      <title>The communitarian critique of liberalism left and right</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/the_communitarian_critique_of_liberalism_left_and_right</link>
      <description>by Graham Lister

For the philosophical communitarian, the Sartrean cogito, spontaneously reinventing itself ex nihilo, permanently free to choose and revise its definition of the good, is a fiction that pervades all modern liberalism. From Hobbes, Locke and Kant, through to Mill and Rawls, the rootless, solitary and “unencumbered self”, as Michael Sandel describes it, prior to and independent of its ends and rationally deliberating on the value of its voluntary attachments, is adopted as the starting point of social analysis.

This conception of the subject, it is argued, precludes from the start the possibility of genuinely communal forms of association, of “constitutive” communities “bound by moral ties antecedent to choice”. This is why communitarians stress the cultural constitution of the subject, the way the individual forms his or her identity, sense of self, and intuitive system of values by inheriting and passing on an unchosen legacy of collective orientations, shared meanings and standards, networks of kinship and pre&#45;contractual forms of solidarity which are a prerequisite for, rather than the outcome of, the subject’s capacity for moral commitment.</description>
      <dc:subject>Political Philosophy,</dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rising discontinuity is accompanied by the diversity of visible cultures and lifestyles. This is promoted by the density of urban populations, high social mobility and change, unprecedented choice for the individual consumer - albeit at the potential cost of a rapid decline in the overall diversity of our natural stocks - and the impact of transport and communications technology, especially on the tourist industry. Exposure to different forms of life, particularly those that are too exclusive or stylized to permit participatory understanding by outsiders, inevitably creates a sense of cultural relativism. Where ethnic, class, national and religious traditions do intermingle and combine, discrete cultural narratives are severed or reinvented, and hybrid cultural forms emerge which lack historical precedent, thus weakening the constitutive bonds between generations.</p>

<p>There is also the well-documented impact of the mass media, another factor which has served to heighten many of the trends already noted. The entertainment media have encouraged the privatization of society and the decline of face-to-face interaction through which communal narratives are reaffirmed and passed on. The proliferation of sophisticated images has blurred the boundaries between the real and the imaginary and saturated social life with ubiquitous representations of novelty and difference, representations which typically incorporate easily identifiable elements of ordinary life and recycle them in impossibly exotic, erotic, and alluringly faultless images. Moral and cultural relativism reflects the success with which the media has, by providing simulated substitutes for human interaction, made us wide-eyed strangers to those lives and cultures whose basic elements - from the mundane aspects of work and play, to the feelings and puzzles which human existence gives rise to - we all share in common.</p>

<p>At the same time, our insatiable appetite for remote and alien experience has attenuated our capacity to recover something of the child’s original wonder at the everyday world, to yield to a curiosity for the most familiar aspects of our surroundings, to find joy in the simple passage of the seasons, to marvel at the growth of children, to renew our affections and attachments without the aid of imported novelty and change.</p>

<p>Today’s “imaginative hedonism”, this limitless and self-gratifying appetite for rootless novelty and conquest which seems so hostile to our need to re-establish an ethic of self-limitation, is not a “postmodern” phenomenon, as is largely assumed, but is better described as a characteristic of “hyper-modernity”, in which society has failed to steer the emancipatory dynamic of modernity towards a political end. Daniel Bell saw it as a radical extension of the trends in modernist culture itself, reinforced by the hedonistic compensatory mechanisms of organized capitalism. Christopher Lasch believed its origins lie in our failure to achieve psychological individuation, a process demanding that we repudiate our memories of pre-natal bliss and find connections with a world that is independent of our wishes yet responsive to our needs. Robert Bellah and his colleagues identified the clear emergence of this “expressive individualism” in nineteenth-century America, contrasting it with a scientific culture of utilitarian calculation to which it was both a reaction and a complement. And with greater precision, Colin Campbell has located the religious source of the consumerist outlook in the Pietist strand of the same Protestant ethic that helped generate the entrepreneurial spirit of capitalism.</p>

