By Shaun de Moray:
Perhaps the most important element in any political struggle is propaganda. Many activists, however, fail to understand how to use this method of political warfare because they fail to understand that – at its essence – political propaganda isn’t designed to change how people think, but how they act.
A casual observance of our contemporary reality declares that propaganda is everywhere:
Toothpaste adverts seek you to buy a particular brand’s products.
British Army adverts seek you to join our forces and risk your life for a government that hates the indigenous people.
Holiday brochures seek you to visit a country and spend your money on the various services offered.
And so on….
The central problem with most nationalist propaganda: is that it doesn’t give you a path, a definite series of actions you need to take once you start fighting for the cause. This leaves people exposed to ‘our message’ in a state of confusion, thinking: ‘Well, what am I supposed to do about it? Spread this miserable news to somebody else?’
Take a look around at the movement for evidence of this lack of direction: for some it’s a drinking club at demonstrations; for others it’s a book club where people can share ‘controversial’ ideas; and for others it’s a way of proving the sheeple wrong on social media with arguments about Jooish power, White geNOcide, or the facts about the Holocaust, etc.
This lack of clear direction means we are under utilising some of the best people our race has to offer. Remember, we do belong to a people who have created almost everything of significance in the modern world — but if we continue to spread a message without offering a plan-of-action targeted at different types of people, we shouldn’t be surprised if we fail to out achieve our limited competitors.
Luckily, at Western Spring, these types of problems can be remedied because we have something that’s always been lacking from the movement: a plan. A definite direction.
Using Western Spring’s Six Prerequisites as an example, it would be beneficial if each of these prerequisites had web sites dedicated to them; so an aspiring, serious nationalist activist has something offered where he can specialize in his particular area of interest and the advice offered then becomes an interactive experience where the individual is constantly motivated to improve his performance around people on the same path.
Combined with events such as: community leadership workshops, enclave building workshops, nationalist writers’ workshops, nationalist martial arts classes, nationalist fundraising workshops, etc, we will have the beginning of a professional movement. Also, the opportunities for self-actualization that are always a great incentive beside the core reason for being a nationalist in the first place.
I do believe this lack of direction and specialization within the nationalist movement as a whole is a core reason why people often drop out – people become demoralized because they don’t know what they’re supposed to achieve or even what to do. With creativity, insight, and a lot of hard work, I believe the approach I have outlined, that of providing our supporters with a well defined path forward is something that will propel it forward to greater achievement.

I am on stormfront and often make posts, but as with everyone else, my posts are really just moans or stupid comments.
I keep looking for groups that have definite plan and that are interested in uniting all the disparate nationalist groups in this country. Because at the moment I feel we are too fractured.
I have been thinking over the last couple of weeks that we need to unite and create a manifesto, we need to make a clear statement over what we believe.
Does Western Spring have many members, especially in London and the South East.

Hi Erdman, I can confirm that yes we do have members in the London Area. if you would like to join us then please email me [email protected] and I will be in touch.

Fantastic contribution, Shaun! The final two paragraphs in which you make specific suggestions are really encouraging. One idea that may be worthy of consideration is advice for young nationalists on how to start up minimum outlay, easy to run small businesses. These businesses could be in the form of a service that is always in demand to one extent or another – garden and out-door property maintenance – window cleaning etc; light furniture removals and house-clearance; domestic cleaning, etc, etc, etc. The costs of advertising are minimal – cheaply photocopied flyers with much extra work coming from recommendations via word of mouth. These types of enterprises would also bring contact with ordinary people, enabling roots to be established in a local community with an awareness of what’s going on at ground level in a particular neighbourhood.

Well said Shaun, just to react to events is reactionary, to make events happen is revolutionary.

Shaun, I agree entirely and have consistently said as much. Ultimately it boils down to organisation.
.
Folk of course can’t do everything and need to concentrate their efforts in their niche area. This ‘departmentalisation’ is of course seen in all organisations and political parties: spokesman for defence; first point of contact for publishing, so on and so forth.
.
I think the first step is to ask the willing to come forward and contact WS expressing their interests and areas of capability or expertise. Perhaps a [email protected] could be created for this end.
.
Likewise there could also be a [email protected] for those unwilling or unable to volunteer, where they can send in ideas without giving their details. This will also allow those who are not members, but nevertheless support or sympathise with the aims of WS, to offer their passive support. (The ideas of non-members and are equally valid and should be judged on the merit and not the status of he or she contributing.)
.
I think this is a positive step forward in bridging the gap between the members/supporters and the organisers. I trust we are past the top-down, Dear Leader approach of previous organisations and political parties and are now encouraging the work of the grass roots of the Movement. What better mechanism to stimulate action and much-needed assistance than an outreach programme?
.
Get up, get involved, and step it up, White Man.

One of the most perspicacious thinkers in British nationalism always talks about the need for a unifying idea. Essentially, this means a thought system – an image in the mind – where each person understands what we stand for, what we want, what we are. Look at Rome: this great civization lasted for nearly two thousand years (if you include the Holy Roman Empire) on the idea of the greatness of Rome.
Western Civilization is dead and frankly, it needed to die. In the glorious history of our race we are left defending a ”civilization” that is built on the memes of the Middle East — memes of the desert. We have travelled through all the internal expressions that our civilization can offer, and now our people are demoralized because the currenstances are seen through the memeic lens of a dying civilization.
We will survive as a race, but our metaphysical condition must change and then our biological abilities will follow – read history, our enemies are thick when it comes to objective achievements. Look at them; they’d all be living in ”pre-modern” slums if it wasn’t for what our people have achieved.
This isn’t White supremacy, this is fact.
You can’t dent it.
Once we start working together, and, most importantly, we re-connect with the archtypical forces of our collective unconscious we will have everything needed to shake off an inferior enemy. Listen to Mozart…. What race was he?

I remember some Black activist type trying to claim Mozart as one of their own, which was laughable & I thought have they not got anyone of their own to hold up as a hero, that they have to steal White ones?
Most people they do put forward seem to have feet of clay, Obama, Mandela FFS!

We also need to build alternative strategies outside the old ‘twin- track’ of elections plus demonstrations.
– reinforce traditional Racial Nationalist ideology.
-intelligence gathering.
-creating infrastructure. For all the work and courage since the 1960s nationalists have virtually nothing in terms of physical assets to help our cause. We need our ..’facts on the ground..’.
-network worldwide with other white racialists. A ‘White International’.
-persuading key functionaries of the Establishment to join us- business people, civil service, police, media etc. Not all the servants of the status quo are looking forward to racial destruction. They can and must be recruited!
