Why I am not a White Nationalist — Where They Are Wrong Politically

Why I am not a White Nationalist — 

Where They Are Wrong Politically

Thomas Allen

The following are some key political areas where White Nationalists err.

– Populism. White Nationalists are populists. Populism claims to champion the common man and to protect him from the oligarchs and plutocrats. The government governs for the common good. (What is the common good, and who decides it?) Populists oppose big business and financial interests. (So do I.) To thwart subversion by special interest, governmental deliberations should be public and transparent. (Can transparency really exist under the authoritarian version of populism? If so, how?) Generally, populists favor fiat money, inflation (to cheat creditors by paying debt with less valuable money), graduated income tax and other “soak it to the rich” schemes (which usually backfire by soaking it to the middle and working classes), governmental ownership of utilities, labor regulations that greatly favor workers, and heavily regulated transportation systems if not outright governmental ownership. Also, they favor immigration restrictions and welfare programs for the working and middle classes. While some populists favor an authoritarian government, others favor direct democracy through popular initiatives and referenda. Popularism gave the United States the Sixteenth Amendment (the graduated income tax) and the Seventeenth Amendment (direct election of Senators).

– Statism. White Nationalists are statists and seem to have little use for libertists. (For a description of the two, see “Statists Versus Libertists” by Thomas Allen.) Under statism, its priesthood, the government, grows until the state consumes all and becomes a god and the decider and provider of everything. Although statism is the cause of most of the social problems that they identify, White Nationalists do not want to abandon statism; they want to use the state to impose their economic and other policies and programs. Communist China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union are examples of the fruition of statism. The love of statism is one of the most egregious problems with White Nationalism. (For more details on statism, see “The State” and “The Difference Between Government and State” by Thomas Allen.) 

– Common good. Except where it conflicts with the common good, White Nationalists support private liberty. However, who decides what is the common good? According to White Nationalists, the state decides the common good and has unlimited powers to achieve it. And who or what is the state? The state is the oligarchs (the ruling elite) through bureaucrats and politicians. (The difference between pursuing the common good under White Nationalism and pursuing it under communism, socialism, fascism, and the current US regime is hard to distinguish although what they consider the common good may differ significantly.) Like all statists, White Nationalists believe that rights and liberties come from the state.

Although White Nationalists support free speech, presumably in the name of the common good, some governmental authority can declare that free speech, freedom of worship, the right to bear arms, and all the other rights and liberties identified in the Bill of Rights conflict with the common good and, therefore, prohibit them.

Many left-wingers believe that the common good requires censorship. Governmental bureaucrats should decide what people read and hear, i.e., what political views to which they are exposed. Since “democracy” is the great common good, censorship is necessary to protect it. Do White Nationalists believe that censorship is a common good? They seem ambivalent; free speech is a common good when it benefits them, while censorship is a common good when some bureaucrat or governmental leader declares it to be a common good.

On the other hand, many right-wingers also believe that democracy is the common good. Yet, they believe that free speech is essential to protecting democracy and is, therefore, a common good. — not censorship. (Nazis and fascists are not right-wingers; they are left-wingers.)

Additionally, left-wingers assert that banning the private ownership of firearms serves the common good because fewer people will be shot (and because disarmed people resisting tyranny is much more difficult). Do White Nationalists agree? Presumably, they do because banning privately owned firearms serves the common good. Or does a common good depend on who decides what it is?

Moreover, many White Nationalists believe that people should be forcibly injected with an experimental gene therapy drug if some bureaucrat finds that it is for the common good. The common good of society always trumps individual liberties.

Furthermore, White Nationalists criticize right-wingers for denying that a common good exists. They are wrong. Right-wingers merely disagree with White Nationalists on what is the common good. For most Right-wingers, individual liberty is the paramount common good.

As shown above, the common good depends on who wields political power.

– Constitution. Being statists, White Nationalists prefer the constitution that Lincoln gave the country to the one that the founding fathers gave it. (For the difference between the two, see “What Is Your View of the US Constitution?” by Thomas Allen. Also, see “More on the US Constitution”  and “More Thoughts Related to the US Constitution” by Thomas Allen.) Additionally, as statists, they prefer a centralist society to a decentralist society. Centralists emphasize the larger community: the state, a puissant central government, the collective, big businesses, central banks, and even the utopian world state. (White Nationalists object to a world state because it conflicts with their policy of each race having its own independent countries. Although many may object to a central bank, their economic program requires a central bank.) Decentralists emphasize the smaller community: the individual, the family, voluntary associations, small businesses, and local and State or provincial governments. (For a more detailed discussion of the two, see “Centralism Versus Decentralism” by Thomas Allen.)