<p>For the philosophical communitarians, then, it is the cultural and historical heritage of individuals, their identities as “bearers of a tradition”, which provides the moral particularity essential for an authentic life. In MacIntyre’s account, it is the roles and attachments of one’s family, one’s profession, one’s city or nation, which incur “a variety of debts, inheritances, rightful expectations and obligations” that “constitute the given of my life, my moral starting point”.</p>

<p>This theme is taken up by Sandel, who rejects what he refers to as liberalism’s depiction of a “deontological” self whose identity is never tied to its aims or attachments. He writes:</p>

<blockquote><p>“We cannot regard ourselves as independent in this way without great cost to those loyalties and convictions whose moral force consists partly in the fact that living by them is inseparable from understanding ourselves as the particular persons we are.</p>

<p>... Allegiances such as these … go beyond the obligations I voluntarily incur and the ‘natural duties’ I owe to human beings as such. They allow that to some I owe more than justice requires or even permits, not by reason of agreements I have made but instead in virtue of those more or less enduring attachments and commitments which taken together partly define the person I am”.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>A person without such constitutive attachments, Sandel continues, would be lacking in moral character and depth:</p>

<blockquote><p>“For to have character is to know that I move in a history I neither summon nor command, which carries consequences none the less for my choices and conduct. It draws me closer to some and more distant from others; it makes some aims more appropriate, others less so”.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The “deontological self” which is the starting point to liberal contract theory is, by contrast, a self so bereft of character that it is incapable of self-knowledge, and therefore self-direction. Being “unencumbered” by its conception of the good, having no attributes and aims other than those it has voluntarily chosen, its enquiry into its own motives and ends “can only be an exercise in arbitrariness”. Sandel’s belief that “some relative fixity of character appears essential to prevent the lapse into arbitrariness which the deontological self is unable to avoid”, is shared by MacIntyre, who sees the work of Sartre as the epitome of this liberal individualism. Should we follow MacIntyre and dispense with Sartre’s existentialism for depicting “a self that can have no history”, that is “entirely distinct from any particular social role which it may happen to assume”, and that creates a human life “composed of discrete actions which lead nowhere, which have no order”?</p>

      <title>Anti&#45;white ideology is like anti&#45;biotic overuse</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/anti_white_ideology_is_like_anti_biotic_overuse</link>
      <description>White nationalists are like MRSA; a super&#45;strain.&amp;nbsp; We become viral meme creators, and we become viral ourselves, in resisting anti&#45;white anti&#45;biotics.</description>
      <dc:subject></dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anti-white mass media provided a huge return on investment from the 1960&#8217;s on, just as anti-biotics have provided humankind with an extremely high return on investment.</p>

<p>However, anti-biotics lose their efficacy with overuse.&nbsp; In particular, in Confined Animal Feeding Operations, where all the animals take some antibiotics every day in their food just to keep them all from keeling over because of the unhealthy conditions, they are incubating supergerms.</p>

<p>Anti-white ideology is very much like the anti-biotics given to livestock, and multiracialist society is like a CAFO.&nbsp; If Whites were allowed to express racial solidarity, the whole operation would fall apart in a moment, just as the cattle in a CAFO would quickly die of disease if not for daily anti-biotics.</p>

<p>As you&#8217;ll see in the video below, there&#8217;s nothing like a daily dose of antibiotics to create a virulent strain, a supergerm.</p>

<p>And that is exactly what the daily drip, drip, drip of anti-white antibiotics is doing to the White herd&#8212;supergerms (mindweapons) are being created among us.&nbsp; If you look at the pro-white comments, such as the godlike productions thread posted below, you will see how much energy we have, and compare with how little energy the people supporting multi-racialism have.&nbsp; For them, it&#8217;s all about the money; for us, it&#8217;s life or death.</p>



<blockquote><p>You are dead on. The progressives turned me from being racially apathetic to being an active white supremecist. I suppose I really snapped when I transferred to a college in California and my new school had no classics department but latin american studies, black studies africa studies and asian studies all as majors. That happen simultaneously with the obama frenzy, it lit a powderkeg in me that can never be undone. and trust me, I’m not the only one. We’re everywhere: and its all thanks to progressives!</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Whoever wrote that, has become a mindweapon.&nbsp; He is MRSA:</p>

      <description>Apropos of the arrest and prosecution of Emma West (#1, #2, #3) and Brendon O’Connell (3 years
imprisonment), will someone mete out “justice” in this case?



