The Left Triumphant: the Power of Myth

Leftist violence and victory everywhere. Rightist surrender and defeat everywhere as well. In all cases, emphasis added.

I’ll make the key point at the end, so be patient.

See this – yet, it is the Right labeled as “violent and intolerant.”  Laughably, the victim here has been under investigation for “hate speech.” The key to this of all is that the Left, Center, and Mainstream Right are all part of the same System, protecting and boosting each other (more that the Center and Mainstream Right support the Left rather than the reverse, but, then again, look at the outpouring of Leftist grief over the death of “conservative” McCain).  It is only the “Far Right” – which I suppose includes the more extreme civic nationalists (even though they probably should not be included, but I’m being descriptive here, rather than prescriptive) – who are anathema.

Here’s a “cheerful” thought: Just like the buffoonery and mistakes of Hitler helped discredit and delegitimize fascist politics for decades thereafter, lasting to this day – even tainting those only moderately to the “Far Right” – so may the buffoonery of Trump discredit and delegitimize plain old right-wing populism.  If you gamble all on an idiot, you may lose all – “shoot your bolt” so to speak.  And you become anathema.

Laugh at this:

But there are also drawbacks.  It can attract the attention of fash/the authorities.  

Oh boy!  You may attract the attention of “the authorities!”  Think of all the nasty things “the authorities” would do to an “Antifa school group” – you know, like giving lavish praise and unending support, funding it with government money, funding from major corporations, publicly spoken of with kind words by politicians and celebrities, and maybe a speech or two by a glowing Antifa Jeff Sessions, pledging all the resources of the Justice Department to give assistance.  It’s hilarious that these sucker-punching soyboys believe – or pretend to believe – that somehow the same “authorities” that support them every step of the way are “against” them.  Err…Antifa are the authorities.

But, as we shall see with the key point discussed below, this myth serves the Left well.  We may shake our heads sadly over running dogs for the Establishment believing they oppose the very System that they serve as a loyal cog in the machine.  But life is irrational (as Yockey was fond of telling us), myths have power if they are believed, regardless of how objectively ludicrous they are. [But there are limits to this – “movement” myths are so abjectly ludicrous, so based on empty fallacies and on wishful thinking, that they end up disillusioning rather than inspiring.  One reason perhaps is that “movement” myths pretend to be objective fact rather than as motivating ideology, and as such are easily debunked. Yockey is inspiring; ethnic fetishism masquerading as “fact” is not].

And, oh, beware the “fash” – who may interfere with your “student group” by getting elbowed in the face, hit over the head with a bike lock, pepper-sprayed, threatened (with impunity) with a home-made flamethrower, sucker-punched, shouted down, deplatformed by the same companies that give you a platform with no questions asked, “Proud Boys” running out of a LA bar, told by their fathers to “get out of my room,” hold rallies where no supporters show up, have their “God Emperor” sign legislation dedicating the resources of the federal government to combat them (and not you), or being hit with “hate crimes” indictments by an Antifa-supporting Attorney General who looks like a retarded Dumbo-eared Howdy Doody puppet.  A threat, no doubt!  Drawbacks!  Drawbacks!

We all also notice that the definition of “fash” is specifically White, and excludes Colored racial nationalists, such as the Nation of Islam or the New Black Panther Party.  There are three reasons for this, I suppose.  First, the mantra “anti-racism is another word for anti-White” is clearly true, the main motivation is not hostility toward racism, but simple hostility to Whites as a race.  Second, the System doesn’t appear to really believe that non-White racial nationalist groups are a threat to its survival, so there is no reason to get their private security forces involved with opposing such groups. Third, and of equal importance, the specifically White definition of the “fash” enemy is a convenient way to avoid getting a big Black fist in the face.  The very idea of any of these types confronting Black nationalists is ludicrous; a single bow-tied Negro would have the entire bunch of them running for cover.  White activists, the whole Charlottesville Ragnarok crowd, should reflect on why their presence has the exact opposite effect.

Back to Brazil.

