REALPOLITIK: THE MISSING INGREDIENT

 

The First Part of 'The Statecraft Series'

 

 

This article represents the inaugural post in a series that will be tasked with elucidating the need for new Aryan separatist nation-states and the ways in which the task - a momentous one - will be required to be approached in order to ensure a concrete understanding among Nationalsocialists who in the future will devote themselves to such a task.  In Britain, the time for this has not yet arrived.

 

As 'The Statecraft Series', these articles will be essentially be a 'beginner's' series.  It is expected the genuinely curious reader will have a personal curriculum of his own that will act as the core of his learning.  'The Statecraft Series', and other articles like it, ought to be either 'launch-pads' or supplements.

 

The articles will be relevant to American, British and other European readers.  With regard to the North American situation, some of what shall be written in the Statecraft Series will have been already touched upon in the writings of Harold A Covington, who in the last 18-19 years of his life committed himself absolutely to unavoidable truth of the Northwest Imperative for the Aryan people of North America.  But this is all to the good, since great observations, understandings and statements are always worth repeating. 

 

Realpolitik is defined as an approach of clear pragmatism and realism in addressing political issues, minus the dreamy haze of ideological fantasy and at the expense of a primacy of ideological influence in the decision-making processes.

 

The term was allegedly coined by a German political journalist by the name of Ludwig von Rochau.  He was fundamentally a Liberal by political stripe, but of course, in the early-mid 19th century, Liberalism was not quite the zombie that it is today.  The brilliant Heinrich von Treitschke, whom by the standards of today would be considered a rabid proto-Fascist was a member of the same National Liberal Party as von Rochau.  In point of fact, in an example of Realpolitik as applied to what he (correctly) perceived as a coming rassenkrieg - several decades before Lothrop Stoddard, von Treitschke stated, "In the unhappy clash between races, inspired by fierce mutual enmity, the blood-stained savagery of quick war of annihilation is more humane, less revolting, than the specious clemency of sloth which keeps the vanquished in a state of brute beasts."

 

It is widely accepted that the concept of Realpolitik is one that can be applied to all ages of political philosophy and theories of statecraft.

When we look at it coldly, there's no doubt that this has been a key missing ingredient of the various 'third position' movements.  The only current exceptions in the English speaking nations are the Northwest Front and the other organisations working for the same goal.  Other 'movements' have been stricken with an almost glue-like residue of infantile sentimentality and crude romanticism that has completely devalued their own ability to accurately develop any relevant cognizance of both regional and global situations.  In some cases, this lack of ruthless Realpolitik has been apparent in a shameful inability o recognise even the most obvious causes of stasis in the development of the so-called revolutionary movement, even - in the case of both North America and Britain - to the extent of not being able to understand the gravity of the occupation of anywhere from 25-60% of people of foreign race in a place and what obvious conclusions this ought to bring to mind.  Even in Sir Oswald Mosley's post-war Union movement, it was not understood the extent to which the Union Movement platform was rendered utterly insolvent by the conclusion of the Second World War. As late as 1958, Mosley and his supporters voiced astonishment at the brutal ballot-fraud conducted in South Kensington to prevent any kind of in-roads being made by the former British Union of Fascists & Nationalsocialists, and even in the 1960s the Union Movement seemed prostrate in the face of the brainwashing of most of the nation by way of the new phenomenon of household television. 

 

Not quite the 'funny papers'.

 

Is this seriously what we want to leave to our children and grandchildren?

 

Of course, the value of hindsight is inestimable and perhaps I am being rather harsh on Sir Oswald and his followers (though I've never understood why he thought it acceptable for a Germano-celtic nation to adopt the Latin doctrine of Fascism rather than the Nordic Nationalsocialism, but that's a story for another day).

 

Realpolitik provides a flat, even surface upon which relevant issues can be looked at cleanly and dealt with clinically, at least to whatever extent is possible with the resources and/or opportunities available.  As one might expect, decisiveness, forthrightness, a thorough knowledge of all relevant factors, along with an accurate interpretation of the situation to be dealt with are all imperative prerequisites to attending to said situation in the manner of Realpolitik. In the age in which we are currently living, these traits (being inherently masculine) are exceedingly rare.  The obvious conclusion is that those who are in a position where the Realpolitiker should operate, are simply devoid of these traits.

