All too often the empty vessels make the most noise.
We've all "heard" them, especially on the internet. People with no sense of ideology, people more interested in party politics than ideals, people with 5 minutes worth of experience demanding to be listened to, and people who should know better but end up as know-nothings.
Nationalists must be aware of their past. This is more important in a sense than being aware of current events and geo-politics.
Why?
Because without a firm grasp of our history, and the threads that have been woven together to create nationalism, we cannot frame events -- and with no frame in which to place events, or to put it crudely no nationalist filter to block out all the horse crap, then like so many others on the net we'll be making meaningless noise, or worse - play into the hands of our enemies.
Nationalists must understand and study the past, just as we must understand ideology before we try to implement change, if we are to avoid chaos and treachery.
Books like Yesterday & Tomorrow are an excellent starting place, because this book in particular gives a broad sweep of nationalist thought on various matters and from various countries - all coming together to give a pan-European ideal its grounding.
If you are starting out in nationalism, or if you want to know more and educate yourself about nationalism - you can't go far wrong with this book!
Go get Yesterday & Tomorrow - today!
