, nor can ever be, civilized and cultured.
The reality is that without the ability of the Aryan there would be no civilization - for only the Aryan has the ability to be creative, to be noble, and to be heroic on a large scale over long periods of time. The reality is that the Aryan race is more highly evolved than other races. The reality is that race-mixing - the essence of a multi-racial society - will mean the destruction of the present civilization because the creative, noble Aryan race will gradually be bred out of existence and a basically docile, mongrelized breed produced. This is exactly what the social engineers want - they desire to be the rulers of a new type of messianic world order, and for this they need their subjects to be basically docile and have only lowly, material desires.
Furthermore, not only will our present civilization be destroyed, but also the possibility of creating future civilizations. Race-mixing undermines and will eventually destroy what Nature has spent millions of years perfecting - race, and racial diversity.
Of course, all of the results of the disastrous policy of race-mixing will not be evident in the lifetime of those Aryans living now, many of whom are so lost to their natural instincts and their Aryan heritage that they actively support the race-mixing policies of the social engineers. The disastrous, barbaric legacy which race-mixing will create will fall to future generations. These future generations are the ones who will see and suffer the consequences of the selfish acts, the thoughtless acts, the sentimental acts of the present. They are the ones who will learn, through suffering, what the messianic dream of social engineers really means.
It is easy today, as in the past, for Aryans to be sentimental about other races; it is easy to live for the moment, concerned only with personal pleasures and personal happiness. But it is also rather childish and immature. The sentimentality, the weakness, of the moment inevitably creates suffering and misfortune in the future. For instance, today many Aryans in Britain - partly due to decades of brainwashing by the doctrines of the social engineers - feel kindly disposed toward those other races who have settled and are settling in this country. They accept them as 'British' as they see nothing wrong with inter-racial marriages. Many of these Aryans would consider it wrong for Aryans to be placed first, and these other races discriminated against in housing, employment and so on. However, by feeling this way these Aryans are not only acting under the influence of the doctrines of the social engineers, they are also being immature.
In life, it is sometimes necessary to be realistic and hard - to steel ourselves against certain feelings rather than selfishly indulge ourselves. Such control is the essence of individual character - that is, such control shows we possess character, judgement and are mature. Such control signifies civilized conduct. The sentimentality that exists today regarding accepting other races and other cultures is a sign of immaturity - a sign of selfish indulgence and lack of self-control. It is uncivilized behaviour. For if such sentimentality is not controlled, the consequence will be the downfall of the civilization our ancestors have bequeathed us and which they laboured so hard to create.
Each one of us has a choice. We can act wisely,
in accord with our natural and healthy instincts and thus in
accord with those things which create and maintain civilization;
or we can act childishly and selfishly out of sentiment, and thus
aid those doctrines of the social engineers whose final triumph
would mean an end to noble, individual character and civilization
itself. At this moment in time, we cannot afford the luxury of a
middle way.
In Praise of War
War is necessary - it ensures the health of a people, and it encourages those warrior virtues which are essential to civilization.
When a people, nation or race goes for decades without engaging in a war which involves all or most of the communities of that people, nation or race, then that people, nation or race tends toward decadence - with cowardly scum coming to the surface, the young becoming feckless and undisciplined, and society generally declining. War breeds and reveals character - in combat, there is no where to hide. One either does one's duty, with courage and perhaps heroism - or one does not. War is the test of the man. War is natural selection in action - Fate decrees who survives, who is uninjured and who becomes revered as heroic. War makes individuals respect Fate, and thus gives real wisdom - an awareness of duty and responsibility.
Pacifism, and the pursuit of peace as an objective, are decadent - manifestations of cowards and decadents, and of a people and society ruled by cowards and decadents. Of course war creates and brings suffering, injury and hardship - but the hard reality is that such things are necessary. Without such things there is no real wisdom, no real individual character, no real understanding - no awareness of Fate, of those forces which are beyond the individual and which the individual cannot control. Without such things there is no perspective - and what is really important about life and living gets lost in selfishness and a crass pursuit of materialism. Above all else, war breeds nobility. It makes the values of nobility - honour, loyalty and duty - ideals to be strived for and thus encourages civilized conduct among individuals and a civilized society for individuals to live in. A noble individual is someone prepared to fight, and if necessary die, for their folk, race or nation. A peaceful society - dedicated to peace and the selfishness and materialism which goes with it - encourages and creates a feckless, crime-ridden society full of aggressive individuals who use that aggression to achieve their petty, egotistical aims.
War channels the natural and healthy aggression of youth and early manhood in a useful and productive way. The proponents of pacifism and the 'peaceful society' believe in their vain arrogance that their abstract, unnatural and intellectual ideas can change what they see as "human nature" - they believe that given sufficient "education" (read 'brainwashing') and sufficient social schemes, this aggression and lust for battle can be removed or miraculously transformed into something which they believe is more positive. What these products of late-twentieth century decadence fail in their intellectual arrogance to understand, is that individual nature is only and always changed by real, practical experience of living and never by ideas or any amount of 'teaching' and/or social schemes. What little individual change results from such things as ideas, teaching, 'faith' and social schemes is only and always pretence - affectation; that is, whatever change such things produce in individuals, such changes are not real - they do not go deep, they are not fundamental, positive changes. What all this amounts to is that if one places side-by-side a combat veteran, and one of the intellectual pacifist/ 'social worker' types which modern society breeds in profusion, then it is obvious to anyone of any real intelligence that the combat veteran is the better person, more in touch with the reality of life, more civilized and more able to cope with life and any change live brings. It is only soft, comfortable modern urban/suburban living which allows the social worker type to flourish - and this soft urban/suburban style of living exists in any civilization only for a short period, for it has within it the seeds of its own destruction. These seeds are the soft individuals it breeds. Civilizations are created and maintained by individuals of character - by warriors, by those experienced in war - they are never created and never maintained by ideas, by bureaucratic types, by politicians, by social schemes and 'education'. Anyone who believes that civilization depends on clever, fancy ideas and those who propound such ideas or makes their living from them is, quite simply, being naïve. The penalty for such large scale naïvety as the societies of the West now suffer from, is that slow descent back into barbarism which has already begun.
The reality of pacifism and other such unnatural abstract ideas, is that they undermine and ultimately destroy that personal or individual character which is essential to civilization. The personal character essential to civilization and a civilized way of life is only and always created by combat - by personal experience of war.
A healthy society accepts war and prepares for it. A healthy society encourages warrior virtues and trains its people for combat. A healthy society upholds the war or combat hero as the highest ideal - as someone to be admired and emulated. A healthy society rewards those who have distinguished themselves in battle and accepts such individuals, and only such individuals, as leaders. In a healthy society, young men look forward eagerly to battle.
In contrast, an unhealthy or sick society strives to make "heroes" out of such non-entities as "entertainers", politicians, and successful business people. In brief, a sick society elevates the type of people combat veterans despise - vain, egotistical people concerned for the most part with materialism and/or sickly, pretentious (often sociological) 'ideas'.
