Electoral Politics Revisited

Analysis.

See my comments about an electoral politics strategy.  Given recent events, there needs to be more analysis on this matter. Social media companies routinely censor conservative Republican politicians in America; even President Trump sometimes gets censored.  We have to play the cards we are dealt and make things as difficult as possible for the other side:

If the System wants to shut down White advocacy, then make it as difficult and as painful and as potentially self-destructive for them as possible.  Force them into the position in which the only way to shut down White advocacy is to engage in blatant and public banana republic third world authoritarianism, force them to either accept White advocacy in the political arena or risk unmasking themselves to White America several decades too early.

And yet, perhaps I was unrealistically naïve. The System unmasks itself and Whites do not react.  And yet, the electoral political approach is one important tool in our toolkit, and should not be summarily relinquished.  We need to rethink things carefully though.

See this about Europe.

Earlier today a judge in Athens condemned almost all of Golden Dawn’s elected officials, including sitting European parliament member Ioannis Lagos, to years in prison…Michaloliakos was not tied to any specific crime, but prosecutors used editions of his group’s magazine featuring articles about Germany during World War II from the 1980s and 90s to argue that their political ideas were a form of violence in and of themselves…It was only after May 2012, when the party achieved 7% of the vote, that the Greek state decided it was time to arrest them in 2013.

The Greek situation is very, very bad. Here we have the party’s political ideas themselves being called “a form of violence” (!) and the rationale given for imprisoning elected officials. Greece can no longer be called a “democracy” by any stretch of the imagination; it is a leftist authoritarian state. The hypocrisy of the System is beyond belief – Orban in Hungary is called “authoritarian” simply for resisting globalist tyranny, while the real Greek tyrants are praised for jailing elected officials simply because of their political beliefs.  And I presume the hypocritical scum Roger Griffin will consider this persecution of Golden Dawn as an example of “fascist failure” and “the strength of democracy.”  

Yesterday another nationalist elected official, Marian Kotleba, was sentenced to four years in prison by the Slovak government for handing out checks for 1,488 Euros to poor families in 2017. State prosecutors accused Kotleba, who leads the politically ascendant People’s Party – Our Slovakia, of using 1488 as a secret code for “white power.”…If the Supreme Court upholds Kotleba’s conviction, he will be permanently banned from running for office and will be the first Slovak parliament member to be imprisoned since the fall of communism.

Of course, what is happening to Kotleba is outrageous and unjustified. However, I have to say that the 1488 stunt was stupidly reckless and juvenile. Why endanger your political progress for a childish stunt? Nationalist leaders need to understand how the deck is stacked against them and behave accordingly. As the Greek and Slovak cases make clear, the most dangerous time for a nationalist party is when they are making good progress, but are not yet in power. Their success alarms the establishment, which them moves against them, but at the same time the nationalists do not possess any institutional power to resist – they are powerful enough to be a danger and incite a reaction, but not powerful enough to protect themselves against vicious political persecution. It is while in this danger zone that prudent and mature nationalist politicians must be on their guard and do everything possible to prevent giving the System a pretext for action. The System may act anyway – and a supine population will accept it – but, still, why make it easy for them? All along the line, make things as difficult as possible for the enemy.  All along the line, do not make easily avoidable mistakes.

The leadership of the Spanish nationalist movement — Pedro Chaparro (National Democracy), Manuel Andrino (Spanish Falange), and Pedro Pablo Peña (National Alliance) — are exhausting their final appeal of a prison sentence handed down to them over counter-protesting left-wing Catalan separatists in 2013…Last year, Chaparro, Andrino, Peña and others began mending fractures in the large but deeply sectarian Spanish nationalist movement, putting aside differences to found the electoral bloc “ADN: Spanish Identity.”

It is good that these Spanish nationalists have put aside their differences – but, becoming a greater danger to the System will of course cause the System to double down on the persecution.

What to do?

In the cases where the party still exists, but only the leaders are jailed or forbidden to hold office, new leaders need to emerge, with the experienced leaders influencing the situation from behind the scenes (easier for those not jailed, but whatever can be done), with these new leaders carefully staying (if possible, the System never plays fair) within the bounds of discourse set by law, attempting to achieve whatever levels of influence and elected office possible, and leveraging that influence to overturn the politically-motivated persecution of the party and its leaders.