 

One tends to find that those who suffer from a debilitating lack of Realpolitik have a number of things counting against them, individually and collectively:

 

1. Lack of historical knowledge and understanding

2. Lack of understanding of people and it's variability

3. Degeneracy, including effeminacy, low intelligence and bourgeoisie cowardice

4. Character defects, including inflated self-pride and lack of discipline

 

For those 'movers & shakers' in a revolutionary movement, those who dictate the programme and set the stratagem, a firm understanding of relevant history is as necessary as an axel is to a moving vehicle, and if knowledge and understanding of the relevant history is the axel, then an understanding of the phenomenon of people - their needs and desires (in relation to Natural Law), their behaviours and triggers of various behaviours, the nature of their individuality, the nature of their relations to one another, the role of the family, the biological realities, etc - is the engine.  It is my opinion that any ideology that is moulded without the aforementioned ingredients at the heart, is going to be utterly shambolic and will require frequent deviations from it's principles when put into practice, and in fact the results may end up deadly, as we shall learn. 

 

It's a tragic fact that traits of both inherent and acquired degeneracy are rife in the world today.  The race that once entirely befitted the appellation of Aryan has fallen to such a level of decrepitude that large portions of it are no better than bleached Negroes and others are so Judaized in their behaviour that they may as well have Tay-Sachs disease and complete the transmutation, for the differences appear minimal to those of us with a residue of Old-World psyche. 

 

Nevertheless, it is not the hoi polloi who are called upon by the Gods of history to carve their names into the Eternal Stone.  It is always and absolutely invariably the exceptional minority who decide which direction the Stone Rolls (or, whether it rolls at all).  The huge majority of the 'Working Class' portion of 21st century white people are so debased and damaged that they have not the facility to bring up their children to be decent citizens in the world of chaos; that being the case, we simply cannot expect such people to arise to prominence in a revolutionary movement of world-shaping importance now, can we?  Naturally, there are exceptions to the rule.  There is widespread debasement among all classes of our people, and at the highest levels this debasement, in it's outward appearance, becomes something almost suicidal. 

 

We have leaders in our respective - certainly not respectable - nations who find it acceptable to allow the proliferation of severe mental defectives, the invitation of hundreds of thousands of creatures of thoroughly unassimilable foreign race, the scourge of destructive drugs among a naïve populace, the obliteration of large tracts of our natural environment, the evil of automation and the outsourcing of all our manufacturing jobs, both bringing large-scale unemployment and with it the life of destitution, relative poverty and all sorts of forms of community disorder that follow.  We allow women to be given a fast-track to position - of leadership -  that they are entirely unsuited to, and in fact, only just outdo the highly feminised and effeminate males in the leadership incompetence and mediocrity stakes.  It should be noted that many of the leaders of European governments are women, most of them childless, which makes them 24 karat failures in the journey of life. 

 

A selection of diseased women in positions of power their 'abilities' don't merit.. 

They were never disciplined. Not by their parents, nor men. Fu-uck.

So should we be surprised when the rule of our governments is shockingly devoid of any discernable Realpolitik?  But, as debased as our race is, most of our eternal instincts and primal desires remain, underneath the thick pile carpet of post-Industrial soul-destruction and civilizational advanced-stage decay.

 

The vast, vast majority of the decisions made by our 'voted for' (you've got to be kidding me!) overlords (excepting Oberjuden, who act from both visceral instinct and conscious design) are enacting legislation that are based not on Realpolitik, but on whatever trend, or whatever addiction (Mammon, for the most part) they have on the brain at any given time.  When we have such emotionally unstable, easily swayed individuals at the wheel, we can't be surprised when we learn that they are merely the agents of a coterie of more serious individuals that he public rarely get to catch a glimpse of.  These individuals are acting according to their own Realpolitik, but needless to say, since it is relative to their own drives, which are in themselves completely incompatible with the wellbeing and health of the great mass of people 'underneath' them, such 'Realpolitik' is really a veneer when we ponder the wider reality of racial destiny and have an understanding of life that goes beyond that found in the books of Dawkins or Hawking some other such Priest of Materialism.