In needs to be constantly affirmed that war and civilization are inseparable. To be civilizing, war has to be for some noble purpose - and this purpose can only be to ensure the survival, prosperity and extension of a particular folk, nation or race. War for a decadent purpose - such as to ensure 'peace' - is self-defeating, and produces only degeneracy and decline because such a decadent purpose weakens those fighting and produces an ailing, weak society dedicated to unnatural ideas that make people psychically unwell. Thus, any war which aims to strengthen a particular folk, nation or race is good; any war fought for any other reason - such as an abstract idea like 'peace' - is bad. A good war creates, aids and maintains civilization. A bad war destroys civilization.
A good war is morally right - it is a duty. It is a necessity. A good war ensures the health and vitality of a particular folk, nation or race - and thus makes for a healthy, vital society. What we have today - in terms of civilized life and the comforts which go with it - is the result of war. What we have lost and are losing - honour, community spirit, noble character, vitality, purpose - is the result of peace.
For too long, the pacifists, the cowards, the
decadent and the pursuers of selfish, material goals, have been
unchallenged. We who believe in war - who know its value and its
purpose - have been silent for too long. We need to once again
proudly and defiantly sing the praises of war!
National-Socialism and Religion
Correctly understood, National-Socialism is profoundly spiritual because National-Socialism provides us with an answer to the question - "What is the purpose of life?". The fundamental aim of National-Socialism - the aim which political power is used to achieve - is to create a new way of living. This way of living is noble and civilized - it enables and fosters a new type of individual. Such individuals, by their actions and their living, create a new, higher, civilization.
We are National-Socialists because we all - either rationally or instinctively, or both - accept that life has some purpose beyond selfish indulgence and gaining material comforts. We are all National-Socialists because we accept that our purpose, as individuals, is to contribute to evolution in a positive way - to develope and make use of, the potential given to us and our race by Nature. We are all National-Socialists because we desire to live in or aid the creation of, a noble society which seeks to uplift and ennoble others. We are all National-Socialists because we acknowledge that Adolf Hitler made these hopes, dreams, aspirations and ideals conscious and realizable.
Fundamentally, National-Socialism is much more than a political movement. It aims for a complete practical and spiritual revolution. It is also a living, organic movement - it has a past and it has a future. The past makes the future possible. National-Socialism expresses that spirituality which is uniquely ours as Aryans - that is, it expresses, in a practical way, our racial soul.
What it is important to understand is that National-Socialism expresses that religious attitude which is natural and healthy for us as Aryans. What is natural for us, as Aryans, is to act. To strive. To overcome. To explore. To challenge. To seek to know. Our culture has always saught to express these things - and the religions of our ancestors are no exception. But National-Socialism provides us with a religion appropriate to our times - appropriate to the 21st century and beyond. That is, National-Socialism is a natural, healthy, positive evolution in our spiritual understanding - it takes us beyond the religious manifestations of our past; it takes us beyond distant, almost forgotten myths and legends and stories about gods and goddesses while at the same time giving expression to our unique spirituality. National-Socialism connects us to our unique racial psyche, as the religions of our ancestors connected us to our psyche - and in doing so it, like those religions, gives us strength, sustenance, perspective and meaning.
National-Socialism is the heroic religion of our times - it gives us real heroes to admire; it gives us real legends to tell to our children; it gives us real stories of valour, real deeds of glory and honour to celebrate in poetry, music and song. We have, in the struggle for power, in the glorious deeds done by our kinsfolk in the great war for Aryan survival (50-56yf) and afterwards, all those things that gave rise to the religions of our ancestors. Our unique religious attitude is one of celebration - we as a race have always celebrated great, noble, deeds. We have always toasted, with wine, mead, or ale, great heroes. We have always sworn oaths upon the graves, the banners, the shields, the weapons, the insignia of our past warriors. We have always shouted the names of our heroes defiantly - and asked them to be at our side as we go forth into battle. We have always called upon and hailed the name of our gods - gods who were once mighty warriors, or Chiefs, or the consorts of those warriors.
Not for our race the damp, dark caverns where mumbo-jumbo incantations were said. Not for our race the bended knee, the forehead touching of the ground before some graven image. Not for our race the pale skin of the moralizing, weedy inferior. Not for our race the celebration of the deeds of the meek, the pacifist. That is, until we became infected with the disease of Christianity.
Every past civilization we Aryans have created has been created by a warrior community which celebrated the glorious deeds of its recent ancestors and kinfolk. In time, these ancestors and kinfolk became gods and their deeds mythical and legendary. In time, the pure, undiluted warrior spirit - the heroic celebration of warriors by warriors - became diluted and myths and legends about gods and goddesses became the norm. In time, a mythology and a mythical cosmology arose, woven around these gods and goddesses.
By celebrating and emulating the heroic deeds of our recent kinfolk we ourselves can create a new civilization. The religion of National-Socialism is not a religion of prayer, or supplication, of gods and goddesses - it a warrior religion where we consciously and without affectation or meekness celebrate and emulate the glorious deeds of our recent kinfolk. The religion of National-Socialism does not involve and does not require 'priests' or 'rituals' of any kind - as the religions of our ancestors never did until their essence was lost and the people became corrupted and lost their warrior vitality.
To try and revive old forms, old myths, old ways, old celebrations - even old festivals - is a waste of time .It does nothing except provide a bit of meaningless decadent comfort. And, furthermore, it makes our opponents laugh at such farcical antics - old myths, old legends, old celebrations are no threat to them: "See what we have reduced this once proud warrior race to," they laugh.
We have our festivals, as we have our meaningful oaths. We have our heroes. Our opponents think of these heroes and they tremble in fear. Above all, they fear us becoming like those heroes - they fear the real revival of our warrior spirit. We cannot revive that spirit by apeing dead, lifeless forms. We can only revive it by capturing something living, something vital - something with potential, with real spirit. National-Socialism is alive.National-Socialism expresses our unique, noble, warrior spirit as nothing before has ever done.
The religion of National-Socialism does not mean that we see or believe in Adolf Hitler as some sort of 'god' or deity. It means that we recognize that he expressed the will of our folk, of our race - that he was our Destiny. It means that we accept that he was a hero and that Fate chose him to live and die as he did. It means that we accept that he was special, unique - someone to be revered. It does not mean we accept he was perfect - it means we accept he was human, but that he was greater in his achievements than anyone before or since. Furthermore, it means that we accept that he was fighting on our side, against those forces arraigned against us and which saught to at best enslave us and at worst destroy us.
As our ancestors did in the past with regard to their heroes, each National-Socialist has a particular hero - someone whose deeds capture their imagination and whom they particularly admire. As in the past, the oaths National-Socialists take are meaningful - there is a real continuity, a real bond with the recent past, and in many cases we have actual mementoes from the past, actual items used by our heroes, or connected with the glorious struggles of days gone by. These things are our 'relics' - these things are honoured and revered and on them and by them we take our oaths and pledge our lives. We ourselves are fortunate indeed in that we are living so close to those times, so close to our heroes, some of whom are at the time of writing (105yf) still alive.
