Individualism, while originally good in concept and proposition, has been allowed to run rampant in our modern society, where it has become a plague in its amplification. The nation of the future will not abolish the individual, nor will it ruthlessly enforce a sole collective, but the merits of both must be structured to complement one another.
Every man exists as a member of several collectives, and of these collectives a select few identities have strategically been stripped from our people’s sense of self. You are a member of a family, a community, a nation, and a race beyond that.
These are the natural classifications that have been given to all men, young and old, rich and poor. Only by the encroaching rot of internationalization have these ties been weakened, and in many cases ultimately broken. Alongside this, many have been so bereft of these invaluable aspects of their identity that they have been led to hate themselves and their people, and even view their prevalence as detrimental to one’s well being.
However, it must be noted that you exist as an individual, but you do so in accordance with your family, community, nation, and race. You must never exist in spite of them. To see yourself solely as an individual is misguided and lacks an ethical basis. Your actions are not your own in the sense that they almost always affect someone other than yourself. For better or worse, the decisions you make have ripples and echoes that radiate out through the variety of collectives to which you belong.
Every group has a common interest in the form of survival, prosperity, and progress. What we see illustrated so well in our current age is also the prevalence of collective threats. In order to survive as a culture, a heritage, and a way of being, our nation must learn that its collective interests are fighting against its collective threats of displacement and enslavement.
In times of turmoil, such as we find ourselves in, the thousand muttering tones of our people must shape themselves into a single, unified voice. Through unity and through the civilizational focus on a set of ideals and goals, human accomplishment is brought to its full potential. The greatest question our civilization has preoccupied itself with asking has been how one can achieve the greatest amount of personal pleasure. The rise in this question’s primacy in the collective unconscious of our people has correlated exactly with our decline. Our people and our civilization should occupy themselves with asking a new question. The answer to that question will be the proper balance between societal duty and personal liberty.
Humans are social creatures. We form groups, cliques, and factions. All of what we do is a result of our nature. These instincts are complex but can be summed up as the need for safety, social connections, and an understanding of ourselves and our world. These instincts are ever present, as is human nature, but the ways in which we act upon them is not.
What our people have been subject to is the isolation and amplification of these desires. Where one once sought a family, he now only seeks fornication. Where one once sought community, he now only seeks gratification. Where one once sought nourishment, he now only seeks sustenance.
People without a natural identity will find an artificial one. Instead of identifying with a natural classification such as family, community, nation, or race, one will identify with a corporate brand, a materialistic political viewpoint, or a commercialized facet of culture. This very dangerous progression has these artificial identities provide the most assured way to strip the nation of liberty. Tyranny seeks to extend from the body, to the mind, and ultimately the spirit. To destroy the nature of man governed by the family, community, and nation, and give it to the boss, the politician, and the celebrity.
The purpose of the current perversion of our nature is to cement the habit of consumption and affirm a biddable trait among the masses. This effort is sustainable only in absolute completion, where it will enslave the entirety of the human population.
Instead, what must be constructed is a society which complements these natural instincts with virtuous acts pushing men to greatness. The needs for physical well being will be met as a result of our people seeing themselves as a common collective and providing assistance to one another. The needs for community and belonging will come as a result of the restitution of our familial structure and the reclamation of our role in the story of the nation. The needs for an understanding of our world will come from this new national spirit, from this revolutionary synthesis of man and nature, and from this unification of society and instinct.
