Considering the situation that now confronts us, in terms of our loss of freedom, and in terms of the continuing disrespect by our present societies for Nature, we who believe in freedom and who respect Nature must give urgent and serious consideration to what can be done to ensure our, and our descendants, freedom, and to ensure the health and well-being of Nature and her creations. Having considered our options, we must choose the most practical and suitable option, and then strive to implement that option in the real world, through practical deeds.

Our starting point is our belief that our people are no longer free: that all people wherever in the world they are, are to a greater or lesser degree forced to live in what are - despite the rhetoric of politicians - tyrannical societies where the fundamental principles of freedom, of personal honour, of the free giving of allegiance, of the sovereignty of the individual, are either ignored or have been taken away by government legislation ( See Liberty and the Right of Rebellion).

In addition there are two obvious and true facts about our current situation. First, that the majority of our own people no longer think, act, feel and behave according to the customs and ways of their ancestors. That is, they no longer possess or show through their actions, their thinking, the way of life, the culture of our ancestors. In brief, they have lost their identity: their awareness of, and respect for, their ancestral way of life and their own culture. Instead, our people for the most part, either passively or through active choice, accept the consumer-capitalist "politically correct" way of life. The values of this modern way of life are totally opposed to the moral values of our ancestral way of life, based as this way is upon personal honour, loyalty and duty to the folk.

The second obvious fact about our situation, is that this first truth applies to almost every people of every culture in the world: the international consumer-capitalist System is undermining and destroying their ways of life and their culture, just as it is plundering and destroying Nature herself. In fact, the reality is that this consumer-capitalist System with its materialistic way of life has become like a virus which has spread over our planet, making it ill. For the materialistic way of life of almost all modern societies is like a sickness, causing us to be disrespectful of our ancestors, of our own culture, and causing us to be arrogant toward, and disrespectful of, other human beings and Nature herself.
 

Our Vision:

Our situation, and that of Nature, is certainly dire, and it will only get much, much worse. Our own desire - the desire, the dream, the vision, the hope of we who understand - is for we ourselves and our people to live in freedom, among our own kind, in a cultured, civilized society, with this folk-based society founded upon and dedicated to maintaining the values of reason, honour, freedom, idealism, duty to the folk and duty to Nature.

In brief, our vision is of a noble, free, wholesome, society where we, our children and our descendants, can live civilized lives, enabling us all to contribute to our culture, our civilization, and so continue our own evolution as human beings.

We do not want to live in festering rubbish-strewn manic urban jungles infested with drug-addicts, criminals and work-shy undisciplined low-lifes who live off "welfare".  We do not want to live away from the crime-infested cities and towns knowing that our home, our family, our neighbours, can because of modern transport, roads and highways be targeted by amoral criminals who reside in those cities and towns.

Instead, we desire to live according to the way of Folk Culture: respecting our own culture, and respecting Nature and the wonderful diverse creations of Nature. We desire to replace the modern manic and selfish way of living with a more natural, a more harmonious, and more respectful, more reasoned, way of life.

Our Choices:

Given our situation and our dream, our hope, our vision of a noble future - and our desire to try and make that vision real - we have only three choices. We have to be realistic and practical, and understand and accept the truth that our existing nations - the societies currently existing in the Western world and elsewhere- are not going to suddenly collapse due to economic, or other problems.  Such a collapse is extremely unlikely to happen for a variety of reasons. First, despite the social problems which exist, and the increasing corruption, our societies still function fairly well on the practical level, in terms of public services and utilities, and in terms of industry and commerce. Second, the economies of our nations are still fairly sound, with every nation depending on the other nations for goods, services, materials, business and so on, and with every government, of whatever type, following basically similar policies, with their now being international agreements for nations to help each other if problems arise. That is, nations have ceased to be isolated in economic, financial and business terms: they are all part of a world-economy, a world market, with the system designed (more by necessity and from experience than by planning) to ensure long-term stability. The bottom line is that our people will continue to work hard, and pay their taxes, and so keep the economies (and welfare-schemes) going. They - and others - will do this because they desire the benefits which the present system gives them, which is a good standard of living, and a materialistic, consumer-orientated, life-style.

