Something that, while drastically improved, is still an issue. Lack of intellectuals in the movement.
While we’re thankfully out of the movement dark ages of 2002-2015, when the NSM had a monopoly on the movement and things were as dead as they could be. While we had ideological rebirth in a sense, especially with Ironmarch publications and a renaissance in the US of rediscovering Fascist intellectuals of old.
There is still a lack of new ideas. We still aren’t back to where we were in the later half of the 20th century when we had multiple American intellectuals churning out books, essays, audio messages, etc.
The movement had shunned this for many years due to conservative thought and their anti-intellectual bent infiltrating the movement. Academia is left-leaning, so being an academic is leftist. Instead of being a reactionary who just says what’s topical without thinking, that is the modus operandi.
This hobbles the movement because we’re not reactionaries. We don’t just focus on the issue of the moment like we’re politicians arguing in Congress. We’re Fascists. We don’t want minor reforms to the current system; we want to abolish the system and replace it.
This is how you end up with street protests by groups who, when asked what they want and what they believe. They just stumble on themselves, stating vaguely, “Um, I want a White ethnostate and such”. That doesn’t cut it. The DDR was White, yet we doubt you’d want a Stalinist system.
Being able to concretely tell people exactly what you want cuts it. Being able to articulately explain your beliefs and wants is how you truly win people over. GLR and Dr. Pierce understood this.
This is why people who weren’t already followers of Thomas Rousseau didn’t like his interview with Bet-David. Since Thomas can only do the “muh ethnostate man” without explaining in detail what he wants besides vagueries and dodging tough questions. If you’re not confident in what you believe in, why should anyone else?
What we need is simple. More ideological material. AF and a couple of others alone doesn’t cut it for the American movement. That has serious limitations.
The more people contributing to ideology and tactics of what we should be doing and what we want, the better. As we can debate, discuss, and weed out through natural selection, the good and the bad. What works and what doesn’t. The more media and material added, the better.
The more we explore things, the better.
It isn’t that hard to learn how to create websites, start media operations, and alike. Again, the more, the better.
We need more booklets, ideological videos, websites, and more. We need more ideology and more new ideas. We need to reinvent the old.
This isn’t a strict call for “only American Futurism guys!” but everything within the movement contributing together at once. We can debate and examine the facts after everything is out there.
Hitler, for example, also promoted this and implored this in the 1920s. Back when the German movement was known as the Volkish movement and not National Socialist, it was a small segment before they dominated. He wanted there to be as many groups and takes on things as possible so everyone could explore, debate, and find out the best way on things through natural selection.
Stagnation is the enemy of progress, and ideologically, with some exceptions, the American movement has been in a stagnant pond relating to this aspect for decades.
So create and contribute. The more, the better. Our very victory depends on this.