Interesting tidbits:
@ 0:03 “you’re like a disease” [berating the bus driver].
@ 0:13 To the driver: “What do you want GOY [i.e. non&#45;jew]? What’dya
want GOY?” … a passenger says “he’s the driver” … she says
“He’s a GOY!”
@ 0:39 To a passenger: “your grin is gonna turn to blood. May your
grin turn to blood [repeats this several times]”
@ 1:01 – 1:14 She: “I’m calling the Mashiach [Hebrew Messiah] to
kill you. Serve the Jews or die. I’m part of the Rebbe’s campaign and I
don’t ever want the Messiah coming for you ever. I want you to be completely
abandoned and I want you to turn into a slave.”
@ 1:16 onward she says, “I’m a Jewess, every mikvah I kill you
retarded Nazis” (followed by some chant or curse in Hebrew) “every mikvah I
do kills you Nazis… Every Nazi I kill is all for the Jewish people.”
@ 1:44 she says to a female passenger (out of view), “now shut your
nasty mouth or suck a cock. How much cock have you sucked you gnarly girl? You
suck that cock? Put it in your throat girl you gotta get that cum everywhere,
you little ho, you little Nazi girl, you’re naughty, you’re naughty..”</description>

in responsive to continual attempts
by malicious individuals to control the dissemination of information under
the guise of anti&#45;piracy measures (SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, Trans&#45;Pacific Partnership,
etc.) or child protection (PCIPA). Spread the word. And don’t defeat the
measure by buying excessively in February to carry yourself through March. Seek
alternatives to occupy your time with: a new exercise program, more outdoor
time with your children, browsing the internet, learning a musical instrument,
learning a new language, etc.</description>

      <title>Pre&#45;revolutionary intellectualism, and the eternal beginning of nationalism</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/pre_revolutionary_intellectualism_and_the_eternal_beginning_of_nationalism</link>
      <description>It&#8217;s really one question that hangs over political nationalism, though it has many forms.&amp;nbsp; How do we make politics amid all this hostility?&amp;nbsp; How do we get this movement moving?&amp;nbsp; How do we make our people wake up?&amp;nbsp; How do we get them to turn away from near concerns and act at last in their own ethnic interest?&amp;nbsp; Is it better to be accommodationist, civicist, expedient and dishonest?&amp;nbsp; Or principled?&amp;nbsp; Isn&#8217;t &#8220;principle&#8221; the problem?

And so forth.

For weeks the BNPIdeas website, which is centred on Andrew Brons, has been filled with inventive ways to ask this question.&amp;nbsp; Inevitable I suppose, given last October&#8217;s failure to launch a new party and the non&#45;appearance of the &#8220;parallel party structure&#8221; that was promised in its stead.&amp;nbsp; It is apparent now that action of any profitable kind is beyond the power of nationalism in Britain.&amp;nbsp; Fear of moving forward, disdain at staying put, the impossibility of going back, spill out all over the page, and over it all hangs the big red sign declaring triumphantly, &#8220;You lost!&#8221;

Which is all too possible as things stand.&amp;nbsp; No surprise then, to see yet another agonised article, this time penned by a William Shakespeare (of no evident poetic leaning), deploring the division in nationalist ranks, and proposing &#8220;the way forward&#8221; thus: 

I also appeal TO YOU – YOU who are reading this article – because, like any proposal, it requires a display of support and the posting here of as many messages of general support and agreement as possible.

The plan I put to you is this. In order to advance the prospect of Nationalist Unity, without which nothing on a national political front can ever be accomplished, I propose that a simple petition, or plebiscite to use an old term, of ALL Nationalists and supporters of Nationalism is undertaken.