– Lack of trust in the people. Like progressives, liberals, socialists, and fascists, White Nationalists do not trust the people. However, like them, they do trust politicians and especially bureaucrats implicitly — despite politicians and bureaucrats being the cause of most of the problems to which White Nationalists object. Like progressives, liberals, socialists, and fascists, White Nationalists seem to believe that sinful humans become angels when they become government employees. If they do not believe this, why do they want them to have so much power?

– Prefer bureaucratic rule. White Nationalists prefer the rule of bureaucrats to politicians governing because politicians think no further than the next election. However, the democratically unaccountable bureaucrats (the “Deep State”) can engage in long-range planning. Thus, White Nationalists believe that a governmentally bureaucratically controlled society — which is a fascist, socialist, and communist idea — is superior to a laissez-faire society.

– Prefer the rule of men. White Nationalists prefer the rule of men to the rule of law. (What the United States enjoy today is the rule of men clothed in the rule of law.) In making decisions, they prefer a strong leader like the Fuhrer or Il Duce, who is held responsible for his decisions, to a legislative body. (Who is going to hold the leader accountable for his decisions?) Moreover, they oppose the checks and balances contained in the US Constitution and State constitutions. Thus, they seem to oppose constitutional government or at least a constitution that is intended to protect the rights and liberties of the people — even White people. Perhaps, this is the main reason that they prefer Lincoln’s constitution since it places little restraint on the federal government.

The State

The State

Thomas Allen

The state is an abstraction. So, when we speak of the state doing something, we are really speaking of the elite, either as an individual or a group, who controls and acts in the name of the state. Likewise, when we speak of the rights, privileges, and immunities of the state, we are really speaking of the rights, privileges, and immunities of this controlling elite who acts in the name of the state.

Who is this elite that controls the state? Originally, it was a monarch. Now, it is the oligarchs. The oligarchs consist primarily of plutocrats and high-ranking politicians, bureaucrats, and judges. Accordingly, it is more correct to use the terms “oligarch” or “oligarchy” instead of “state.”

Instead of developing spontaneously, the state is a manmade invention — a manmade institution and political entity. It is not a discovery, nor has God preordained it. (In many respects, the state is idolatry because many people worship it and look at it as their savior.)

The state originated in Europe during the seventeenth century following the breakup of the medieval political order. Before the seventeenth century, the state as such did not exist.

Max Weber defines the state as “a relation of men dominating men, a relation supported by means of legitimate (i.e., considered to be legitimate) violence . . . [it] is a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory.” Yoram Barzel defines the state as consisting of “(1) a set of individuals who are subject to a single ultimate third party who uses violence for enforcement and (2) a territory where these individuals reside, demarcated by the reach of the enforcer power.”

An essential attribute of a state is that it possesses a monopoly on the use of force, either legitimately or illegitimately, to impose its will.  Consequently, it must disarm the people. This assertion of a monopoly of the means of violence gives the government’s claim to provide protection more credibility and makes resistance more difficult.

To exercise its violence, the state establishes a monopolistic organization of violence over its territory and centralizes the control of violence. As a result, it increasingly monopolies public life and absorbs all other centers of power. Specifically, it concentrates power. Such concentration of power is necessary for a state to survive.

Moreover, the state represents both a domestic and international political order. It is a sovereign power.

Another essential attribute of a state is that it is territorial. It is the sovereign of a particular geographical area.  That is, it is a legal entity that occupies a definite space. Its authority is contained within this space. However, to achieve this goal, the state has to deny citizens (or more correctly subjects) all other loyalties. Consequently, the state seeks to destroy all intermediate bodies between it and individuals except associations that it approves.

Before the rise of the state, customs regulated conduct and not the law. Tax collection was difficult and sporadic. Men were not drafted for war or labor. With the arrival of the State, law replaced custom (although the law often codified customs), taxes became more collectible, and men were drafted for war. This ability of a state to demand and easily obtain “blood and money” from its subjects distinguishes it from all other political arrangements.

