Rising

Just as she [Greece] had expended in their behalf [the Latins] all of her most precious and outstanding possessions liberally and without any parsimony, and had restored with her hand and force of arms the state of Italy, long ago oppressed by the Goths, they [the Latins] should in the same way now be willing to raise up prostrate and afflicted Greece and liberate it by arms from the hands of the barbarians.

National Anarchism and National Socialism

A long overdue separating definition of National Anarchism has been published by Bay Area National Anarchists from California. It is significant that separating from reaction opens new ways of thinking, and the mind of people seeking the change should finally leave the well-used paths that the system wants us to walk.

This article is meant to be a quick examination of National Anarchism and neo-nazism. National Anarchism is an anti-nazi ideology. By anti-nazi we mean that we are opposed to reenacting the form and practice of National Socialist demagogue's as espoused by the German Third Reich and their modern adherents.

We believe that posturing political opinions based on prominent figures in previous decades obscures the real issues effecting our people and furthermore hides those issues behind a mirage of history that gets us nowhere closer to achieving our goals.

For example, if the nazis of the master race really cared about their own people they wouldn't aspire to the undermensch (under-men or subhuman) level of behavior that generally characterizes what they are supposed to be against.

The litmus test of whither a political movement has any relevancy to the people they address is if they represent that communities interests in the best possible way with the resources they have. Hizbollah does this. Hamas does this. al-Sadr does this.

Frank Collins (Cohen) does not. George Lincoln Rockwell does not. William Piece does not. Kevin Strom does not. But to be fair even the anarchist movement doesn't do this.

We also believe that nazis that dress up in brown shirt uniforms and swastikas can have no positive role to play in the future of white communities. National Socialism remains an essentially 20th century outlook on life that does not have any solutions for the pressing ethnic, social, and economic problems of our time. We encourage white people in all sincerity who have been influenced by National Socialism or inspired by the Third Reich to embrace race positive philosophies so as to not base their passion for their own culture on an all consuming psychopathic hatred of others.

National Anarchists believe that people of European descent have a unique role to play in decreasing totalitarian capitalism and globalization of authoritarian structures in our society, as much if not more so as other people do in their own countries.

The importance of this revolutionary role has increased to a critical state as the ruling class immigrates white people into non-existence in the traditional homelands of the European phenotype.

National Anarchists are students of the successes and failures of identity politics throughout history. The study* of what has worked in the past and what is not working in the present reveals itself when applying the metapolitical perspective of history.

One approach referred to applying these lessons was wrote about by Michael O'Meara** as "archeofuturism" where the emphasis on an "immemorial" memory of a collective past is distinguished differently from the memory of others provides the basis of forming an ethnic community. In America it is primarily blacks and Hispanics who have their own metahistorical interpretation of the past (however so-called Native Americans have a varied and unique metahistorical narrative as well). This is a task National Anarchists take upon themselves to reawaken in European descended people.

This existential connection with the tribal, decentralized, and primordial past is what differentiates National Anarchist raison d'etre (reason for being) from postmodern neo-Nazism and National Socialism as conceived of in it's classical form.

This fundamental differences in perceiving time, culture, race, and people is what differentiates National Anarchism and National Socialism which signals a complete and radical break from the trappings of 20th century street theatre that has wasted the best intentions and sacrifices of European activists across four generations.

Because of this we are able to work with people of different ethnicities, sexualities, and political agendas in a way that will culture jam the European community out of their comfort zone and into the role of a revolutionary agent the ruling class will fear and demonize. We will do this by divesting from the economic, social, and political power structures of our country and catalyst the failures that will allow us to pick up the pieces of a ruling class that has overstayed it's welcome.

Man being a social animal, incapable of living in a solitary state, it has been necessary for men to band together and to congregate in cities, fortified places or towns, and to hold meetings to provide for their mutual needs. And in order that they should understand one another in these meetings, Nature has invented, and given to them, language and speech for each to express his particular need to others. Moreover, every community of men is ordered to a particular end, which it may reach by diverse means. There is a need for some body to direct and rule the others, since every people and place, to attain its natural good, needs government. Such governments are various, differing in diverse ways. Some are ruled by a single head, some by many people, some by the entire population together. The rule and government of a single head, provided that head is good, is the best, or most desirable form of all governments, and is the most conducive to unity. And this is the reason: because there is great difficulty in reducing to unity the great together with the small, and where virtue is more unified it has greater strength; and because it is easier to realise unity in a single leader than in several. Rule by one is, therefore, better than rule by many, so long as he who governs is good. But when such a ruler is bad, this is the worst form of government, the very opposite of the best. And therefore a variety of governments have been invented, according to the diversity of people and places.

Hieronymus Savonarola [Sermon XIII On Haggai, Delivered 14 December, Advent 1494]

Aus dem "Zwiegespräch über die Wahrheit der Prophetie"

Hieronymus: Muss nun aber nach dem Zeugnisse der Schrift nicht auch der Antichrist auftreten, welcher wider die Heiligen aufs grausamste wüten wird?
Thoralmed: Allerdings, doch meinen manche, er sei schon erschienen.
Hieronymus: Wer soll es denn sein?
Thoralmed: Mohammed.
Hieronymus: Da täuschen sie sich ebenso, wie man zur Zeit der Apostel den Kaiser Nero für den Antichrist hielt... Wer könnte glauben, der Antichrist, vor dessen Verführungskünsten so viele Schriften warnen, sei zwar erschienen, aber der ganzen Christenheit verborgen geblieben?... Wenn wir nun mit Recht glauben, er werde erst kommen, so müssen wir auch auf die furchtbarsten Verheerungen von ihm gefasst sein, denn es heisst: "Dann werden grosse Drangsale herrschen, wie sie seit Weltbeginn nicht waren noch sein werden" usw. (Matth. 24, 21)
Thoralmed: Das kann niemand bestreiten.
Hieronymus: Wo werden diese Verfolgungen nun wohl statthaben?
Thoralmed: Im Lande der Verheissung, näherhin in Jerusalem.
Hieronymus: ...Dann müssen wir aber auch zugeben, dass es da in jener Zeit Christen geben wird, und zwar solche, welche imstande sind, dem Antichrist zu trotzen und seine furchtbaren Bedrückungen tapfer auszuhalten.
Thoralmed: Gewiss.
Hieronymus: Der Schrift zufolge muss also die Kirche dort zuerst Wurzeln schlagen und dann das Evangelium auf der ganzen Welt verkündet werden.