Every individual would submit their name and some address detail to distinguish them (if not a home address, an email perhaps) and – this is the really important bit – each person would include a brief summary of what THEY consider to be the most vital pieces of policy and constitutional requirements that a single, united, nationwide major Nationalist Party ought to have.


That is the ineluctable product of an absence of leadership and clear principle.&amp;nbsp; But, then, nationalism in Britain has ever been a cut flower ideologically, and no leader could compensate for that, as I tried to explain in a comment to the bard&#8217;s article:</description>
      <dc:subject>British Politics,</dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>William Shakespeare,</p>

<p>I want to explain a fundamental of all metapolitical struggle - and we are engaged in a metapolitical struggle.&nbsp; It is this: such struggle does not begin with electoral politics.</p>

<p>Let there be no doubt, we are still at the beginning.&nbsp; We are not, nor have we ever been, in the electoral phase of our struggle.&nbsp; The only reason we appeared to be so in the period that produced the election of Andrew Brons and Nick Griffin to the European Parliament is because the desperation of the hour has run ahead of us, creating the illusion that a path to power through electoral success was open to us.&nbsp; It wasn&#8217;t and it will never be while we grasp at it so thoughtlessly.</p>

<p>Let me say this another way.&nbsp; The great work of saving our people from submersion in the bottomless seas of the Third World cannot be done by street-level activism.&nbsp; No amount of unity (sorry Andrew), no amount of artful positioning, no amount of dedicated activism can do what must be done.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because the values and goals of nationalism do not exist within the intellectual and ideological confines of the ruling liberal paradigm.&nbsp; Nationalism as the politics of the blood community is denied wholesale by liberalism as the politics of the unfettered will.&nbsp; Our people today live in toto by the latter, and to change that from within the liberal electoral system is impossible.&nbsp; Change of a nationalist character comes from without - it is essentially revolutionary.</p>

<p>In other words, we do not begin by fighting the Conservative and Labour parties but by creating an intellectual space defined by the justice, morality, and truth of the struggle for our people&#8217;s existence.&nbsp; That is the revolutionary cause, the unifying cause, and it is that cause which must be carried down into the wider movement, into political activism and out to the electorate.&nbsp; But I venture to suggest that if I ask you, Mr Shakespeare, in what the justice, morality, and truth of the struggle for our existence consists, you could not offer more than the vaguest thumbnail sketch in return.&nbsp; We are an anti-intellectual movement.&nbsp; We think we know it all already.&nbsp; But we really don&#8217;t.</p>

<p>In the normal course of events, a pre-revolutionary process of intellectualisation might take ten, even twenty years before it gives way to activism.&nbsp; We have three or four years to spare at most because of the waste of so much valuable time.&nbsp; But we do have some limited foundation in the anti-liberal analysis of the European New Right and in Anglo-American empiricism.&nbsp; In any case, we still have to proceed via this path, because nationalism cannot meet its appointment with history any other way.</p>

<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean that the movement as it is today has to stop in its tracks.&nbsp; There is much it can do outside party politics - culturally, for example - to turn itself into a revolutionary movement of the people.&nbsp; And it certainly should develop a political party, but that movement and that party can only ever be vessels for real political thought.&nbsp; Without that, we will do in the future all that we have done in the past, and no more.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>They will not listen, of course.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Sound principles of money, by Arthur Kitson</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/sound_money_arthur_kitson</link>
      <description>Arthur Kitson published a book, A scientific Solution of the Money
Question, in 1895. It’s
accessible for free. This is a very interesting book because he’s a
strong proponent of the free market, even using the analogy of natural
selection in arriving at the form money should take to maximize the welfare of
as many people as possible, and comes down hard on any sort of monopoly
regarding the creation of money, arguing against both banker and government
control of money. With this kind of attitude, the capitalists, or socialists,
or free market proponents can’t dismiss his arguments right off the bat.

He has a very nuanced discussion on wealth, value, standard of value, price,
purchasing power, the wisdom of keeping money scarce, etc. This book needs to
be summarized, but for now, the most interesting parts will do.

