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

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president.  Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer,  recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue?  What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems.   Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out.  The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark.   Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions.  The full plans for Eurozone political union ( EMU Stage
