The Socialist Manifesto

These were some of the prime demands of one of the world's most famous Socialist Parties:

9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.


The policies listed above are taken from the 25 point plan of the German Nationalist Socialist Party (Nazis).  The Nazis were the principal ally of the Soviet Union at the outbreak of the Second World War.  These nationalist socialists were not Marxists and fought against the subversive attacks by the Soviet Empire's International Marxism in the 1920s and 1930s.  Like the Soviet Socialists, they got utterly out of control and persecuted small groups and individuals to satisfy the bullying desires of the majority.

See The Political Spectrum
The defeat of the Nationalist Socialists left the Soviet sponsored Internationalist Socialists a clear field on the Left to promulgate globalization and State control.  The British socialists of the New Labour Party are spawned from this Internationalist Socialism  (see The Roots of New Labour ). 

Nationalist Socialism still persisted in the Hispanic world under the guise of Peronism and it occurs in the Arab world as Baathism  etc.  Modern China is a Nationalist Socialist state that places the Han people in pole position.

Using the Marxist "Left-Right" analysis of politics, Internationalist Socialists tend to call Nationalist Socialists rightists unless, like China, they are very powerful and needed by the Internationalist Socialists.

It is extraordinary that there are large numbers of people who still support the socialist approach to politics despite Stalinism, Maoism, Nazism etc.  There are journalists in profusion writing in British newspapers who proudly state that they are "socialists" and condemn all other viewpoints as unethical despite the obvious truth that tyranny is the real enemy of mankind and socialism is the mother of tyranny.


My opposition to Nationalist Socialism is the same as my opposition to Internationalist Socialism:  socialist ideas impose a social order instead of permitting a voluntary communal order of free people.  At the level of the individual they place correctness above politeness, legislating for behavioural standards rather than fostering the good in each person.  At the level of the State they introduce a one-way momentum (ie: a "progressive agenda") that is almost impossible to reverse and leads to persecution and tyranny.

The only social order that is worth our support is that of free people uniting to form a government, not a government that will compel obedience.  It is sad that so many academics suffer from Stockholm Syndrome where, being captive within institutions, they cannot conceive of freedom.

It is only when politicians provide a regulated market that allows the continuous creation of independent new businesses and the abundance of employment that people can have freedom.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

The Roots of New Labour

This article was written in 2009 but is still useful to understand the motivation behind New Labour - from the global financial crisis through the over-regulated, surveillance society to the break up of the UK into nationalities. The past lives of Labour Ministers have long been sanitised and many biographies that include their shady communist and Marxist pasts are inaccessible or removed from the net. The truth about these guys is similar to discovering that leading Tories were members of the Nazi Party. If you are a British voter and do not think that this is important then I despair for British politics.  Had these people taken jobs in industry their past might be forgotten and forgiven but they continued in left wing politics and even today boast of being "Stalinist" or International Socialist (or in Blair's case, Trotskyist ). Peter Mandelson (first Secretary of State and Labour Supremo): "Mr Mandelson was born into a Labour family - his grandfather wa...

Do Muslim women want to wear the Burka (Burqua)?

Do all islamic women want to wear burka?  Can a woman's freedom to wear what she wants oppress other women?  Are western feminists aiding a cult that is dedicated to the destruction of feminism?  I hope to answer these questions in this article.  I would much appreciate any comments you might have if you disagree with the article, especially if you have a feminist viewpoint. Here is a description of the problems of wearing burka by a woman of Asian origin: "Of course, many veiled Muslim women argue that, far from being forced to wear burkas by ruthless husbands, they do so out of choice. And I have to take them at their word. But it is also very apparent that many women are forced behind the veil. A number of them have turned up at my door seeking refuge from their fathers, mothers, brothers and in-laws - men brain-washed by religious leaders who use physical and mental abuse to compel the girls to cover up. It started with the headscarf, then went to th...