The price of something for sale is dependent on supply and demand for this
thing. It’s also dependent on the supply and demand for money. So there’s
plenty of room for bankers to make a profit. Now let’s add a third variable,
which is to base money on a commodity. Now, the commodity on which money is
based can be hoarded, exported, imported, cornered or thrown upon the market,
and thus the purchasing power of money affected. Now you know why some people
insist that money should be based on a commodity. The third variable plays into
the hands of the bankers. Obviously, the bankers have no interest in proposing
a commodity to base money on that’s plentiful. They propose a commodity
that’s scarce, such as gold, because a scarce commodity is easier to
manipulate.

Kitson cites numerous examples of a gold standard being forced upon people,
and shows that a free market would never accept money based on gold. Kitson’s
thesis is a devastating critique of basing money on a commodity. Kitson
followed with an addendum or reply to critics in 1917, titled A
fraudulent standard : an exposure of the fraudulent character of our monetary
standard, with suggestions for the establishment of an invariable unit of
value.

So money established by law, a concept going back as far as Aristotle, is
sound as fiat money, i.e., money not backed by a commodity. But who should
issue it? Kitson comes down hard on bankers issuing money, as well as a
government monopoly on the issuance of money, citing instances of government
corruption. Keep in mind that the book was published in 1895. From 1866 to
1886, the volume of money in America had been reduced by almost 80%, causing a
depression. Superficially, the government did it by removing greenbacks
(debt&#45;free government&#45;issued money) and silver from circulation. Silver was
also removed from circulation in many European countries around this time. The
actual reason was the bankers had used their control over the governments to
bring this about because they wanted to force a gold standard. The American
dollar went on a gold standard in 1900.

So who should issue money? According to Kitson, money should be issued by
the people! He proposes a mutual banking system. Mutual banks are owned by
communities. They create money for loans, out of thin air, against any
commodity or IOU (someone promising to pay back the loan). There’s a service
fee but no interest. At any given time therefore, the amount needed for
repayment of loans doesn’t exceed the amount created as loans, and no one’s
forced to default. Money created in this manner goes through an accounting
cycle, the same as under commercial banking today: it’s created when a loan
is made and destroyed when the loan is paid. The money for the service fee is
created out of thin air when a loan is made and used by the mutual bank for its
operations. 

There are four important differences between Kitson’s proposal and how
commercial banks currently operate: 

  Commercial banks charge interest, which isn’t issued. Just to maintain
    the volume of money under commercial banking, total loan activity must
    exceed total repayment activity of the principle sum, which is the reason
    for spiraling debt and inflation. A $100 loan at 10% interest needs to be
    paid in the amount of $110 in one year, and this $110 can only come from
    money that has been issued as debt [doesn’t matter that one has earned
    it]. The new $110 loan at 10% interest amounts to a payback amount of $121
    in one year, which, again, can only come from money issued as debt. And so
    on.
  Commercial banks operate under the oversight of a private central bank.
    This facilitates coordinated reduction in the amount of loans granted or
    coordinated increases in interest rates, thereby diminishing the volume of
    money in society, forcing many to default. This, in a nutshell, is an
    economic bust. The bankers now foreclose and obtain assets for pennies on
    the dollar. But a community that runs its own mutual bank has no reason to
    do this to itself nor any reason to coordinate with other communities’
    mutual banks and trouble other communities along with itself in this
  manner.
  Commercial banks issue loans against very specific items as collateral,
    whereas mutual banks will issue loans against any commodity with the
    understanding that when the commodity ceases to exist in functional form,
    the money created and issued against it must also be destroyed.
  Commercial banks claim ownership of the money they create as debt. When
    people default, commercial banks foreclose. Mutual banks won’t foreclose,
    as a community wouldn’t want to see its members homeless, but work out an
    arrangement with the person unable to pay the debts to do community service
    without pay or perhaps allow another member of the community as a roommate
    who pays rent to the mutual bank.


Under Kitson’s proposal, there’s no shortage of money and no inflation.
Abuse is prevented via internal policing, rotation of mutual bank employees,
non&#45;hereditary appointment of mutual bank employees, and random external audits
by a central authority that can only intervene in the case of fraud.

