The Mafia Model?

Thoughts.

It may be blasphemy for the Nordicist "movement," but there may be some lessons to be learned from the Italian-American mafia with respect to the "movement."

Some points:

1. Male only.

2. Whatever the criteria for membership, make it clear, and then stick with it. If you have to have Italian ancestry, then fine - but then don't turn around and say, "hey, Guido, your family is from Calabria and we have suddenly decided that Calabrians are not acceptable Italians for Cosa Nostra." 

Thus, choose an ingroup from the start, and stick with it. That is unlike Der Movement, in which fetishists are always questioning the "Whiteness" of certain Europeans, including people who are long-term pro-White activists. 

Set the membership criteria from the beginning and then respect that - do not retroactively redefine membership after the fact.

3. "Made men" are "straightened out" only after proving themselves over time (real vetting) and once they are "made" they are protected within the group (unless they themselves violate the rules) and are treated with respect. 

4. Following up on point three, there are rules to follow in the group, which are part of the "tradition" and are crucial for group survival.

5. Omerta is the opposite of being "in bed with the press."  At its peak, the mafia took the issue of informants and infiltrators seriously - no need to get into that now here, but the reader is aware of the history there, and how the mafia has declined as this issue, and the "rules," have been compromised (in part due to negative trends as discussed below).

Of course, the decline in the modern mafia reflects problems and issues that should be avoided. There are negative lessons as well as positive. Note well that the mafia declined paralleling increasing Italian-American assimilation, so that competent people began going to work for the System rather than the mafia (imagine Scalia as a mafia boss).  That underscores the need for quality people. RICO laws need to be considered, and underscores the need for influence over the System to protect your organization, to deflect the power of the State. But with all of that, at this point, any significant improvement over the current failed "movement" would be helpful.