A great advantage of the state to the oligarchs is privileges, immunities, and other benefits that they and their associates receive that are denied to others.

With the insatiable lust for power, the state is the enemy of freedom. Freedom can only be achieved by restricting and containing the state. Historically, federalism has been highly effective in this endeavor as long as the federation lasted.

Sovereignty is another essential attribute of the state. In Europe, according to Bassani, sovereignty “is eminently juridical and implies the idea of an unlimited and illimitable concentration of power at a given center.” (Bassani, pp. 49-50) Consequently, “sovereignty requires potentially unlimited concentration of power in a territory.” (Bassani, p. 50) Thus, the European concept of sovereignty is statism, absolute political power residing in the state.

For Americans before Lincoln’s War, sovereignty meant the supreme legislative authority or the primary power to make laws. It did not imply or require the concentration and centralization of power, which federalism dispersed. For most Americans before Lincoln’s War, sovereignty resided in the States, i.e., sovereignty resided in the people of each State independent of all other States. Therefore, the American concept of sovereignty has an antistatism function.

Sovereignty is indivisible and illimitable. However, a sovereign power can delegate rights. Nevertheless, these delegated rights do not make the body receiving them sovereign because the sovereign that grants them remains the superior will. In Europe, the sovereign is the state, i.e., the oligarchs. In America before Lincoln’s War, it was the people of each individual state separately. After Lincoln’s War, the oligarchs usurped the powers of the people of the States and concentrated them in the federal government and, by that, made those who controlled the federal government, the oligarchs, sovereign.

Think Tanks and Artificial Intelligence

Think Tanks and Artificial Intelligence

Thomas Allen

Under discussion now is how many jobs will artificial intelligence (AI) replace. Among the easiest jobs that AI can do is that of the “intellectuals” at the typical progressive-liberal-Democratic (PLD), neoconservative-establishment conservative-Republican (NECR), and libertarian think tanks. Their jobs are so repetitive and predictable that AI would have no problem duplicating them. A simple algorithm can do their jobs.

Progressive-Liberal-Democratic Think Tanks
PLD think tanks believe that nonwhites are good; Whites are so bad that they must be eradicated. Likewise, with Western Civilization, it must also be eradicated. However, the Southerner is so egregiously vile and evil that he must be terminated through all eternity. Needless to say, Southern culture, heritage, and traditions must be annihilated. Consequently, nothing good can be said about Whites and Western Civilization and especially about Southerners and the South.

As for religion, PLD think tanks believe that Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and all other religions are good or at least acceptable except Christianity, which is abominable. Secularism and atheism are exceedingly good. However, the primary religion of PLD think tanks is the worship of their idol, the state. They continuously feed the state, so it can grow unbounded.

As for economics, PLD think tanks believe that Marxism and statism in all their forms are good. Central planning is desirable: The more regulations, the better. An economy that depends on a free market and free enterprise is bad.

The welfare state and dependency on the government are good; independence is bad. Anything that makes people more dependent on the government, i.e., that enslaves them more, is good. Anything that frees people from the government is detrimental.

Because PLS think tanks distrust the people with weapons, they want to disarm the people. (When the people are disarmed, they offer much weaker resistance to despotism.) However, when these same people become governmental employees, i.e., politicians, bureaucrats, and soldiers, they become saints who can be trusted with weapons. Thus, PLS think tanks trust bureaucrats, soldiers, and politicians with weapons.

PLD think tanks claim that homosexual, interracial, and other illicit sexual acts are admirable while heterosexual sex within marriage is deplorable.

Furthermore, PLD think tanks maintain that integration and amalgamation are good. Segregation and separation are cataclysmic unless nonwhites segregate or separate from Whites, then it is admirable. Diversity is of upmost importance although their policies destroy it.

PLD think tanks are strong proponents of reform and promote change for change’s sake — but always in the direction of more governmental control.

Neoconservative-Establishment Conservative-Republican Think Tank
NECR think tanks are almost identical to PLD think tanks. The primary difference is that NECR think tanks want to implement the programs promoted by PLD think tanks more slowly and make them more efficient, i.e., more despotic and tyrannical. Moreover, whereas PLD think tanks are Zionists, NECR think tanks are staunch Zionists. Also, NECR think tanks are more addicted to war than are PLD think tanks. NECR think tanks never saw a war that they did not like. Thus, they are more enthralled than PLD think tanks with an ever-expanding American Empire. (PLD think tanks are also supporters of an expanding American Empire.)