There is a real power in this new religion of ours - the potential to defeat our enemies. For instance, when we stand before a photograph of Adolf Hitler we have placed in a room and pledge ourselves to continue his fight; when we gaze at a scene depicting the Waffen-SS in action, wish we were there and make an oath to do something such men would admire; when we call upon the name of some hero or toast their heroic deeds; when we listen to the songs sung by the SA and feel the spirit of Adolf Hitler, of Aryan defiance rising within us, then we are being true to our race and fulfilling our debt to our ancestors. When we do such things, we are filled with glory and we feel proud to be Aryan. No one and nothing can take this feeling away from us. There is an unspoken bond - we experience a sense of belonging. We have tapped into our unique racial psyche - we have become free. We have become Aryan again. We know our Destiny; we know where our duty lies. When we have experienced this feeling, the lies of the System are lies; the power, the influence of the Zionists mean nothing. They cannot do anything. At worst, they can kill us - but then, we join our heroes and our own lives, our own deeds will be celebrated by those who follow us: we will, in effect, become immortal. We will be remembered. Our lives will have had meaning. Compared to this, ordinary life is dull, meaningless - devoid of glory.
This is why only National-Socialism is the answer to the problems we Aryans face today. This is why 'nationalism' is not now and never will be an effective weapon with which to fight our enemies. By being a National-Socialist, by fighting for National-Socialism, we continue the heroic struggle. By being a National-Socialist we too can become heroes and be remembered when the final victory is won. By being a National-Socialist we can express in a practical way the warrior spirit of our race. By being a National-Socialist we become part of the Destiny of our race.
With this religious feeling, we can achieve our
goal of an Aryan homeland and the creation of a new civilization.
This feeling is what should motivate us to act. It does not
matter how we act - only that we do.
Aryan Culture
Aryan culture expresses the soul, or 'ethos', of the Aryan, or White, race. The so-called 'culture' evident today in all Western societies is most certainly not Aryan. The 'culture' that has come to dominate White society over the past few decades is an alien one.
The fundamental distinguishing feature of Aryan culture is its noble war-like, heroic nature. Aryan culture expresses the natural and healthy instincts of Aryans; it expresses a particular 'way of living' and a particular 'outlook on the world'.
This way of living and this outlook is fundamentally that of the noble warrior and the heroic explorer. Aryan culture means a warrior-society - it means a society geared for battle, for exploration; a society where warrior virtues are celebrated and upheld. These virtues are heroism, honour, loyalty and duty. Genuine Aryan music, literature, art and so on, expresses these virtues and thus the spirit of a noble warrior or Imperial society. Any music, literature, art or cultural form which does not express such things, is not Aryan - it is unnatural and unhealthy.
Thus, for example, genuine Aryan music, art and literature is positive and dynamic - it represents a quest for excellence. Its ideals or archetypes are those of the warrior, the hero, the explorer, the overcomer of adversity - that is, the ideal which Aryan culture represents and celebrates is the best individual: the person who is or has been, an example of what is best, what is excellent: the most heroic, the most gallant, the most courageous, the most beautiful.
Aryan culture is never materialistic, as it never deals with such things as what is trivial, ugly, lacking in joy or beauty; it never deals with neurotic persons, 'other-worldly' concerns, selfish grasping petty individuals or weak, cowardly people - and if in some way such things and persons are depicted, it is as they are: degenerate, inferior, and/or products of uncivilized peoples and uncivilized societies
Perhaps most importantly, Aryan culture always inspires -
it motivates us to strive for excellence, to try and emulate the
deeds or actions of others. Aryan culture never depresses - it
never makes us feel life is pointless. Aryan culture at its best
strives to represent what is beautiful, what is noble about life
- it vitalizes us, and is an affirmation of life and
living. Aryan culture is always racial - it always expresses
a certain disdain for other cultures and always strives to show
or represent Aryan culture, and Aryans, as superior. That is, it
expresses the civilizing mission of the Aryan - other cultures
are considered inferior at best, and barbaric otherwise.
The present culture Aryans are forced to live in is decadent and alien - it is an expression of everything Aryans, healthy in mind and in body, loathe and detest. The present culture does not express the unique, civilized, soul of the Aryan. The present culture of all Western societies is anti-Aryan: materialistic, petty, ugly, and alien. Aryans should once again stand up for and be proud of their own culture - we Aryans have the longest cultural tradition of any race in the world and our culture far surpasses that of every other race. We Aryans should openly despise the decadent anti-Aryan culture the present System has created and which it maintains, as we should all learn how to distinguish Aryan culture itself.
Firstly, Aryan culture is always produced by Aryans. Any achievement, music, art, literature, film, story, legend or whatever, produced by or about a member or members of any other race is not and can never be part of Aryan culture. Only Aryans can truthfully express or represent what is Aryan.
Secondly, anything cultural produced by an Aryan should be examined to see if it truely reflects Aryan values. Anything which does not, is not part of Aryan culture - it is an alien intrusion, created by renegade and/or degenerate Aryans who are a disgrace to their own culture and their own race. Such people are race-traitors. (The same applies to those Aryans who champion other cultures and other racial values.)
Aryan values are fundamentally martial values - they reflect the spirit of the Aryan (that is, the noble) warrior, the Aryan hero, the Aryan explorer, the Aryan champion. Aryan values can urge us to noble action; they can inspire joy; they can remind us of heroic defiance and the power of Fate. Aryan values can and do represent beauty; they make us wish to excel. Aryan values make us proud to be Aryan - reminding us of our rich, civilizing heritage.
We Aryans must once again make aesthetic values reflect Aryan culture - what is good, is what is Aryan, what reflects or represents Aryan values, and thus expresses the Aryan soul. What is bad, is what is does not do this. Our judgement must depend on whether what we judge is Aryan and thus expresses our unique soul. What does not express our soul must be rejected. Anything else undermines and destroys our culture and thus our civilization; anything else is decadent, and reflects the bad judgement of unhealthy individuals. Artistic and cultural taste is not a matter of individuals deciding for themselves what they 'feel' or believe is good - it is a matter of what is good for the race itself. What preserves, what strengthens, what elevates the race is good - what does not, is bad. Ultimately, culture is an expression of a race's confidence and will to exist. Unless we champion our own culture and those values which make us and have made us what we are, then our noble race is doomed, and civilization with it because only Aryans are capable of creating a genuine, noble, civilization.
The best model for modern Aryan culture was National-Socialist Germany. In National-Socialist Germany, the decadence and degeneracy of non-Aryan culture was replaced, and a return made to Aryan values. There was a return, for instance, to martial music and martial song - such music and songs capturing the warrior spirit of the Aryan. Even today, this 'popular' music of the Third Reich - captured for example in the SS-Liederbuch, the Liederbuch der NSDAP, the Unser Liederbuch - inspires and uplifts. Indeed, any healthy young Aryan whose mind is unpolluted by that mindless cacophony and that anti-Aryan, race-mixing drivel that is modern "popular" music and which is propagated by the System to undermine Aryan racial well-being, still responds to the martial music of National-Socialist Germany.
In National-Socialist Germany, culture became Aryan again - painting, music, sculpture, literature, film and so on, served the race. The creators of culture once again gave expression to the Aryan spirit - they were not concerned with their own petty egotism, nor with decadently and selfishly indulging or "expressing" themselves, as they were most certainly not concerned with slavishly imitating or trying to ape the 'art' and the values of other cultures and other races. Their concern was for the well-being of their own culture, their own race and their own civilization. Culture became - as it should be - a means of striving for and obtaining, national, social and racial health.