If the party is banned or falls apart, whatever nationalist core exists in that country (that are not in prison) need to organize a new nationalist party entity, and use that new entity to continue the struggle and push back against the persecution. One must be careful not to repeat mistakes (if any) of the old formation. I counsel taking extreme positions but presented with very calm and rational rhetoric. I am opposed to mainstreaming, but one must make a distinction between policy and rhetoric. We must be honest – the Far Right often has the habit of using bombastic and intemperate rhetoric, while the same views could have been expressed in a more “political” fashion.  Again – the ideology and policies should be radical, not the rhetoric – at least not under the present situation of a lack of freedom of expression. In other words, combine radical positions with more moderate rhetoric.

Of course, the new political entity will come under attack. Make it as difficult as possible for the System, don’t make any false moves that can give them ammunition to use against you. One must be flexible. Consider how Codreanu’s Legionary movement was banned, and then had to be relabeled under other banners – patriotic nationalist movements have always been targeted by the System and the Far Right needs to be protean in response to these attacks.

I’ll also sing the same song now that I’ve been singling for the past 20 years with respect to advice to European nationalists – the fight for free expression (and association) has to be a paramount, possibly THE paramount, part of their political platform. That’s more important than immigration or anything else – if you are going to be banned and jailed for opposing immigration them it stands to reason that opposition to immigration in the absence of political reform, re: free expression, is, by mathematical certainty, doomed to failure. I’ve been writing about this, as I’ve said, for two decades now, and am not going to repeat the details here.

As regards America, the situation is the same, albeit – at least for now – at a different level. We do not yet have elected officials being jailed for their political beliefs (that may change). Fundamentally though, the core foundation remains – freedom of association, freedom of expression, opposition to censorship (even censorship by “private” entities) – must be the cornerstone of a right-wing populist platform.  All other concerns and issues are meaningless if you are unable to publicly articulate your opinions on those issues and attempt influence the electorate.  We need The Political Opinion Protection Act.  See the posts here.

Getting back to my original post about electoral politics:

…but, political candidates can be persecuted.  Just look at Le Pen in France!   My response is that we have to act now, before things get to that point, leveraging the meager First Amendment protections we have left. Yes, if we do nothing now, eventually we’ll reach the point of Europe and well beyond - well beyond because social pricing is worse in the USA, so if we lose the remaining constitutional brakes to leftist tyranny, we will be in fact worse than Europe.  Again, that’s why it is imperative to get started now.  And, again, the American situation, culture, and traditions of free speech (never mind the legalistic constitutional protections) are quite different than in Europe.  What France can do with minimal blowback would result in a rather unpleasant reaction here, even among cowardly omega race White Americans.  We may eventually reach the level of France, and worse, but for now, it’s not the same.  The cost/benefit ratio for the American System is different from that of France.

American politicians who can be considered “right wing populists” need to take a stand against the social media giants; they need to take a principled stand for freedom of expression. All of the Right needs to rally around this issue. We need our own media, we need legal infrastructures, and we need ways to get around censorship and persecution. This needs to be priority number one. In America as well as Europe, freedom of expression (and of association) needs to be an integral part of the campaign, the ideology, and the political platform. Talking about free speech should not just be a throwaway line to make a point, but a central part of your whole political identity. No one is doing this in either America or in Europe.  Free speech is viewed as a peripheral issue, if it is mentioned at all. This needs to change.  It needs to change right now, immediately.

Will the System then go to the point at which advocating for freedom of expression is itself illegal?  If it gets to that point, and if the White Cuck Race does not rebel, then it deserves oblivion. At some point, being manifestly maladaptive in your behavior is going to have irreversible negative consequences. We are fairly close to that point already. I wonder if Europe has already reached that if major political figures are jailed solely for their political beliefs and the population does not react (or approves!).

There are still possibilities for electoral politics for our side. But we need to get serious and get highly organized, and we need deep analysis on how to deal with all of these issues.

On a side note, it is interesting that the wonderfully ethnocentric “Outer Hajnal’ Greeks are taking such an insanely hard line against nationalists, while the wonderfully high trust “Inner Hajnal” Swedes do not.  And then you have Slovakia and Spain. And then you have Salvini’s legal problems in Italy.  It’s almost as if HBD-Nordicism is absolute nonsense, but, hey, we just know that can’t be the case, right?