Lt. Col. Marco Rodrigues of the Minas Gerais state police told reporters that de Oliveira, who was once affiliated with a leftist party, said he acted because he disagreed with Bolsonaro

The leftist mantra: disagree with someone?  Explode with violence.

Flavio Bolsonaro rejected the idea that his father incited the attack…

Hey!  He’s on the Right.  That by itself is an incitement to violence, no?

…saying the candidate was engaged in a campaign of ideas. He said the mainstream media bear some responsibility, accusing them of portraying his father as a “monster.”

Sound familiar?  And yet the media claim that they are the ones under “attack.”

Video clip.

The Right: constantly losing, constantly under attack, constantly hapless and pathetic.

So, let’s tackle the key point now. Why is it that the Left is able to motivate, to generate fervor and sacrifice, to have people constantly pushing toward a goal, to induce fanatical commitment and a fanatical intolerance for dissenting viewpoints?  Why is everything for the Left an existential struggle, while for the Right it is merely a hobby?  Which leads us to the converse: Why is the Right unable to motivate for self-sacrifice, unable to generate fervor and fanatical dedication, why does the Right manifest itself in listlessness and inertia, with passive acceptance of defeat?  Why does the Right think it a great “victory” if it can get folks to go to vote every few years so as to elect some fraud, at which time the Right declares “victory,” goes home, and lets the Left, with its unswerving dedication, keep on moving ahead to real victories?

The Left, you see, has myths, ideological foundations, that inspire.  The Left’s fundamental basis has always been on revolutionary change, on some utopian future that breaks with the past; often anti-religious, the Left’s ideology becomes a secular religion, and so taps into evolved human tendencies leading to fanatical commitment and self-sacrifice. It doesn’t matter if, objectively speaking, the Left is the spoiled child of Big Business, “deep state” political actors, and self-interested (and powerful) middleman minorities.  They perceive themselves as heroic figures smashing a dead past to make way for a glorious future; the whole Leftist worldview is based on the underlying assumption of revolutionary dynamism and militant fervor.

The Right on the other hand has a fundamental basis centered on “tradition,” a reactionary look to some past era, conservative bourgeoisie values, a defensive attempt to “stand athwart history,” and a misplaced emphasis on traditional religion which sucks up whatever “bigger-than-life” self-sacrificial commitments a person would make.

Really, the only time in modern (recent) history that the Right has motivated sacrifice, commitment, and fanaticism was with the various fascist movements of the first half of the twentieth century.  These movements were revolutionary, and even when they looked to the past, they did so in a futurist and palingenetic manner.  They were secular religions, even in the case of those fascist movements that were openly traditionalist Christian.  Indeed, the militantly Christian Romanian Legionary movement was perhaps the most “pure fascist” movement there was, inspiring remarkable acts of courage, fanaticism, commitment, and self-sacrifice; paradoxically, a movement centered on traditional Christianity became a secular religion of its own, with Codreanu as a Christ-like figure, and Mota and Marin as martyred saints.

It were the radical, vanguardist, fascistic movements of the Right that inspired the same, or greater, activism than what we see on the Left.  This is the power of myth, of the irrational in human nature.  Civic nationalism does not provide this.  Trump does not provide this.  Paleoconservatism does not provide this, and Neoconservatism is its pure antithesis (for Whites; Jews may be a different matter).  Der Movement, Inc. certainly doesn’t provide this either.  Military dictators and other para-fascist types do not inspire, do not provide this. “Traditionalism” and other reactionary memes do not inspire this commitment; they inspire sloth and comfort instead.  Only radical and fanatical futurist fascist ideology has been proven to have this power: from Codreanu to Yockey, from the Blackshirts marching on Rome to the French SS Charlemagne Division fighting in the ruins of Berlin, from the Blood Flag of the Third Reich to the power of Mota’s ashes.

We do not have this today, so the Right is reduced, literally, to being punching bags for noodle-armed punks, or stabbing dummies for crazed fanatics.

If this is all a lost cause, I would rather go down in a blaze of glory. History will record that some of the white race died as men.