Aryan culture breeds health - it makes us
stronger, more vital. It gives us meaning, and purpose. In brief,
it ennobles. Non-Aryan culture weakens us - it saps our
spirit, our will. It makes Aryan individuals degenerate as it
makes the Aryan race ill. There can be no compromise. What is
un-Aryan has to be rejected, even though some might find it
pleasurable or pleasing. We have to make a conscious
choice, based on the wisdom that our Aryan civilization reveals,
and decide to reject all that is un-Aryan. Such choice is the
essence of civilized conduct and reveals a mature character. In
brief, we must harden ourselves - and learn once again to be
great.
The Meaning of Life
For the past twenty-five years, I have been searching for an answer to the most fundamental question that we can ever ask - "What is the purpose of life?" Or, expressed another way - "Does our life as individuals have meaning - and if so, what is it?"
In search of an answer, I have travelled extensively, experienced many ways of living, and studied a diverse range of subjects, including science, philosophy, history, mysticism, politics and religion. I have practical experience of some of the major religions of the world - having been a Christian monk; lived in a Buddhist monastery; studied Islam in the Middle East and Taoism in the Far East.
After all this searching, I have at last found the answer. I have discovered that the answer is quite simple, and was known - instinctively - long ago. The answer, however, to the most fundamental question, is also a revolutionary one which, in the present society we in the West are forced to live in, is heretical. For the answer is that the purpose of our existence, as individuals, is to aid our folk, our race - that is, to contribute to evolution by working in harmony with Nature by preserving and extending what Nature has laboured over millennia to create: race, racial diversity, and individual character.
This answer forms the core, the essence, of National-Socialism - and this answer is revolutionary because before National-Socialism the answer which was always given to this most fundamental question was either: (a) a material one, implying the purpose was a selfish material happiness and/or personal indulgence; or (b) a religious/moral one, implying the purpose of life was to attain some kind of reward or personal salvation in some kind of 'after-life' or 'heaven'. Both of these answers are selfish ones - geared toward the individual person in isolation, and both ignore the proven reality of Nature.
The correct answer is that we, as individuals, have duties and obligations to our ancestors and to future generations - and indeed to Nature herself - rather than to some unproven, abstract, omnipotent monotheistic 'god', or saviour. These duties and obligations arise because we are not isolated beings. We are part of Nature, of evolution itself - a connection between what is past and what is yet to arise. But most importantly we possess the potential to contribute in a positive way to evolution - that is, to evolve still further, still higher.
By recognizing and accepting our duties and obligations - our responsibilities - we as individuals can fulfil the purpose of our lives. However if we for whatever reason or reasons ignore our responsibilities, we are actually negating the purpose of our lives and thus destroying the possibilities Nature has given us.
National-Socialism affirms that the purpose of our lives, and our unique individuality, is to use that life to continue the work of evolution, of Nature herself. It further affirms that by doing this, we can live fulfilling, harmonious, joyous lives. Fundamentally, our responsibilities are to our race and our folk-community and the culture and heritage such folk-communities produce. Race is an expression of evolution, of how Nature works and has worked - toward diversity and difference. Folk-communities are an expression of how individuals of the same race have contributed to the work of Nature by accepting their responsibilities: by devising customs and ways of living which continue the upward or evolutionary work of Nature. In the past, these customs and ways of living were mostly instinctive - but National-Socialism makes them conscious, and thus more effective. Essentially, National-Socialism is an expression of wisdom - of what we have learnt from thousands of years of thought and experience: that is, from thousands of years of civilization.
National-Socialism affirms that it is our responsibility as individuals to continue the upward progress of Nature by striving for both a personal excellence and excellence for our folk-community or nation, since a genuine nation is an expression of a united race bound together by and sharing a common heritage and a common racial culture. Essentially, racial or ethnic nations - that is, nations composed of people of the same race - are evolutionary developments which express a natural, higher, way of living. If individuals do not accept their responsibilities toward their race and their folk-community, then they are being selfish and decadent - they are negating hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. Decadence is a decline in or loss of excellence - and excellence itself is what is worthy: the setting of a high standard. Excellence implies a striving upward toward an ideal; decadence implies a levelling-down toward an abstract idea: toward the common, the mean. Excellence is evolutionary; and decadence, de-evolutionary.
National-Socialism makes conscious the wisdom of thousands of
years of civilized living when it affirms that attempts to create
societies based on other answers are doomed because they are
unnatural, de-evolutionary and thus decadent. Attempts to create
societies based on other answers will assuredly lead to disaster,
a retribution by Nature herself - inflicting suffering, hardship
and chaos upon individuals.
However, the duties and responsibilities which are imposed on us by the correct answer to the meaning of life are not easy ones to bear. It takes courage and maturity to accept them. In the still relatively prosperous, materialistic societies of the West, the easy and comfortable option is to first and foremost satisfy our own individual desires, and try to find a comforting personal happiness. Yet if we take the easy option and ignore our responsibilities to our race and our nation, we are, in fact, wasting our lives - negating the whole purpose of our existence. The simple fact is that personal pleasures, personal happiness, and material possessions are not the essence of life. The essence of life is in what we do or accomplish with our own lives - in whether or not we continue with the upward progress of Nature. We continue with this work when and only when we accept our responsibilities toward our race and our folk-community.
What, then, are our practical responsibilities? Our foremost duty is to preserve our race. We have an obligation to care for and extend our unique racial culture, our common racial heritage. We have an obligation to extend our race by producing and/or helping to nurture healthy and racially pure children. We have an obligation to preserve and extend our unique folk or national heritage. We have a duty to work for or toward the creation of a society which enables others of our race to fulfil their responsibilities: that is, we have a duty to fight for the creation of a racial nationalist State.
By accepting these duties and obligations, we are not only giving meaning to our lives as individuals, but we are also expressing and developing those qualities and abilities which, on this Earth, make us unique - the capacity to think, to create, to consciously evolve, to create civilization. By not accepting these racial duties and obligations - for whatever reason or reasons - we are merely existing, gratifying our desires like other mammals, and actively contributing to the destruction of those qualities and abilities which make us unique.
Expressed simply, by accepting these racial
duties and obligations, we are actively aiding civilization and
acting in a civilized way. By not accepting them, we are
encouraging a return to barbarism.
Why National-Socialism?
The most important question that we, as Aryan individuals, can ask is: 'What is the purpose of life?'. National-Socialism provides an answer - and this answer contradicts the one which underlies the present decaying, decadent and materialistic System which exists in this and other Western nations.
National-Socialism affirms that we, as individuals, are not isolated beings, concerned only with our own happiness and 'rights'. It affirms that we have duties and obligations - that the fundamental purpose of our existence goes beyond merely striving to obtain material prosperity and personal happiness.
According to National-Socialism, the purpose of our life as individuals is a noble one - to strive to contribute in a positive way to evolution and civilization. Further, National-Socialism affirms that this striving not only enhances our life, but enables us to live a healthy, more noble and thus fulfilling existence. What this means in practice, is striving to aid those things which contribute to evolution and civilization - it is a striving to continue the work of Nature. Nature has produced, over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, the Aryan race. Nature has evolved, from this race, folk-communities bound by a distinctive culture. From these, civilization has arisen. The purpose of life therefore lies in helping to preserve - and then extend upward - our race, folk-communities and our civilization itself.
Thus, National-Socialism affirms and upholds idealism.