To do nothing, or very little, hoping that the System is about to collapse or will soon collapse, is simply to be naive and to throw away what realistic chances we do have.
 

Our four choices to make our dream real are:

1) We can try to save what were once our own nations, our own homelands, and strive to make them into a free society dedicated to our own culture and intent on living a more natural, folkish, way of life. This means obtaining political power in these nations, that is, becoming the Government of the nation. For only if we have direct political power can we change things, can we create a new society and re-introduce, nationwide, our culture, our values, our way of life.

2) We can try to somehow win control of, or seize in some way, a part, or region, of an existing nation, and so strive to establish there our own society, our own homeland. That is, we can rebel against the National, or Federal, government and declare some part of our nation an independent and sovereign State.

3) We can try and create a new nation for ourselves by a migration, a trek, to somewhere suitable and so establish new communities, which will become over time the foundation of a new society and thus a new nation.

4) We can create rural communities within existing nations and States, opting out of conventional society, and striving to live the way of Folk Culture by aiming to become as self-sufficient as possible.
 

The Option of National Government:
 

There are only two ways of achieving control of an existing Government: (1) through ordinary political means; (2) through covert action or insurrection.

1) Ordinary political means involves a legal political organization, movement, or Party which seeks to get its members elected into positions of power: as Senators, Members of Parliament, and so on. This involves gaining widespread, mass, public support.

This will take a very long time, but is feasible. It involves creating a political movement dedicated to the principles and ideals of Folk Culture - to Freedom, Reason, Culture and Honour - and then converting a significant number of people to these principles and ideals through political and social activity. This may well take twenty or thirty years, or even longer, and to achieve real success would most likely require a charismatic leader: someone with a strong, inspiring, personality who would embody the principles and ideals of Folk Culture. In politics, personality is often more important than policy.
 

2) The way of covert and/or armed insurrection - of a cultural movement for liberation - while possible and morally justified considering our present situation (see Liberty and the Right of Rebellion) will only become realistic and practical when there is an overtly repressive tyranny.

The truth is that the majority of people do not realize how little freedom they have, and are reasonably content with their materialistic, Nature-destroying, way of life and have no reason to change: the capitalist-consumer System still works reasonably well and keeps them well-fed and entertained. Furthermore, the majority of people in all Western nations, are lost to their own culture, their own ancestral way of life, having accepted the materialistic, arrogant, Nature-destroying, inhuman, commercial "culture" promoted by world capitalism: that is, the global "American culture" of the urbanized, crime-infested, vehicle-dependant, MassMedia-entertained, meat-and-alcohol-guzzling, consumer society with its uncivilized Prisons and freedom-destroying abstract laws, and its armed Police force which has the so-called "authority" to arrest and detain anyone.
 
 

The Option of Regional Rebellion:

This option, while also both possible and morally justified, is unlikely to succeed because it requires two things: first, fairly widespread support for such an action, and a willingness by the majority in the chosen area/territory to act, and second, inaction by the National or Federal Government once such action has been taken and independence declared.

To move toward rebellion will take a long time because we would require the support of the majority of people in the region, and this in itself is unlikely, in the near future. The people simply do not identify with us, with our Folk Culture ideals.

As with trying to obtain political power, the majority of our people are simply not interested in our message of freedom and respect for Nature. Such a regional rebellion - like a national political Party - would require a real leader, for it is such a leader who would make all the difference.

Second, even were such a rebellion to occur, to succeed it would need to either take on and defeat the military forces of the Nation, the Government, since it is almost inconceivable that there would be no response from the Government: that they would allow a rebellion and the establishment of a sovereign republic in territory they claim authority over.

Considering the military and financial resources of such National, Federal, Governments, it is highly unlikely the Government would lose such a confrontation.
 

The Option of Migration:

We are thus left with the options of migration, of individuals and families moving to a selected area, and establishing a new community or communities, and of opting-out of society and establishing rural communities within existing nations and States.

