Inspirational Ibsen

One day generations may come after us
Who form the mainstay of popular unity
At this point the old greatness will arise once more
And wise words will become gloriously true

~ Henrik Ibsen, 1872

Nietzsche in ‘The Gay Science’

Quote:

We who are homeless — Among Europeans today there is no lack of those who are entitled to call themselves homeless in a distinctive and honorable sense ... We children of the future, how could we be at home in this today! We feel disfavor for all ideals that might lead one to feel at home even in this fragile, broken time of transition; as for its ‘realities,’ we do not believe that they will last. The ice that still supports people today has become very thin: the wind that brings the thaw is blowing, we ourselves who are homeless constitute a force that breaks open ice and other all too thin ‘realities’ ...

From Among the Ruins

Quote:

Wherever colonisation is a fact, the indigenous culture begins to rot. And among the ruins something begins to be born which is not a culture but a kind of subculture, a subculture which is condemned to exist on the margin allowed by a European culture. This then becomes the province of a few men, the elite, who find themselves placed in the most artificial conditions, deprived of any revivifying contact with the masses of the people.

-- Not one of ours lamenting the marginalisation of voices that speak for us but Aimé Césaire in his address to the Congress of Black Writers and Artists, Paris, 1956. Apt to be nicked though, and the vital and topical thing is, of course, that the age of deprivation and marginalisation (short cycle, at least) appears to be coming to an end.

A Fine and Heroic service to Civilization

Concerning a closely related struggle, but in a different country and era and with different reference points, Georges Sorel gave advice that may be worth storing away for today’s British nationalists:

The danger which threatens the future of the world may be avoided if the proletariat hold on with obstinacy to revolutionary ideas, so as to realize as much as possible Marx’s conception. Everything may be saved if the proletariat, by their use of violence, manage to re-establish the division into classes and so restore to the bourgeoisie something of its energy: that is the great aim towards which the whole thought of men who are not hypnotized by the events of the day but who think of the conditions of tomorrow must be directed. Proletarian violence, carried on as a pure and simple manifestation of the sentiment of class struggle, appears thus as a very fine and heroic thing; it is at the service of the immemorial interests of civilization; it is not perhaps the most appropriate method of obtaining immediate material advantages, but it may save the world from barbarism.

George Sorel, Reflections on Violence, Ed. Jeremy Jennings: Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought (Cambridge University Press, 2004) p.85.

The political and even the democratic is no less the preferred method than it was before the race-replacers outlawed the BNP’s policy of being unapologetically White, but we must know that other means to our ends might one day become preferred or necessary.

Like Jefferson said, ‘The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.’

Burke on our struggle for existence

Never succumb to the enemy; it is a struggle for your existence as a nation; and if you must die, die with the sword in your hand; there is a salient, living principle of energy in the public mind of England which only requires proper direction to enable her to withstand this or any other ferocious foe; persevere till this tyranny be overpast.

Quoted in James Prior, Memoir of the Life and Character of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke (London, 1824), p. 447.

Napoleon was the foe then. ALL who struggle against our struggle for existence are our enemies today.