It seeks to create a better, more noble, more socially just
society for Aryans by striving to make this idealism real. It
seeks to create better, more noble individuals who place
the interests of their folk-community and their race before their
own self-interest. But National-Socialism is also profoundly practical
- affirming that before such a noble, idealistic, socially just
society can be created, the old order - dedicated to the pursuit
of materialism and selfish pleasures - has to be overthrown. In
this, National-Socialism is profoundly revolutionary.
In reality, National-Socialism is the only hope Aryans have of escaping from the rotten System which exists today. This rotten System - dedicated to materialism, multi-culturism and a liberal degeneracy - encourages selfishness as it does nothing effective about the social problems which affect us: crime, drugs, a decaying health-service, increasing poverty, unemployment. In fact, this System has created a two-tier society where the "have-nots" increase in number every year. Furthermore, all the major political parties support this System - they are all in favour of the multi-culturism which underlies this present System. That is, the concern of all these parties is with some abstraction, with some unnatural dogma - not with the reality of life.
The reality lies in race. The reality is that this British
society is part of a civilization which the Aryan race has
created. The reality is that without this race, there would be no
civilization. The realities of present-day society - the
lawlessness, the social decay, the selfishness - have arisen
because for the past fifty years or so, all Governments and all
political parties have tried to impose their abstract
multi-cultural, materialistic, dogma upon the British people. In
the process, they have all but ruined this country - and its
people.
The concern of this System - and all political parties - is not for the Aryan people which have made this and other Aryan nations great; it is not for the real culture and way of life of the Aryan communities. Rather, the concern is and has been for abstract ideas, abstract dogma and selfish materialism. The Tory concern has been, and is, capitalism - profits and 'market forces' before people. The concern of Labour has been, and is, a liberal internationalist socialism, irrespective of race or culture. The concern of liberals has been, and is, for a mixture of Labour and Tory policies - a kind of liberal capitalism with bits of international socialism thrown in. All of these parties have been, and are, concerned with creating some sort of multi-cultural society - which basically means aiding other races and cultures at the expense of Aryans.
Because of this, these parties cannot deal with the fundamental problems which concern us today - for they are part of the problem. They tinker with - or seek to tinker with - bits of this System: altering a small bit here, a small bit there. But they are all committed to those materialistic, multi-cultural abstractions which underlie this System. They do not seek fundamental, radical, revolutionary change. They do not want to place the interests of the Aryan first as they do not wish to champion the culture and the folk-communities of the Aryan over and above other races, other cultures. These political parties have all answered the fundamental question about the meaning of life in the same way - and their answer is the present System with its striving for materialism, multi-culturism, 'market forces' and liberalism.
The concern of these parties is not with nobility, with racial
idealism, with civilization itself; rather, it is with the
furtherance of their own petty standards and meaningless
abstractions. The Aryan politicians of these parties are more
concerned with furthering their own careers - with obtaining
wealth and privilege - than they are with the future of their
race or the civilization it has created. Quite often, these
politicians put other races, other cultures, before their own.
The present System - because it is based on unnatural abstractions- will continue to decay from within. The social problems which afflict us will continue to increase. Social, economic, racial tensions will grow. The political parties of the System have no real answers - they cannot solve the underlying causes.
National-Socialism can solve the problems which affect us and which make life miserable for an increasing number of people. And it can do this because it is based on the realities of life - because it expresses what is necessary for a healthy, more noble existence. It can solve these problems because it is an expression of the noble desire of our peoples for a better, more wholesome, more fulfilling way of life.
Of course, this is not how the majority of people view National-Socialism. The System has conducted a vile, dis-honourable, vitriolic propaganda campaign against National-Socialism and National-Socialists for nearly seventy years - simply because it fears National-Socialism; it does not want the majority of Aryans to discover the truth. For were they to discover the truth - the noble idealism of National-Socialism - they would realize there was an alternative to the decadent, socially-divisive, socially-decaying societies the lackeys of the System have created and which they maintain.
In reality, the answer to the question
"Why National-Socialism?" is a simple one:
National-Socialism is the only way we as individuals can create a
better, more noble society for ourselves and our children. It is
the only real alternative to the present rotten System.
Folk-Democracy
Folk-democracy is real democracy. The parliamentary game which exists in most Western countries - where large, established State or national political parties are seen to vie for power and where a government is elected by national majority vote - is not real democracy.
Real democracy does not mean a particular type of government elected by a majority vote. Rather, real or genuine democracy means a consensus achieved within a particular community. One of the features of real democracy is smallness - democracy means personal knowledge of others. A real democratic decision is one which truly embodies the will, the feelings, or the spirit of a particular community. Thus, a system is only genuinely democratic when it is local - when it deals with local concerns and local issues and where the representatives are not only part of the community but carry out the will, the feelings of the community. Furthermore, real democracy gives the people of a community power over their own affairs and their own area or region - that is, it enables them to make and enforce laws. In genuine democracy, a Representative of the people knows most of the people he or she represents personally; that is, they are really part of the community. Furthermore, for real democracy to exist, the community must be homogenous - that is, it must have a common heritage and common kin-ship.
This homogeneity means that the community will basically possess the same instincts, the same general outlook, the same culture. In brief, the community will be of the same race, and possess a common history. Such a community is living - it is organic and natural. Real Democracy is an expression of the desire of a living, organic community to determine its own destiny. Real Democracy is an evolution, a move toward a higher way of living and as such expresses the spirit of such communities - it enables communities to develope as it enables the individuals within such communities to be free. Real freedom means individuals of such communities co-operating to advance their communities - for thereby individuals fulfil the purpose of their existence. For the existence of individuals is tied to the community, to the folk, which gives them life - it is modern fallacy to assume that each individual is an isolated being, concerned with their own, selfish 'rights' and their own, selfish happiness/pleasure. An individual has duties and obligations because they are a link between their ancestors and their descendants - they contain the potential to advance themselves and their community, to fulfil the destiny of their folk.
Democracy enables the potential of individuals, and their communities, to be fulfilled - it enables individuals and communities to move toward that higher state of living which is freedom. Freedom basically is all about fulfilling potential and being human. We, as individuals, are only fully human when we realize and understand and accept how we, as individuals, relate to what is past and what can arise in the future. That is, when we are aware of our own place in 'the scheme of things'. Or, expressed another way, when we understand ourselves in relation to what is beyond us, as individuals - our community, our folk, our heritage, and Nature herself. This knowledge gives perspective and meaning to our lives - and it is this knowledge, expressing as it does the fact that we are conscious, thinking beings, that is the essence of real humanity. In reality, a folk-community (i.e. a community sharing the same heritage and descent, or blood) is a higher way of living - a practical expression of evolution. A folk-community makes this knowledge and this perspective real - it not only gives meaning to our lives as individuals, it is the meaning of our lives as individuals. A folk-community therefore represents real freedom - as the origin of the word 'freedom' itself indicates. Our word 'free' originally meant 'to love' one's kin; freedom was and is being part of a folk-community. By being part of such a community, and aiding it, we fulfil the potential latent in us and our folk. To aid it means to preserve and extend its heritage, its culture, its uniqueness. In the most obvious and simple sense this means continuing ourselves through children - they are our seed, and the seeds which plants or creates future generations, just as we ourselves are the plants, or beings, grown from the seed of our own ancestors. We have not been born by chance or in isolation - we are part of the destiny, the evolution of our folk. We have a heritage, and we have a future - we are the connection between the past of our folk and its future: its destiny, its well-being, is in our hands. Our duty is to fulfil that destiny by continuing to preserve and extend our folk. To do otherwise is to negate our own potential as individuals.
