It seems that if modern culture has succeeded in the utter
destruction of anything, it is idealism. Ideals which used to fill us, used to
define us and which used to drive us to move mountains and accomplish the
impossible have been discarded. Replaced with the empty crevices of consumerism
and individualist culture, which serve only to set one’s society down the path
of degradation and self destruction. Indeed in the past it was not the moral
emptiness of things which drove us to conquer mountains but instead a drive and
a will to make the nation we know and love great.
What has caused this divide? It seems most prominently to be
linked into a change in the very fundamental psyche of business. Formerly business
was a force to further the interests of the state; looking at great former Industrialists
and businessmen such as Cecil Rhodes or the Krupp Family we see a constant image
of patriots ready to put themselves in the firing line for the national good.
In the case of Rhodes we get a quite literal example of that via his own
personal intervention in the Boer War. Yet now we live in a society where the
state is subservient to business, not vice versa and the result is a system
which instead of providing the necessary criteria for improvement and progress
only sparks degradation.
One can most easily describe the relationship that should
exist between business and the state is simple metaphor. It is the relationship
between a parent and a child; parents must guild a child through life and
protect them when necessary from the harm their poor judgement could cause. Yet
at the same time they cannot be utterly dominated in this regard, for any
success a child makes under complete domination is hollow and meaningless and
the lack of real struggle necessary for them to attain any really greatness
creates a husk of a person. In response though for this guidance (despite any
harm they may feel originating from it) a child must be necessary to aid their
parents in times of need and pay back the gift, perhaps the greatest gift of
life, they have been given.
Instead of this though we see a system where exploitation of
one’s own countrymen remains on the table, where the national good is
substituted for the good of the individual and a system is enforced which holds
no real longevity in reality. This is not to say such ideals as Marxism hold
credit, equality is by no means a real aim, but at the same time it is our duty
to ensure that the state as a whole benefits from the economic system we hold
onto. What we need is the so called “third way” the point where the best of
state and private intervention can combine and hand in hand work to build true
greatness.
In the past we have simply seen this ideal as a method to
disguise one’s own ultra-capitalist or socialist economic viewpoint, simply
performing a Bismarck style twist to hide ones true agenda. That cannot be the
aim nor can it even enter the agenda, the ideal of the state and doing all in
ones power to further that ideal must be our driving point. For under an idea
we can achieve greatness, a man will much sooner die for an ideal then we will
die for pure economic property. This is why war is always waged under pretences
of spreading freedom or liberty as we can individually regard ourselves as
morally righteous instruments towards bringing about that end.
Society must feel united, it must feel strong and it must
feel purpose for it to act in the cohesive and indeed perfect manner it must
seek to attain. This though can only be attained with an idea and the
alternative we currently face is a level of division and divide among our state
that threatens to destroy and disembowel us all. The modern political class is either too idiotic
to accept this or simply does not care, to busy filling their own pockets with
the spoils of their decadence, it is up to the British people to take hold of
the necessary vision and force about the change we so need if we are to have a
future at all...