How will a government obtain the money for its needs? Taxes.

Whereas the government can create its own money, if the government is
dependent on the people to pay for its expenses and the people control the
money supply, the people decide the nature of the government.

In the special case of advanced technology replacing a lot of human labor
with machines, which creates a scenario where specialized factories can produce
goods at great initial cost but the displaced don’t have the income to buy
these goods, whereas the government
may create money out of thin air to extend as social credit to the
displaced, since it’s desirable that the government obtain money from the
people, the central government should be taking money from mutual banks to
extend to people as social credit, in which case the mutual banks make an
exception by creating the money out of thin air but not as a loan.

The mutual banking system proposed by Arthur Kitson is clearly superior to
the solution that I’ve been promoting for a couple of months, which is that
money should be created in a debt&#45;free manner and issued by a government, in
which case money that’s created truly circulates as opposed to going through
an accounting cycle whereby it’s created and destroyed. The accounting cycle
under the charge of mutual banks is easily able to achieve a level of fine
tuning to needs that circulating debt&#45;free money created by a government
can’t. Technically, mutual banks could be extensions of the central
government’s Treasury, in which case the government will be the sole
authority creating money, and this wouldn’t require a Constitutional
Amendment in nations such as the U.S., where the Constitution only grants
Congress the power to create money, but the argument that placing control of
money in the hands of a society that uses it is better than a few hands
controlling money holds, even if the few hands compirse of an elected and
accountable government, and therefore mutual banks had better be community
owned.

Now, there’s no way to go from the present system—where commercial banks
create nearly all money as debt and people are indebeted to private bankers to
the tune of tens of trillions of dollars—to a mutual banking system. This
reminds one of the 25&#45;point program of
the NSDAP. At the outset, they emphasized the necessity for a strong
central government to undo the damage caused by the bankers, noting that the 25
points of the program were temporary. At present there’s a need for a central
government to take full charge of the creation and issuance of money, creating
debt&#45;free money to retire the national debt and prohibiting private banks from
creating money in any way. After a few years, one could transition to mutual
banking for the masses and the government only creating money for its own
needs. This can transition to a government solely relying on taxes for its
expenses and obtaining money from mutual banks for social credit money. But
activists don’t have to wait for government control of money before
attempting to implement mutual banks. The problem needs to be attacked from
many fronts, and one can work on mutual banks right now [to be discussed].

So I need to overhaul the money FAQ and note that the
solution offered there as of the date of this posting should be regarded as an
intermediate solution, not the final solution.

Kitson wasn’t the first to propose mutual banks. Others have proposed a
similar system. The Local Exchange Trading System (LETS) works on a similar
principle. John Turmel has shown
the mathematical soundness of LETS or Kitson’s proposal. I believe the
same idea is described in Paul Grignon’s
Money as Debt volume 3 video. Islamic banking—not to be confused
with banks operating under the auspices of international bankers in the typical
Middle Eastern or predominantly Muslim nation—incorporates one of the
proposed principles, too, such as not charging interest.</description>

      <title>Large&#45;scale protests in Poland over ACTA</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/large_scale_protests_in_poland_over_acta</link>
      <description>Tens of thousands of people in Poland have been taking to the streets, in freezing
weather, to protest the government being open to the enforcement of ACTA (ACTA =
Anti&#45;Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), which is administered by an international
body outside local jurisdiction. It has been noted that the
real reason for ACTA (also the Trans&#45;Pacific Partnership; SOPA and PIPA) is an
attempt to control the dissemination of information, not the superficial
issue of violation of copyright.</description>

      <title>Protests against austerity measures paralyze Belgium</title>
      <link>http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/protests_against_austerity_measures_paralyze_belgium</link>
      <description>It was recently noted that Europeans will be
increasingly experiencing what the Third World has to experience when
bankers start enforcing austerity measures because Europeans governments borrow
money from bankers, at interest, money that the bankers create out of thin air.
Here are recent mass protests against austerity measures (more taxes, less
benefits, increase in retirement age, etc.) in Belgium that shut down large
parts of her.</description>