Democracy extends, or can extend, the folk-community - it is a
means of ensuring the continued evolution of the community. It is
a means whereby members of the folk can participate in and
consciously create their own destiny. In effect, democracy is a
development of the folk-community - a commitment to the
folk itself. Real democracy enables a folk-community to fulfil
its potential because such democracy makes the spirit or will of
that community real in practical ways.
In complete contrast, the so-called 'democracy' of modern parliamentary States is a sham. It is a negation of real freedom. It is an expression of tyranny. It is a tyranny because it is impersonal and because it deals in abstractions. It deals in life-less, abstract ideas. These ideas are imposed, from above, upon local communities and by the nature of those ideas they undermine and destroy real communities and real heritage - that is, the abstract, lifeless ideas destroy folk-communities. They destroy folk-communities because the ideas themselves have been created to do exactly that: to undermine and destroy racial identity and the natural spirit and instincts of those who share the same heritage and culture. The concern of the governments of all modern so-called 'democratic' States is with creating a multi-racial society, with undermining racial and thus cultural identity. The concern is with ever-increasing uniformity, standardization and with ever-increasing, more remote forms of 'political power'. Thus the agitation for supra-national States such as the 'European Community'. The concern is with increasing centralization of power - with making local communities powerless and with destroying the racial homogeneity of communities through policies of racial integration. The abstract, anti folk-community ideas which form the basis of all modern States are egalitarian, multi-racial and materialistic.
The elected Representatives of such an impersonal system are not part of the communities they represent. They cannot be genuine representatives because each so-called Representative represents far too large an area - they have little or no direct knowledge of or contact with the individuals they are supposed to represent as they generally no longer live and work among those individuals. Instead, they spend most of their time engaged in 'politics' and living in some capital city. Furthermore, such Representatives do not represent folk-communities - instead, they represent their political Party and adhere to the abstract policies of that Party. The concern of all such Representatives is with 'Party politics' and Party dogma - it is not with furthering the interests and well-being of their own people. They have become estranged from their folk because by being part of such a political system they represent the abstract ideas of the system itself. The primary interest and concern of a folk-community is with preserving its identity and extending itself - with maintaining and extending its culture, its heritage; with maintaining its racial identity. The primary concern of all politicians of all major political Parties is with those abstract ideas such as racial equality which undermine and will eventually destroy folk-communities.
What has happened over the past hundred years or so in all Western countries is that not only has government become more and more remote from the communities it is supposed to serve - appropriating to itself more and more power - but also all political Parties have concerned themselves with implementing or trying to implement abstract ideas and political dogma. By their very nature, these abstract ideas and political dogmas have brought about a system which is destroying the very communities themselves. In effect, a revolution has occurred - slowly and silently over many decades. Real democracy has been replaced by the parliamentary game. Real freedom has been replaced by tyranny.
Real democracy is not about voting in some election once every so often. It is about being part of a community and being able to aid that community to express its destiny - to preserve and extend it. Real freedom is not about selfish, individual, egotistical, hedonistic choice - it is about being aware of one's folk, one's immediate kin, being able to provide them with opportunities and being able to fully participate in one's own community. Real democracy and real freedom are inseparable - for democracy is the means whereby freedom is made real.
Real democracy and real freedom mean folk-communities - local communities bound together by common aspirations and bonds of blood or kinship. Freedom and democracy, and thus folk-communities, are expressions of a higher, more civilized way of living. They represent organic, natural growth - an evolution. The abstract, life-less governmental system which exists today represents a return to a lower way of living; it is de-evolutionary and destructive. It is inhuman because it destroys the basis of real humanity. Real humanity implies a knowledge of our place in the scheme of things - an acceptance of our duties and obligations. This knowledge is about our relation to our past and our future. We are related to our past by our heritage, by our ancestors; and we are related to the future by our children or our deeds, or both. Our past and our future imply our folk-community in the present - the past has made this folk-community possible, and the future means the preservation and extension of this folk-community. Anything which tends to undermine or destroy the folk-community, undermines or destroys the higher way of living which such a community represents.
Real humanity is not about abstract ideas or behaving in some 'moral' way; rather, real humanity means an understanding of how we are balanced between our past, our future and that thing which has made that past possible and which can make the future real. This 'thing' is Nature - or rather, it is what our ancestors called 'the gods'. Being human means understanding and accepting the balance, or harmony, which exists in living. By living in such a way that this balance is maintained, we fulfil the purpose of our existence as individuals. By living in such a way that this balance is upset or destroyed, we are denying the purpose of our existence and thus our humanity.
A folk-community expresses this balance. This balance has to be maintained consciously - that is, it does not occur by itself; it requires effort, knowledge and understanding. Real Democracy - that is, folk-democracy - is a means to do this. There is lack of balance, and thus a disruption of the sense of belonging and purpose, when a community begins to lose its racial and cultural identity - that is, when there is a striving for a multi-racial community or 'society'. The individual then instinctively feels increasingly lost. That vitality and joy which is a natural part of a thriving folk-community is gradually lost. There is a loss of community spirit and purpose, and thus an increase in selfish acts which disrupt the community. Individuals become less concerned for their community, and more concerned with themselves in isolation. That is, they forget their duties and obligations to their folk. In short, the true meaning of life gets lost - replaced by either selfish aspirations, or material concerns.
Folk-democracy is the way forward - and the only way to return to a really civilized way of living. There has to be a return made to genuine communities - that is, living communities, bound together by a shared culture, a shared outlook. In other words, racial or folk communities. The 'communities' which exist today and which all modern Western States wish to encourage, and the type of communities they try and create, are all abstract, lifeless - created and maintained by multi-racial dogma, by social planning, by a 'politically correct' ideology.
For folk-communities to be established, for
folk-democracy to live within such communities, the present
corrupt, tyrannical System has to be changed. There has to be a
return to the real democracy of the folk. In brief, there has to
be a revolution. If there is not, the tyranny of the present
System can only increase. The way to create this revolution, and
return real freedom and real democracy, is National-Socialism.
Anything else is a compromise which undermines our freedom.
National-Socialism or Nationalism?
The fundamental reason for choosing National-Socialism rather than nationalism as a means of fighting the present political System, is that National-Socialism is a 'world-view' or Weltanschauung: its aims go far beyond the political. National-Socialism is, in fact, a revolutionary movement which seeks the complete overthrow of the present order and its replacement with a new order: its aims for a complete re-birth, a renaissance. National-Socialism seeks to create an entirely new type of society, based on noble idealism - and, ultimately, seeks to create new ways of living.
Nationalism is merely a political solution to a political problem - it aims to cure some of the ills of the present System, rather than replace the whole rotten System. Furthermore, mere nationalism ignores many of the fundamental causes of the present state of affairs which exist in all countries where Aryans are in the majority; for instance, 'ordinary' nationalism ignores the importance of race; the real cause of World War Two; the lie of the 'holocaust' and its use by a certain minority to stifle pro-Aryan views and thus aid the creation of repressive multi-cultural States. Those nationalists who do understand such things, are, whether they know it or not, effectively propounding National-Socialist views. Those who do understand generally say or believe either (a) National-Socialism was a specific form of German nationalism, not applicable to our times, or (b) ' I am really a National-Socialist at heart but see nationalism as the only means of winning over a majority in my country and so achieving power'. Both views are mistaken.
