Oxymoron and Utopia are Capitalist

WE often have to endure the destructive
comments from skeptics who describe us, the National Anarchists, as
well as our movement in general, as an "oxymoron,"
including our intentions, rationale and objectives as a form of
Anarchist "utopia". Before going ahead with this article, I
must cite and quote something which corresponds to the official
definition. Firstly, in relation to oxymoron:
"The oxymoron (the Greek ὀξύμωρον,
oxymoron, Latin contradiction in terms) within literary figures in
rhetoric, is a logical idea that uses two concepts of an opposite
meaning in one expression, generating a third concept. Given that the
literal meaning is the opposite of an oxymoron, 'absurd' (eg 'an
eternal moment "), this forces the reader or listener to
understand the metaphorical sense (in this case: a moment that, by
the intensity of a lived experience, makes you lose track of time)."
We can also generally use oxymoron to
relate to something "impossible" or "a miracle."
Secondly, regarding Utopia: "The
utopian concept refers to the representation of an ideal or ironic
world that is presented as an alternative to the actual existing
world, through a critique of it."
To our critics, we must reply that both
oxymoron and utopia represent the system and capitalist society in
which they live, think and act, as well as the yearning to grow and
"develop" as individuals, but in which the condition of
individual release is null and rather function as human beings that
are subjugated to the interests of the State and all of its relevant
and unfolded structure (political, police, judicial, bureaucratic,
ecclesiastical, business ...)
National-Anarchism is not an oxymoron,
quite the contrary. The oxymoron is the belief that you can
infinitely, plunder, pillage, plunder and exhaust all resources
offered by Mother Earth, putting a price tag on our forests, oceans,
flora, fauna and the thousands of species that co-habit this planet
called Earth, but in which human beings, educated under a capitalism
that sustains our respective states, we "erect" lords and
masters and so we act and proceed as their respective colonisers,
exploiters, looters and predators. oxymoron is defiling and
despoiling our ancestral identity and our customs and traditions in
favour of a globalised, amorphous, grey world, which in the name of
"progress", erases the traces and signs of the identities
of All Nations and which truly make up the wealth of this planet we
inhabit.
Utopia is the belief that you can
infinitely gorge on capitalism and believe yourself free in a society
in which you are really a slave to its dictates and absurd fashions,
its drugs, alcohol, junk food, film, political-parliamentary system
and belief in the change or achievement of "welfare"
through the system-trap of the ballot box and supposedly selecting
mutually independent political candidates, although they are really
nothing more than sides A, B and C of the same face, the same
electoral structure of the same repressive state.
Oxymoron is the absurd and utopian
ideology of ultimate "citizenism" or "citizenist"...
an ideology which has a devotee voter and obedient servant, a
submissive slave who is happy and peaceful, a state that oppresses
its parliamentary political system, an indoctrinated believer of the
various media and political parties of the state which meet their
vested interests and which does not exceed the mere creation of
"approved" schools of thought within the system, and
remains confined to the internal area of that which is permitted and
the rules established by the state; the state has its police and
judicial apparatus to ensure that this is appropriate.
Returning to the oxymoron, this is
perfectly reflected in the "mirror" of Detroit (and in the
wild "crisis" shaking much of the West in general), which,
until recently, was the birthplace of the automotive industry and
where Henry Ford could build his first automobile in 1904 ... And
now, in 2015, Detroit has succumbed to the crisis and wild lies and
finds itself dying of a "capitalist overdose", where
vegetation flourishes from the ruins of hundreds of mansions and
factories long past their "golden years".
We, the National-Anarchists, warn that
the earth can no longer withstand the blows of the capitalist cancer
and that capitalism itself is now entering a phase of collapse (as is
evidenced by the case of Detroit) and when this process of collapse
is complete, only those who are rooted to the land can survive, by
cultivating the soil, living in rural areas, having an awareness of
belonging to the land and not vice versa... The "withdrawal
time" is crucial; a progressive abandonment of the great
capitalist cities, this corrupt and degrading modern world where
technology advances unabated and humans are becoming less human and
more "robotic", with dependent keyboard-addicts with their
screens and virtual conversations who completely lose the artistic,
creative ability. A true independence of humanity will be attained
through the return of the people, a respect of that which we
inherited from our ancestors, with the collectivisation of land and
various resources, integration and respect for nature, and the
establishment of all individuals in human communities, following
common factors of an ethnic, cultural, linguistic and spiritual
character. In these times of usury, we must raise the revolutionary
flag of the N-AM and initiate the revolt against the modern world
from our neighbourhoods, towns, lands and mountains; let the
indispensable and fundamental work of proselytism and activist
agitation, dissemination of our mottos and ideals, become manifest
until the final advance is unstoppable in the struggle for human,
animal and earth liberation.
