Is National-Anarchism An Oxymoron? - National-Anarchism in a Nutshell
By: J. Bates
National-Anarchism in a Nutshell is meant to act as a primer
for those who are unfamiliar with National-Anarchism, anarchism in general and
for those who might already be knowledgeable on anarchist philosophy but feel
that there is just something else missing from the wide array of
compartmentalized anarchisms out there. This small work is in no way meant as a
substitute for the National-Anarchist Manifesto available on the
National-Anarchist Movement’s web site. It is my sincere hope that after
reading this the reader will find interest in delving into the details of
National-Anarchism available in the manifesto.
National-Anarchism is Not an Oxymoron
There has been much debate on the nomenclature used in
describing an anarchist philosophy that, while maintaining deep anarchist
roots, also embraces racial preservation and rejects all forms of the Marxist
cancer that has infested the anarchist movement since its misappropriation in
the early 20th century. The most common argument the Establishment uses to
try and disparage National-Anarchism originates from ignorance on their part of
the origin, and thereby the true definition, of the term National.
The term nation, and thus national, has
devolved into a watered-down, re-branded catch-all expression which is defined
today as a collection of states or territories in which various ethnicities of
people live and work. This modern definition completely disregards the original
meaning of the term. In fact, the term nation comes to us from
the Latin root word natio meaning “that which has been born”, or
“race of people”. Consequently, the term national is defined as “of
or relating to the race”. As such, the prefix National works
perfectly to describe a type of anarchism that serves a people with a common
ethnicity. This point alone vindicates National-Anarchism’s choice terminology
to describe the movement as well as part of its purpose. Nevertheless, those
who disagree with the movement’s recognition of race as a vital factor for its
existence will argue against it using the modernized definition of nation and
thus categorize National-Anarchism as a right-wing attempt at appropriating the
left’s Marxist-based flavor of anarchism to promote racism. This naturally
brings about a common ad hominem attack, almost exclusively from the
left, in that because we as National-Anarchists recognize race and wish to
preserve it, we are not true anarchists. This is sheer hypocrisy on the part of
egalitarian anarchists.
The term racism is another word used by the left
to stigmatize and decry the efforts of racialists to preserve their own by
twisting its meaning (a common tactic by the left to further their own agenda
and add weight to their arguments). The left’s definition of racism is
essentially the hatred of all other human races by a single race due to said
race’s belief that theirs is superior to all others. This is completely without
merit and could not be further from the truth. If we are to use the term then
true “racists” are those who are simply concerned with the preservation of
their own kind, not the hatred, destruction or repression of others. Nothing is
more wasteful of valuable time and energy than blind hatred and violence. This
energy is best spent in the preservation of one’s own and not the antagonism of
others.
A simple example of the left’s lunacy on this matter would
be if I were to say that I prefer Fuji Apples over other types of apples. By
the Marxist-Left’s logic I would then be deemed a “Fujist”, but not only that,
it would also be assumed that I must also hate all other apples. Does my
preference for Fuji apples mean that I hate Red Delicious apples? Certainly
not! It simply means that I prefer the taste of Fuji apples more than I do
other varieties of apples. What sort of inferiority complex would discern that
my preference for Fuji apples means that I must hate other apples? The same
question can be asked of those who would say that because I prefer to
associate, cohabitate, work, and procreate with my own kind, I must have a
deeply rooted hatred for all that is not of my kind. This is illogical, absurd
and demonstrates an extreme lack of reasoning and intelligence in those who
would follow such thought.
National-Anarchist philosophy, then, is not the oxymoronic
amalgamation of right and left wing political ideologies but a harkening to the
original and true meaning of nation combined with a desire to
preserve the natural races of man and the aspiration to free all people from the
chains of both left and right-wing totalitarianism and imperialism.
Racial-Separatism and National-Anarchism
National-Anarchism attenuates to, and supports, the
individuality genetically inherent in man and fights to unfetter him from the
bonds of debt-slavery and state-worship forced upon him at birth by the
Establishment. National-Anarchism rejects all forms of totalitarianism and goes
a step further in recognizing multiculturalism as yet another transfigured form
of it, and rejecting it as an anti-nature despotism. National-Anarchism
consequently lives and breathes by the immortal words of Bakunin in that man obeys
natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because
they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever,
divine or human, collective or individual.
It only follows, then, that National-Anarchism supports and
defends the right of all races to preserve their blood, the very essence of
that which defines them. The races of man exist for a reason, some of which are
beyond our comprehension. Nature found utility in the formation of the various
races of the earth. Each race upon the earth has its own unique culture that is
born not just of its environment, but of its genetic makeup. If this genetic
makeup is adulterated or annihilated then we are destined toward an inevitable
bland mono-culture devoid of a history and any unique qualities all its own.
Egalitarianism is a false philosophy, Nietzsche’s ‘end of justice’. It has
reared its head in every generation since man became aware of its malevolence.
It is the cry of the embittered underman who has refused to recognize his place
in the world and yearns to destroy that which he can never achieve to. Marxist
political-correctness and multiculturalism combined form his battering ram
which he uses to tear down the doors of natural aristocracy* in order to rape
it of the vital seed that distinguishes it. National-Anarchism rejects this
forced abdication of racial solidarity as another form of tyranny.
National-Anarchism in Summary
National-Anarchism is a form of anarchism that embraces the
very foundations of anarchism as penned in ink and blood by its earliest
forebears, one that is against the state, be it a hyper-Capitalist Plutocracy
or a Socialist/Communist Mediocracy, as well as against all tyranny in whatever
form it may disguise itself including that of the Marxist anarchists. Unlike
most other hyphenated anarchisms, National-Anarchism does not cling to the
expression “Against All Authority” as it can be too easily misconstrued by
those who do not yet understand the basic tenets of anarchism thereby causing
them to believe that this slogan encompasses all forms of anarchism. In the
minds of those unfamiliar with anarchist philosophy this phrase conjures images
of masked youth wildly pitching Molotov cocktails, setting fires, breaking
windows, destroying businesses and participating in other violent behavior for
no other reason than a bizarre love of utter chaos. This is, however, what the
Establishment would like you to believe so that you will find solace in the
“protection” of the state. To further this point, any modern dictionary will
define anarchism as lawlessness, chaos, mayhem and disorder. This is not
anarchism’s true definition and is even further from the foundational
standpoint of National-Anarchism. Simply put, National-Anarchism recognizes
authority, but not that which would establish rule over others and so we remain
ever vigilant of social conditions that might produce an avenue for those who
would establish a ruling class. This, contrary to belief, actually creates
order from the fanatical chaos that is the state. Those anarchists that
do not subscribe to the “Against All Authority” mantra believe that authority
(without rule) is a natural manifestation of order in any society. In matters
of authority, the anarchist world-view can be summed up in the combined words
of our anarchist forefathers.
“Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the
thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker.”
-Bakunin
But that…
“He who lays his hand on me to govern me is a usurper and a
tyrant, and I declare him my enemy.” – Proudhon
Anarchism is often misunderstood to mean ‘without order’
when it in fact means ‘without rulers’. This is paramount to the understanding
of any form of anarchism. If one understands this from the outset, then further
study into anarchist philosophy makes far more sense.

*The term natural aristocracy refers the natural
distinctions formed amongst a group of people due to work, capability and
intelligence rather than by birth, class, and privilege.