What it is important about National-Socialism, is that it expresses all that is required both to understand our present predicament and to effectively change the present dire state of affairs. Adolf Hitler was the first person to express in a practical way, through the medium of a popular movement, the importance of race and individual character in the creation and maintenance of civilization; he was also the first person to present an effective, practical solution to the problems affecting our civilization. In effect, Adolf Hitler by creating the National-Socialist movement and by leading his followers to victory, gave our race a conscious Destiny: we know what we are fighting for, and whom and what we are fighting. The genius of Adolf Hitler lay in giving reality to the noble idealism necessary for a re-birth; in distilling the essence: he shaped and moulded vague ideals and vague racial notions into a vigorous fighting movement and he led that movement to victory. In this sense, he created National-Socialism and he gave us, as Aryans, a legacy - he showed what was possible.
The fundamental mistake made by many nationalists is in believing that National-Socialism was some ephemeral, German phenomena and that it died in the ruins of Berlin in 1945. The reality is that our present problems - racial, social, spiritual and economic - stem from the so-called 'Allied' victory in the Second World War. With this victory, the materialistic, multi-cultural order triumphed. Expressed simply, the forces of darkness won the battle - and we are living in societies that are the consequence: societies rife with crime, drugs, pornography, pacifism, dishonour and which champion everything ugly, banal and anti-Aryan. National-Socialist Germany restored the Aryan way of thinking and doing things to a modern State - it began among its peoples a process of spiritual re-birth in accord with the natural values of our race. This Aryan way of living was, in essence, a threat to the old order founded on materialism - and so those who had a vested interest in this old order saught to destroy this threat. Hence the war.
But although they won the first battle - the war they began to
defend the old order, with its anti-Aryan values and anti-Aryan
ways of living, is still going on, and has been going on since
1945. In effect, the real fight started in 1919 with the
emergence of the National-Socialist movement - and this fight is
still going on. It goes on because the lackeys of the old order,
and those who have a vested interest in keeping this old order
alive, know that National-Socialism, with its revolutionary,
fundamentally spiritual beliefs, is the one and only serious
threat to the old order. Only National-Socialism can destroy this
old order and replace it with a new order based on Aryan values
because (a) National-Socialism alone fully diagnoses the problem
and (b) National-Socialism alone proposes an effective cure. The
diagnoses offered by nationalism is only a partial diagnoses - it
does not get to the heart of the problem. The cure offered by
nationalism is only half a cure: an ineffective one. Were a
nationalist movement to triumph, what it achieved would only be
temporary - as the triumph of Franco in Spain, and his decades of
rule, did not fundamentally change Spain: today, it is just
another multi-racial, 'democratic' State dedicated to
material-consumerism.
What Adolf Hitler began in Munich in 1919 is not yet finished. What he started to do in National-Socialist Germany was never completed. His task - as he himself knew - was a simple one: to do what was urgently needed, to show the way. By creating the National-Socialist movement, by creating National-Socialist Germany, and by struggling against the forces of darkness during the Second World War, he and his followers gave us the means and the inspiration necessary to achieve a final victory - to defeat the old order and build a new, Aryan order and thus a new civilization.
This struggle is fundamentally not to obtain some short-lived and ephemeral nationalist power - it is to win over the hearts and minds of our Aryan kin-folk to the new way of living that National-Socialism represents. To return them to Aryan values and Aryan ways of thinking - to create an entirely new civilization. The aim is not to create some temporary 'nationalist' State - but to effect a total revolution. What is needed is not to implement 'nationalist' half-measures, but to implement National-Socialism, openly and avowedly.
Of course, this struggle will be long and bitter - violent and deadly. The old order will use all legal means - and many illegal means - to save itself. But this order cannot be defeated by the politics of compromise - it can only be defeated by a movement, composed of dedicated people who are motivated by idealistic leaders, which seeks genuine revolutionary change. It can only be defeated by those who understand what the old order really represents and who offer a viable, practical, noble alternative.
In reality, nationalism is not now and never
will be, a genuine solution to the problems facing our race and
civilization. The only really effective solution is
National-Socialism - for only National-Socialism enables us to
fulfil our potential as individuals and as a race: to create a
totally new order. Only National-Socialism expresses the Destiny
of the Aryan - the civilizing mission which our noble ancestors
have bequeathed us.
Greek Tragedy
[Note: The following two essays previously appeared as the
'Introduction' to translations of Sophocles' Antigone and Oedipus
Tyrannus.]
(1) Concerning the 'Antigone':
The 'Antigone' of Sophocles [written c. 441 BC - that is, 2330 byf on the new calender] - which follows his 'Oedipus the King' and 'Oedipus at Colonus' - seems, at first glance, to be concerned with the conflict between Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, and Creon, the new ruler of the community at Thebes, who was the brother of Jocasta, the mother and wife of Oedipus.
Polynices and Eteocles, the two sons of Oedipus (and thus the brothers of Antigone, and her sister, Ismene), had quarrelled - Polynices leaving Thebes and returning with an attacking force which he hoped would take the fortified citadel, defended by Eteocles. In the ensuing battle, Polynices and Eteocles fought and killed each other, with the attackers routed and forced to flee.
One of Creon's first edicts, as ruler of Thebes, is to forbid anyone to bury or mourn for Polynices. This edict goes against the established custom which permitted those foes fallen in battle to be honoured by their relatives with the customary rites and buried.
Antigone defies this edict - even though she knows her disobedience will mean her own death. She believes that the ancient customs, given by the gods and which thus honour the gods, have priority over any edict or law made by a mortal, and that thus it is her duty to observe these customs.
The reality, however, is that the 'Antigone' is a not a tragedy concerned with individual characters - with their motivations, feelings, ideas and so on. It is not, for instance, as many modern commentators like in their ignorance to believe, a drama about two different personalities - Antigone and Creon - both of whom are self-willed and determined. Rather, this tragedy - as do all Greek tragedies when rightly understood - deals with the relation between mortals and gods. The work is an exploration and explanation of the workings of the cosmos - and the answers given express the distinctive ancient Greek 'outlook' or ethos. This ethos is pagan, and it forms the basis of all civilized conduct and indeed civilization itself. The essence of this outlook is that there are limits to human behaviour - some conduct is wise; some conduct is unwise. Unwise conduct invites retribution by the gods: it can and often does result in personal misfortune - in bad luck.