 

The Realpolitiker cannot realistically operate as a stereotypical civil servant / bureaucrat, simply like a cog in the machine, needing oiled once in a while.  Someone has to put that cog there, someone has to determine the direction it turns and the speed in which it performs it's revolutions.  The bureaucrat carries out tasks on behalf of an existing plan, which is based on some view of reality, or a given situation. 

 

 

Shock Realpolitik

 

Oftentimes Realpolitik comes out of the most unexpected dusty cupboards.

 

For all the ideological bulk of Marxism-Leninism (Communism), Lenin (in particular) and Stalin, and especially the post-Stalin leaders of the USSR, all drew their sword from the sheath of Realpolitik when the gauntlet was thrown at their feet.  This of course, revealed some severe contradictions between the spoken intentions of Communist states and the reality of practice, but when one becomes acquainted with the ideology of Marxism-Leninism it's perfectly obvious that any attempt to roll out such a system in the real world - as opposed to the fantasy - would inevitably result in these contradiction, which would in turn reveal the inhumanity of the Marxist-Leninist dream (perhaps nightmare would be more appropriate). 

 

Possessing a pure ideology is - in my opinion - almost the complete opposite of being  purely ideological.  A pure ideology is one which incorporates all the necessary realities that make the ideology something concrete and subservient to the needs of the population meant to be guided by the ideology.  For this to be the case, a qualifying 'pure' ideology will be fathered by men who have a visceral understanding of that population, and not merely a segment of it.  Karl Marx, for all his tongue-twisting economic theory, had an almost clinically retarded awareness of human needs and what is desirable for a fulfilling life for a people, especially the European people, whom he initially intended his perverted ideology to direct. 

 

One should expect a correlation between the concept of Realpolitik and the unwavering Laws of Nature, laws that admittedly are only valid to us so long as we have interpreted them with accuracy.  Of course, throughout post-Enlightenment Europe, Realpolitik hasn't necessarily gone hand-in-hand with the diktat of Mother Nature. 

 

It may be wisely  considered an aspect of the true statesman's art that he is able to delicately balance the act of Realpolitik in the general service of efficient statecraft with a visceral and sincere consideration for the wellbeing of the people of the nation (the volksgemeinschaft).  Even Otto von Bismarck, contemporary of both von Treitschke and von Rochau, considered one of the standard-bearers of modern Realpolitik, did not always manage to achieve this equilibrium.

 

Count Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)

 

On the face of it there may appear to be a conflict between ideology and Realpolitik.  But this ought not to be the case.  A perfect marriage of a pure ideology with Realpolitik is the forging of a weapon that cuts down all on-comers.  Ideology is the sum of learning and experience*.  Realpolitik is a tool to open the faucet (rusted, in our case) of change.

 

 

Place of Morality / Ethics

 

Some may bemoan it, but I will use the terms morality and ethics interchangeably since in the foregoing, I shall mainly be referring to the collective rather than the individual.  It should be obvious.

 

The Realpolitiker acknowledges that Morality is not a relative term.  It exists as an immovable collective character trait of the entire race, and the Nationalsocialist Realpolitiker has the courage in this age of reality-denial to affirm and reaffirm stoutly the fact that collective character traits are specific to each race, and in some regards, to each ethnicity (sub-race).  The Realpolitiker must be consumed with the morality of his race.  He must feel it to the very depths of his being.  Remember, we do not consider 'regular' people to be the leader of nations, here.  We are speaking of the exceptional man, who merits his position as a national leader, who truly can feel the collective soul of his race pulsating through his own veins.  This type of man can use Realpolitik in much the same way an expert carpenter uses a chisel or a plane.  It is a tool to be pulled out of the bag when the situation requires it, but in the pure ideology, there is room for it. 

 

A rigid ideology based on crude knee-jerk emotionalism such as the 'social' policy that has our modern politicians, the agents of big business and international finance in a sort of zombie-like trance cannot incorporate Realpolitik without compromising on it's own pillars, which, in a grievous enough situation, could bring the entire structure down.  This makes for some interesting thinking.

 

Hmmmm. 1921?  Or 2018?

