The
Relevance of National Bolshevik Ideas in America |
National Bolshevism is a set of ideas
that many have said does not belong in America, that it
its a philosophy that can only be relevant to the peoples
of Europe, especially those in the former Soviet Union.
While this idea could not be farther from the truth, it
does at first seem to possess some validity. After all,
the very name Bolshevik was first used to describe the
more radical branch of the Russian Social Democratic Workers
Party in the early 20th century, the branch that went
on to become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and
rule the USSR for over 70 years. But we don't mean THAT
kind of Bolshevik, because they were too internationalist
and Marxist. The term national bolshevik also has its
origins in Europe, and was used to describe nationalists
who also supported the idea of socialism for their nation-states.
While this phrase was used to mean different things in
different countries, it is enough to say that it had its
origins in Europe and may not seem applicable to
the United States. Of course, that doesn't mean it isn't
appIicable, and. It is unnecessary to explore completely
the history of the term in discussing the relevance of
American National Bolshevism, but it is useful to mention
them to help explain why many think of our ideology as
foreign.
Despite the terms history and the
connection between the term Bolshevik and Russian socialism,
people are mistaken when they presume that we are peddling
a foreign set of ideas to the American people. It came
from Europe, but it's not foreign, caused we changed some
things. Like the part where the nation should be anybody
who speaks English, as opposed to anybody who speaks Russian.
We have our own program that is fully anchored in the
current revolutionary struggle against the system of global
capitalism, and we have developed ideas that stem from
our experiences in 21st century America and have nothing
to do with 20th century Europe. Our partys platform and
ideology then, are dependent neither on the past,
or on another countrys experiences and ideas. We just
took the name because we agree with them.
When creating our platform and deciding
just what our party was to stand for, we were essentially
starting from scratch and were not following anyone elses
model for what a National Bolshevik party should be. We
were inspired more by the spirit of the Russian NBP and
its actions in defense of the Russian people than by any
of its ideological declarations or its platform, which
frankly, just isn't as good as ours. We share with the
European National Bolsheviks the values of democracy
and social justice, and the belief that it is necessary
to struggle against the system of international capitalism
and the individuals and institutions that control it.
We have as our number one objective removing this yoke
from the American people, and until this goal is accomplished
their potential as human beings will never be fully reached.
We then, have at our heart ideas which are fully relevant
to the American people, and are defined by our opposition
to the system that enslaves them.
Our ideas are also not trapped in the
past. We do not hold to the Marxist formulas of the early
Bolsheviks, nor we do spend a great deal of time analyzing
the events that led to their seizure of power as many
radical socialist organizations in the United States do.
This is irrelevant to us, because we're not Marxists.
While we do not ignore the past, we do not see it was
being worthwhile to focus too sharply on it and in doing
so remove ourselves from the present. You learn nothing
from the past. Endless works on whether or not Trotsky
was a Leninist, or about which historical figure, Trotsky
or Stalin, played a bigger role in the October Revolution,
do not aid in the struggle against the NWO and should
be of concern mainly to historians. Only nationalism and
the nation-state are relevant to the present and the future.
We are 21st century Americans, we study our own society,
its injustices, its leaders, and its ability to survive
despite the massive amounts of abuse it places upon our
people. The nation is our past and our future.
Our focus on what is happening in todays
America and the process we went through creating our own
ideology are the reasons why our ideas are relevant to
the people of the United States today. Other parties are
still arguing about splits at the party congress. We've
got no past, so we live in the future. We will certainly
admit to coming from the same tradition that the
Russian National Bolsheviks do, one that advocates revolution
and social justice, but these ideas were also shared by
Americas Founding Fathers. (You would be surprised how
much their leader, Edward Limonov, has in common with
our fathers, like George Washington or Benjamin Franklin.)
They built a system designed to serve the people but which
they knew must be watched constantly to ensure its continued
success. This system has since been corrupted, and in
keeping with the American traditions of Washington and
Jefferson, a revolution is necessary to restore justice
to the citizens of this land. Of course, we believe first
and foremost in democracy, so people should be able to
elect us instead, as soon as we do away with the two-party
system. We would rather be democratically elected, and
are sure that, with the right propaganda campaign, we'll
be elected. If Hitler could do it, so can we.
Our Party is relevant because America
needs new ideas and ways of looking at itself and at its
many problems. National protectionism is the newest idea
we have to offer. We bring a new ideology to the table,
one that does not deny our American heritage as many radical
parties do, but one that also does not deny the many problems
our countrys political and economic systems possess as
many so called patriots do. Groups like the Klu Klux Klan
or the John Birch Society acknowledge our American heritage,
but ignore many of our social problems. They don't really
oppose global capitalism and do nationalists an injustice
with their focus on racism and other outdated ideas that
alienate people. Our patriotism is one that demands that
social justice be a part of the American dream, and our
resistance to the system of globalist capitalism is one
that demands that the American nation and its welfare
be at the center of Americas policies. We are outside
of the system that the political and economic elites control,
and stand firmly for the true interests of 21st century
Americans.

This article was written by a
European comrade and is meant to answer some of the
basic questions people have about National Bolshevism.
As a set of ideas that describes itself as both
nationalist and socialist, and also consciously placing
itself "beyond the left and right", National Bolshevism
is sometimes mistakenly seen as some kind of
fascist doctrine or new form of Nazism. This couldn't be
further from the truth, as the answers to these
questions clearly show!