These are both feasible and possible, for the only real obstacle is the lack of desire among us to undertake these options. We need only to decide on a suitable area or areas, and then join together, or establish our own communities.

In respect of migration, if we move, and begin a new life somewhere and then for whatever reason it does not work out there, then we just find somewhere else, and begin again. It is as profoundly simple as that. All we need to succeed is to think, act, feel, and dream as free men and women think, act, feel and dream: as our pioneering ancestors did. We, like they, can establish a new community, create a better more noble way for ourselves, and so hand-on to the next generation our dream, our vision, our hope, our Destiny.

On the practical level, such a migration means us living together as a community. It does not mean us just moving to a certain area and living within travelling distance of each other and occasionally visiting each other. It means living as neighbours, bound together by a common task. It means being real pioneers. It means an opting-out of society itself. It means exiling ourselves from our society. Anything other than this will simply not work, for it is the living together, the sharing of tasks, the common overcoming of problems, which will create a real community. We need to create a shared pool of stories of difficulties overcome: we need the comradeship that only such closeness, such common solving of problems, can create.

To simply live as isolated families or individuals in a large area, and simply continue living and working as part of our existing societies, will not work; it is not what is needed.

We need to be able to share our problems; we need to be able to rely on each other; we need to be able to help each other out. We need to be like a large, extended family of real brothers and sisters, of relatives. We need to know each other on a personal basis, and be able to sit around a bonfire and have community festivities; perhaps dancing and singing; or maybe a re-telling of the sagas, the legends, the stories of our culture, our people.

Of course there will be problems, often to do with disagreements about solving problems, or to do with clashing personalities. But if we put our task, our aim, our Destiny, our dream, our vision, before our own feelings and desires, then we can and will overcome such problems. Our ancestors did, time and time again, so there is no reason why we cannot.

To succeed in the long term, our new communities will need two vital things:

(1) A shared faith, a shared ethos. That is, they will need not only to share our common vision of a new society, but also to be united in a practical way, through sharing a common faith: through having and accepting the same answers to the fundamental questions about life - Why are we here? What is the purpose of our lives, as individuals?

It is certainly possible to establish a new community or new communities, but without this binding together which a common faith brings, over decades the people of such communities will get disheartened, sink into disagreements about policy and direction, and be beset with questions about whether it is all worthwhile or even necessary, particularly when there is and will be for the foreseeable future, an easier, more comfortable, way of life available in the society around us.

There simply has to be a spiritual dimension to the new communities: a real knowledge and understanding that the higher perspective of the folk, of Nature, of the cosmos, brings.

There simply has to be common festivals, feasts, and observances which bring and bind the people of the community together. There simply has to a burning faith, a real, inner and driving belief in Destiny, for it is this which will inspire sacrifices and enable people to triumph over the hardship, the difficulties, the adversity which will assuredly arise.

Such a spiritual Way, such a common and shared belief, giving as it will a feeling of Destiny, a sense of perspective, an answer to the question about the very meaning of life, is essential: just as essential as food, as water, as shelter.

(2) The second thing which is vital to the success of the community is a policy of not getting involved in external politics and indeed of not projecting a political image at all. That is, the basis of the community will be with living in a cultural way, and the concerns of the community will be with practical and immediate things to do with the community itself: such things as daily work, growing food, building dwellings, educating children.

The aim is to attract people by creating a living example of our own unique cultural life, for such an example will say far more than any amount of political words, any amount of political rhetoric, could say.

To attract people, what is needed once the initial community has been built and is functioning is for a few individuals from the community to go out among our people: to find and talk to like-minded people and if these people are suitable, to invite them to visit and stay in the community for a while. Such a personal contact - such a "mission to our cultural brothers and sisters, our kindred, our folk" - is the only realistic and suitable option. Suitable people can only be found by making personal contact, for it is personal knowledge of, and personal contact with, people which is important, both for those undertaking such a "mission" and for those who are or may be interested in the community
