To win back our freedom - to live in a noble, honourable, way - we must create a new society, for all the societies currently existing are tyrannical. They are tyrannical because they are all based upon the abstract, dishonourable, concept of The State.

The State, in whatever political form, abrogates sovereignty to itself, and thus destroys by means of its abstract laws and its social and political policies, the sovereignty of the individual. And it is this sovereignty of the individual - guaranteed and made real by Folk Culture law - which is the basis of individual freedom and the foundation of a free society.
 

In essence, freedom means individual responsibility, individual judgement, and the freedom to be able to make and exercise that judgement. The basis for such responsibility and judgement is honour.

In essence, The State means State responsibility and State judgement, with the State reserving for itself, and its appointed officials such as Judges, the Police, the freedom to make and exercise judgement about matters.

Any law, whatever its intent and whatever it is about, which is not based upon the principle of personal honour is a denial of freedom. As such, it is tyrannical.
 
 

Practicalities of Upholding Folk Culture Law:
 

The nine guiding principles of Folk Culture Law are sufficient to build a new type of society: that is, sufficient to inspire people to rebel against the tyranny of the present and sufficient to inspire them to live in an honourable way.

The application of these principles in individual cases once a new society has been created - for example in disputes between individuals - is a matter for the new community itself. The application of these principles in the past - for example in the pre-Christian communities of Scandinavia and Iceland - showed that they worked; that they did indeed created a society where freedom existed.

We have many advantages that these older, pre-Christian, societies did not have: for example, we now have the conscious understanding of what personal honour means and implies. We have the conscious, reasoned, understanding of the meaning of our lives: of us, as individuals, being bound to our folk, to Nature, to the very Cosmos. Of us being a living nexus.

Furthermore, the foundations for our reasoned understanding is the knowledge that: (1) we have the ability to change ourselves - our behaviour, our feelings, our actions - by using our will; and (2) that being honourable means using our will to behave, to think, in a noble, civilized, way according to a Code of Honour.

That is, we now have a whole new ethics - a whole code of personal behaviour - based upon personal honour, loyalty, and duty to the folk, and a whole new "philosophy of life": a way of thinking, of being, of apprehension, which enables us to make reasoned judgements in accordance with our ethics.

In addition, what should also be understood is: (1) that in a community, a society, governed according to Folk Culture law, individuals would be expected to behave in an honourable way; (2) this new society is an ethnic society, composed of people of the same race, the same culture, who share the same ideals, the same goals; (3) this new society is very different from the vast, sprawling, urban-dominated, anonymous societies of the present, since it would be a genuine folk-community, with individuals known to one another and with all individuals engaged in some kind of work or service of benefit to that community; and, perhaps most importantly, (4) the knowledge that others have the freedom, the right, to challenge to a duel (with deadly weapons) anyone who acts in a dishonourable way would act as a balance against people giving in to temptation, or giving in to their lower desires, and doing dishonourable deeds.
 
 

For the present, what matters - what is of fundamental importance - is creating this new, free, society. What matters is freeing ourselves from the tyranny of the present. What matters is presenting a reasoned, noble, alternative to the all-pervasive System based on the idea of The State with its uncivilized Prisons and its primitive, barbaric concept of punitive punishment of those who contravene its so-called "laws".
 

Towards Freedom - Creating a Society of Liberty and Honour:
 

To begin our new journey toward freedom we must accept that our present societies are fundamentally wrong; that their very foundations are flawed and incompatible with our noble ideals, and indeed incompatible with freedom, honour and true justice. Thus, we must accept that we need to create an entirely new type of society for ourselves and our descendants. We do not wish to live as most of our people now are forced to live: either in crime-infested urban or rural areas which we have to share with barbarians who have no sense of honour, and no noble ideals at all; or in areas these barbarians can get to by modern means of transportation.

One day, in the distant future, such barbarians may well have become civilized; but the reality of our present is that they exist now, in our societies, and have to be dealt with.

We who are honourable know, and accept, that the only civilized way to deal with such barbarians - with those who refuse to, or who cannot control themselves and their bad desires and impulses, and who would take away our honour given the chance - is through superior and if necessary lethal force. Such people cannot be reasoned with: you have to stand up to them, be prepared to fight, and if necessary force them to retreat, or kill them.

But our wish, our dream, our vision, our hope, is of a decent, noble, civilized, way of life where we can live in freedom without the constant threat posed by such barbarians in our midst. Thus, we must also accept that our new society can only be an ethnic society: that is, a folk-community of people of the same race who share the same ideals, the same goals, the same noble and folkish vision, and who are willing members of that society. This means that our new society consists of people who want to live in an honourable way, among their own kind, according to the principles of Folk Culture law: that is, our new society is composed of people who have made a free and conscious choice to follow our way of honour and Folk Culture law: of striving to control themselves by upholding a Code of Honour.
 

As has been noted elsewhere (see  The Future is Ours  ) there are really only three ways of creating such a society: (1) revolution, and thus the overthrow of an existing government; (2) rebellion, and seizing some area where we establish our own new homeland; or (3) creating new communities for ourselves external to presently existing societies.

The reality of our tyrannical, ignoble, times is that all of these ways will involve us in conflict: with the tyrannical System itself, and with those who, for whatever reason or reasons, will oppose us and our ideals, our vision.

Each of us must consider these ways of creating our new and noble society, choose and then follow one. No one of these ways is better, or more likely to succeed, than any other. They are all practical, and all morally right considering our situation and the tyranny of our times, just as they all offer us the chance to create the new world which we men and women of honour yearn for and dream of.