ABOUT
NATIONAL-BOLSHEVISM
ARE YOU NATIONAL SOCIALISTS OR FASCISTS? Of course
not. A National Socialist bases his whole emphasis on
the question of his nation's racial purity/racial characteristics,
which we National-Bolsheviks don't care about.We only
care that you identify with the nation, accept Russian
as the dominant culture in the world, accept and use the
Russian language exclusively and assimilate into the Russian
nation. We don't care what's in your blood; that's an
outdated way of thinking. National Socialism is Nationalism
in its most extreme form; conquering other people for
its owns sake. A National-Bolshevik doesn't want to enslave
other people, or proclaim one superior to another, but
instead liberate them from the yoke of the Novus Ordo
Seclorum: the New World Order. Everybody should be free
in their own nation. Neither are we Fascist, because they
defend the existing Capitalist system (just as the Nazis
do) as long as the State and the people of a Nation are
intact. A National-Bolshevik grants no pardon towards
the Capitalist system and would NEVER sacrifice ideals
for the conflictlessness in a Corporatitist society, as
the Fascists do. We wish to nationalize all large industry
and limit capitalism to small capitalists. We do not agree
with a bourgeois class alongside the state; everything
and all power should belong to the state and the people.
That is the difference between us and Fascists. We are
statist totalitarians and they are Corporatist totalitarianism.
Nazis are race totalitarians.
ARE YOU RACISTS? No. The NBP in Russia even accepts Jews
in the party, and has some in leading positions, and everyone
is welcomed as a National-Bolshevik, regardless of ethnicity
or origin. But we do recognize a Nation's or ethnicity's
historical and cultural traditions and everything that
it means. Because the mass immigration 'exodus' of the
Third World is created by the Liberal-Capitalist power
we see it as obvious that European nations help their
blood sisters and brothers. The system is the cause of
problems, not the Immigrants; they're victims of the purges
by the World Capitalist dreadnought. We fight for them,
for their right to a prosperous homeland. When the World
Order is smashed (may that day dawn soon, inshallah) and
the Third World countries liberated, repatriation
will minimize Ethnic conflicts in the West and will send
these undeveloped countries the 'know-how' and intellectual
power needed for social rebuilding. Everybody can go home
then. About 'race mixing': We National-Bolsheviks believe
it's an individual choice whom a Comrade or Citizen decide
to spread his or her offspring with. It isn't a political
matter. However, settling and having families with people
of other races and ethnicties cause inevitable problems.
We believe that all ethnicities (of aesthetical as well
as natural reasons) should be preserved for the future
generations, and an example of an endangered 'race' is
the black Africans, that after hundred of years of Colonial
oppression, slavery and now, through HIV and mass starvation,
face long-term extinction. It's a matter of enormous
proportions to be solved, for the best of Mankind and
the Africans, but through the existing system this is
entirely impossible. If African Americans wish to preserve
themselves, they should have children with pure blacks,
as many black nationalists have understood. If white Europeans
do not wish to dilute their culture, they must carefully
consider what relations with other people bring. But this
is not to be confused with racism. Only we believe that
Black Africans are as beautiful as white Europeans, and
that's why they should keep to themselves, to preserve
their gene pool. Racism is forcing black people to become
more white by impregnating their women and producing half-breed
babies. That's not racism - that's common biological knowledge.
ARE YOU COMMUNISTS/MARXISTS? Marxism is an interesting
Philosophy which, among other things, helps to explain
the laws of Economics, and acts as an interpreting tool
of history. As a political dogma, Marxism is an anachronism.
No, we are not Marxists or Communists, but we proclaim
the rights of the little Man against the plutocrat Elite,
and are thereby 100% Socialist. On the other hand, we
like a lot of Marxists and use them in our publications,
not because we are Marxists, but because they look cool
and attract young people.
ARE YOU NATIONALISTS? Nationalism/Patriotism may, as in
Russia, be a great instrument to use to reach the goal.
In Europa Nationalism lies in the mud of our bloody 'civil
war' past. We live in another age, where a United Europa
is necessary; not under the dark-blue coat of the Capitalist
elite, but under the Red Banner. Decentralisation of power
is however necessary, even in this United Europa, and
what could be a better bearer of this decentralized power
than the European nations and regions? Regarding Third
world countries, we always stand on those fighting for
national independence against the Globalists. It may however
be difficult to identify progressive Third world movements
sometimes.
HOW DO YOU VIEW LIBERALISM/CAPITALISM? Capitalism isn't
an Ideology, but a system. Liberalism and Capitalism mean
Consumerist culture and the Yankee cultural imperialism
a la Coca-Cola. To be an anti-Capitalist, is being opposed
to Liberal values (which clear the way for the Capitalist
parasite-like monoculture). The National Bolshevik is
the greatest of all anti Capitalists, because we opposes
all it's values, ideals and content. We don't use its
global brands - we use national brands. Anything national
capitalist is better than global capitalist, because national
capitalist is at least half national socialist - it's
simple mathematics. Bolshevism is the total opposite of
Liberalism and Capitalism: instead of Liberal western
values, we proclaim the traditional-socialist Eastern
ones. Of course, if you have American National Socialists,
you should proclaim the liberal Western value of democracy,
because it's part of your Western tradition. And, as for
socialist being an Eastern one, you can still find a way
for it to be American. There's no contradiction in that.