However, it is crucial to understand that this outlook does not involve abstract, monotheistic notions like "good" and "evil". The Greeks strove to emulate a human ideal - they strove, through the pursuit of excellence, to emulate and celebrate the best. Their ideals or 'archetypes' were the best, the most heroic, the most beautiful, the most excellent individuals of their communities. In their pursuit of this excellence they were careful not to "overstep the mark" - to be excessive, to commit 'hubris' or 'insolence' toward the gods. Such insolence was a violation of the customs which created and maintained the warrior communities - and these customs were regarded as being given by the gods. By honouring these customs, the gods themselves were honoured and the very fabric of the communities maintained. Thus, a noble human balance was maintained. Of course, there were times of excess - as there were individuals who were excessive. But it was recognized that such excesses were unwise - they would, sooner or later, be paid for. In effect, this outlook or ethos was that of the noble warrior aware of the power of Fate, of the gods. This ethos created and maintained a certain personal character - and this character is evident whenever one reads Homer, Sophocles, Aeschylus, and other Greek writers, or views any Greek sculpture or painting. The essentially archetypal Greek man was an intelligent, reasoning, proud, vigorous, independent warrior who respected the gods and who honoured the customs of the folk. Fundamentally, he was human - able to enjoy life and its pleasures, but aware (from personal experience) of death, suffering, the power of Fate and the gods.
What we admire so much about the ancient Greeks was this balance between a pagan joy and enthusiasm, and an understanding and acceptance of Fate, of the power of the gods - in the rightly-famed Choral Ode of the 'Antigone (vv. 332ff ) Sophocles calls such a man the "thinking warrior", the all-resourceful one, for whom nothing is impossible: he who by his skill rules over others.
In contrast, the outlook that has increasingly come to dominate modern Western life and modern Western societies - and which mostly derives from the monotheistic religion of Christianity - imbues individuals with abstract moral ideas which, to be blunt, are unnatural and which mostly result in either (a) individuals concerned with obtaining their own place in 'heaven' and/or pursuing some zealous crusade for some abstract, unnatural idea; or (b) selfish, excessive basically materially orientated individuals who have no understanding or experience of the limits of behaviour - no respect for Fate, for their folk; no sense of duty and certainly no understanding of warrior values like honour and loyalty.
Fundamentally, Greek tragedy enables us to gain an insight
into that way of living and that way of thinking which are
essential to civilization. The sad fact is that this insight is
increasingly being lost among the peoples of the West.
(2) Concerning the 'Oedipus Tyrannus':
For a significant percentage of people who have heard of or read the story of Oedipus, the central theme is the incest of Oedipus with his mother - and then, the killing of his father. The same applies to most of those who read or watch a performance of one of the appalling 'translations' which unfortunately seem to appear with monotonous regularity.
In the majority of interpretations, 'explanations' and translations of and about Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus (or 'Oedipus the King') the incest and the patricide are viewed morally, and thus the tragedy becomes a sort of ancient 'morality tale'. In many translations, the impression is given that Oedipus commits a 'sin' by sleeping with his mother and killing his father, and is punished because of it.
This sort of moral interpretation is completely wrong. The essence of this particular Greek tragedy lies in the realm of the gods, with the relationship between individuals, their communities, and the gods. The incest in particular is merely an interesting incident which occurs to a particular mortal and whose importance lies in the realm of prophecy - in what prophecy says about the will of the gods and the fate of mortals. Furthermore, this incest is not viewed with 'horror' by either Oedipus himself or by anyone else - it never described as a 'monstrous deed' or anything of the kind. All Oedipus says about it is that he "should not" have slept with his mother - it was disrespectful (for example qv. v.1184 and v.1441). Even when Oedipus is describing the first time he heard the prophecy that he would sleep with his mother and kill his father, the tone is quite restrained and definitely not moralistic: "Suffering and strangeness and misery were what his words foresaw: that I must copulate with my mother - and show, for mortals to behold, a family who would not endure..." (vv.790-3). He then goes on to say: "I fled... so that I would never have to face - because of that inauspicious prophecy - the disgrace of its fulfilment.'
The tragedy lies in the fact that Oedipus was not initially disrespectful of the gods - he tried to avoid killing his father, and sleeping with his mother; and when he learns that the oracle at Delphi has said that the plague which is killing the people of Thebes is the result of a defilement which has not been cleaned [the blood is still on a killer's hand] then he is ready to do all that the god says is necessary (vv.95ff.).
What actually occurs is that Oedipus oversteps the proper limits of behaviour in his quest to find the killer of Laius and discover his own identity. He begins to act like a tyrant, an absolute monarch. First, he accuses the blind prophet Tiresias of conspiring against him. Then he accuses his brother-in-law Creon of wanting to overthrow him. Later on, he is dismissive of the warnings of Jocasta and the Shepherd not to enquire further into his origins. He also boasts that he is a child of Fortuna. Oedipus was certain of himself - he knew he had great skill [ did he not solve the riddle of the Sphinx?]; he had great strength and courage [did he not by his own hands kill many men when he believed himself attacked (vv.801ff)]; he had power and wealth [was he not King of Thebes?]. All these things, in relation to the power of the gods, mean nothing. As Creon says to him at the very end of the drama: "Do not desire to be master in all things, for you are without the strength which assisted you in your life." It is the gods who have taken away his strength, his skill and his power - as the Chorus say in another Sophoclean tragedy: "Mortals cannot be delivered from the misfortunes of their fate." [Antigone, v.1338]. The tragedy of Oedipus ends with words which summarize all this: "Observe - here is Oedipus, he who understood that famous enigma and was a strong man: what clansman did not behold that fortune without envy? But what a tide of problems have come over him!... Therefore, call no one lucky until, without the pain of injury, they are conveyed beyond life's ending."
Oedipus himself accepts that his troubles were the work of the gods: "It was Apollo - Apollo who brought such troubles to such a troubled ending." (vv.1329-1330). Oedipus goes on to say that his own blindness - which the blind prophet Tiresias had foreseen - was not the work of the gods, but his own handiwork.
The fundamental question which Sophocles poses in this tragedy is voiced by the Chorus when they reply (v.1347) to a request by Oedipus that he be exiled: "You are as helpless in that resolve as you were in your misfortune." What the tragedy is really explaining, is that however fortunate a person's fate may appear - it is only not only appearance, but also depends on the will of the gods: it can be destroyed in a moment. Therefore, it is wise not to overstep the mark - it is wise not to be excessive; it is wise to observe the customs given by the gods and thus the gods themselves (qv. vv.863ff.). To do otherwise is insolence, disrespect - 'hubris' - and invites a retribution by the gods.
Sophocles says of 'hubris' - "Insolence plants the
tyrant. There is insolence if by a great foolishness there is a
useless over-filling which goes beyond the proper limits. It is
an ascending to the steepest and utmost heights and then that
hurtling toward that Destiny where the useful foot has no
use..." (vv.872ff).
One further point about the Oedipus Tyrannus deserves
noting, since it has hitherto been mostly ignored. It is the
mercy shown by the Shepherd when he is given the infant Oedipus
by Laius and Jocasta to leave exposed on the mountain. They have
pierced the ankles of the infant Oedipus and fastened them
together to make certain he dies. But the Shepherd is merciful
and gives the infant to another Shepherd. The consequences of
this act of mercy are a sequence of terrible misfortunes which
Oedipus, Jocasta and the children of Oedipus suffer - and which,
incidently, Creon himself later suffers from (as evident in
Sophocles' Antigone). Later, after his self-inflicted
blinding, Oedipus curses the person who saved him: "May
death come to whosoever while roaming those grasslands loosened
those cruel fetters..... It was not a favourable deed. For had I
died then, no grief such as this would have been caused to either
me or my kin." (vv.1349f.). Sophocles clearly states that an
act of mercy or compassion can lead to others suffering in the
future - and can therefore be unwise.
