Attacking Capitalism

What is Nationalism?

There is a post on Stormfront at the moment (NPD Show the Way: Anti-Capitalism) in which having an anti-Capitalist stance is defended by an FC activist.

What is shocking is the number of people out there - let's call them 'patriots' - who believe that we should defend Capitalism, or at best have some kind of 'national Capitalism' possibly with safeguards etc.

One gent said that taking an anti-Capitalist line would appear to voters as being Socialist or left-wing.

Obviously there are 101 comments that can be made and Ranting Ron himself could have a field day. But here are a few of the more choice points to be made:

1. Capitalism is wrong. It was bad for our people long before it dictated that mass coloured immigration was acceptable to keep wages down.

2. Opposition to Capitalism needn't mean Socialism. Socialism is a discredited stance and there is a nationalist opposition to Capitalism which doesn't believe in centralised government control of every facet of our lives.

3. "National" Capitalists' home is the Tory Party. Albeit that the Tory Party today is (like virtually everything else) internationalist, there is a wing of the Tories which favours "Keeping jobs in Britain" and having some kind of controls over the extremities of Capitalism (e.g. a Blairite "minimum wage").

4. Ignorance is no defence. If you, as a patriot, are unaware of non-Socialist opposition to Capitalism it does not negate those viewpoints; and if you are aware of them, then it is your duty to inform people ("voters" or not) of a nationalist alternative.

5. Distributism has been espoused by nationalists. From members of the BUF in the thirties, through the NF of the 80s to members of the BNP today. Many are aware of Distributism, e.g. in a recent BNP paper it said the Distributist Hilaire Belloc was one of their 'forebears.'

6. To fail to oppose Capitalism is wrong. Not only morally, economically or ideologically. It is wrong because you will fail to pick up support from radical elements who can be "won over," you will fail to give workers, mortgage-payers an answer to their 'shackles' and you will fail to give any vision of the future that any myriad of Capitalist or Socialist groups can - because anyone can "tinker with the works."

Capitalism was alien to our people when they were herded into factories, mines and sweatshops.

Capitalism was alien to our people when their lands were enclosed.

Capitalism was alien to our people when they were sent overseas as indentured slaves.

Capitalism has bled countless generations of our people to death, has forced them to live in slums, has forced them to be taxed to death, forced them to work in monotonous meaningless jobs, mortgaged them to the hilt...

Capitalism bred the non-answer Socialism through its maltreatment of people. Of course then we get into the whole conspiratorial view of history - with bankers funding Bolshevist revolutionaries etc. etc.

Capitalism was wrong long before the British government was forced to pass the Poor Act.

Capitalism was wrong long before the profiteers of the Napoleonic Wars.

Capitalism was wrong long before the advent of mass coloured immigration.

I recall a radio phone in with an activist with Oldham NF in the mid 1980s on Manchester's Piccadilly Radio. On that programme he attacked Capitalism and outlined the nationalist alternative.

One thing he said caught my imagination back then as a young activist and has remained with me ever since.

He said (to paraphrase) that if we got rid of all the coloured immigrants tomorrow, we'd still have White dole queues.

Nationalism is all about love of people, land and all that is good.

Capitalism is all about love of money, profits and anything that will deliver either.

A Nationalist cannot have two masters.