 

Is Might Always Right?

 

'Might Is Right' normally refers to a position along the lines of, "the strong must always prevail".  It's a commonly heard phrase among the Right-wing and occasionally some apparent Nationalsocialists.  And while the weaker elements ought not to be permitted to restrain the stronger, it has to be clarified what is meant here, and in a societal frame of reference, where the variables are that on the one hand make the aforementioned trope applicable, and on the other make it irrelevant. 

 

And mighty Mjölnir was struck with the lightening of Realpolitik.  Said no one. 

 

If healthy women and children are considered 'weaker' than strong men, should the former be allowed to prevail over the latter?  Of course! This is an example what Plato called the Golden Age men (the noble and the decent) absolutely insisted one, since they understood man's place as protector of the future of the race, even at the possible expense of his own life.  This is an example of a healthy natural law, a law that is rooted in our deepest racial instinct, taking precedence over any other consideration, and this is a an important function, since it is one which actively promotes the continued survival of the race.  As the Sturmabteilung used to say, "Treat the lowest street-sweeper of your own race with greater regard than the king of any foreign race."   Realpolitik does not come into it at all. 

 

However, in a modern incarnation of a healthy civilization, we ought not to prevent our strong - that is to say, capable - men from rising to the positions that their inherent ability merits them, for the continued successful functioning of both state and civilization require their free ascendancy.  Any state policy that activates such an upward movement of the finest elements of the nation's men, represents a perfect marriage of ideology and Realpolitik.  The adulation of our race and advancement of our civilization is a core tenet of our ideology and the internal structure that provides the rails on which this can occur is based on a series of formulated 'Realpolitik' policies.  The pragmatism in allowing the best to rise to the positions of leadership is both obvious and far-sighted.

 

 

A Necessary Ingredient

 

No movement today can feasibly embark on an upward trajectory without an understanding of the necessity of Realpolitik in their interpretations of current conditions, including the limitations and capabilities of the movement, and the expectations of the movement's various resources. 

 

The Contract between the rulers and the ruled has to be formulated and established.  In this area, there is no doubt that Realpolitik will play a role.  The setting of the Contract between a new revolutionary government and the mass of people will be worth it's weight in stardust once established.  Make sure you understand me correctly: I refer here not to the (at this stage in time) dreamy notion of one of our groups actually attaining something close to rule over a substantial region, but to the operation of the movement in it's early phases. 

 

Of course, understanding of and adherence to Natural Law as defined earlier in this article will help ensure that any ideological Contract, offered with the application of Realpolitik is built-to-last, and will certainly bring about a contribution towards lasting peace, prosperity, industriousness, and collective health and spiritual fulfilment when the new Golden Age finally begins.  But an honest and realistic appraisal of all current situations is absolutely imperative to give a movement some hope of moving in an upward trajectory.  Anyone who prefers to throw themselves under the rug whenever the actualities of demographics, economic necessity and correct conduct come on to the radar is a coward.  The best thing these people can do is step back and dissociate themselves from any movement, since, as it goes, "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." 

 

The dictum, "if  you build it, they will come" is not based on Realpolitik.  It may well apply to Cinemas and Circuses, but to the awfully discomforting necessity of racially-charged revolution, the opposite - if anything - applies.  Realpolitik as a tool to wrench some form of political power from the established one will only bring even hints of success if it, and the other tenets of successful operation of a movement, is fed by the sustaining nourishment of HARD WORK, especially in partnership with discipline, courage and raw intelligence.

 

On the important issue of beginning the transition from an 'organism' into a bona fide organisation, I refer the reader to the 'Revolutionary Tripod' as outlined in 'Dreaming The Iron Dream, pg201, by Harold A. Covington, available HERE (usa) and HERE (Brit).

 

Readers who take the issue of the formation of new nation-states exclusively for the habitation of Aryan people, will be required to develop some form of rudimentary knowledge on statecraft, in it's theory (based on historical practice) and statecraft as it exists today.  The future nation-state cannot simply be built on any of the already existing structures, in the hope that they just fade away, no matter how diseased they are.  In the areas new nation-states are to be established, the previously existing structures will have to be treated in the same manner as ancient Carthage.  Obliterated.