Like PLD think tanks, NECR think tanks also hate Whites. Thus, they are hostile toward Western Civilization, although they usually conceal their hostility. Although they disparage Southerners and the South, they are not as venomous as PLD think tanks.

Though NECR think tanks elevate Christianity more than PLD think tanks, they subordinate it to Islam and especially Judaism.

While they give lip service to free-market economics, NECR think tanks support business-government partnerships and collaboration between businesses and government.

Although NECR think tanks often praise independence, they also seek to enslave the people to the government. Like PLD think tanks, they are proponents of the welfare state; they just want one that is more efficient. Nevertheless, they often attack welfare for individuals, except veterans. However, they are reluctant to criticize welfare in the form of subsidies, trade restrictions, etc. for businesses, especially big businesses.

Being Janus-faced, NECR think tanks defend the right of the people to possess weapons while they eagerly compromise such rights away. Their primary disagreement with PLD think tanks is about how quickly the people are disarmed.

While not as ardent supporter and promoter of homosexual and other illicit sexual acts, except miscegenation, which they fine admirable, they have no real problem with homosexual or most other illicit sexual acts. However, they are not hostile toward heterosexual marriages.

Like PLD think tanks, NECR think tanks maintain that integration and amalgamation are good. Segregation and separation are cataclysmic. Whereas PLD think tanks support nonwhites segregating and separating themselves from Whites, NECR think tanks do not.

Also, like PLD think tanks, NECR think tanks praise diversity, but not as highly. Moreover, like PLD think tanks, NECR think tanks advocate policies that destroy diversity.

The major difference between NECR think tanks and PLD think tanks is that the PLD think tanks rush forward into Marxist and statism and their concomitant despotism with abandonment while NECR think tanks cautiously move forward into Marxism and statism to make their despotism more efficient.

Libertarian Think Tanks
Like PLD and NECR think tanks, libertarian think tanks support anything that contributes to the destruction of the White man’s Western Civilization, which birthed libertarianism, and to the White man himself.

Libertarian think tanks believe that corporations, especially international corporations, and their leaders are innately good; governments and governmental leaders are innately bad. Political borders are bad.

For libertarian think tanks, homosexual, interracial, and other illicit sex acts are good. However, heterosexual marriages are not necessarily bad.

Religiously, libertarian think tanks are agnostic with a predilection toward human secularism.

Also, they oppose the welfare state and governmental control of the people. However, corporate control of the people is acceptable.

According to libertarian think tanks, the people should be armed and the government should be disarmed. Thus, libertarian think tanks trust the people with weapons, but they distrust governmental employees with weapons.

In agriculture, financial profit per acre and not production per acre is what is important. Moreover, money trumps culture, heritage, traditions, and similar intangibles. However, unlike PLD and NECR think tanks, libertarian think tanks abhor businesses collaborating with governments to gain economic advantage. For libertarian think tanks, free market and free enterprise are always good; governmental intervention in the economy is bad, i.e., Marxism and statism are evil. Consequently, libertarians never worship the state; they condemn it.

Conclusion
All three of these think tanks have several things in common. First, they loathe the White race. Being albusphobes, they look forward with joy to the day when the White race no longer exists. Consequently, they oppose any action, especially by governments, to preserve the White race. Second, these think tanks abominate the Southerner and the South so intensely, that they passionately strive to genocide the Southerner and to erase the South from the memory of mankind, except as the example of unadulterated evil — something so evil that it even makes Satan look holy. Third, all three advocate policies that will destroy Western Civilization. Fourth, these think tanks adore globalism and cosmopolitanism and abhor localism and provincialism. They favor open borders and unrestricted, unlimited immigration because such action is highly detrimental to the White race and its Western Civilization. (NECR, libertarian, and some PLD think tanks deny that they have such hatred of the White Race, the Southerner, the South, and Western Civilization and seek their destruction. Nevertheless, destruction is the result of the policies that they advocate whatever their motives, and, furthermore, that is how they act.)

One of the easiest jobs for AI to take over is that of the “intellectuals” of the typical PLD, NECR, and libertarian think tanks. Their thought patterns are so routine and predictable that even a mediocre programmer could write the program.
