I’ve decided to make a late addition to this thread, as it seems the American Futurist fandom has been getting uppity lately. Specifically, I would like to put to rest the commonly-repeated statement among Siegetards that Active Clubs are a means of deradicalization, and are thus totally ineffective.
I’d like to bring up the
National Alliance Bulletin, December 1984.¹ It was written by Dr. William Luther Pierce² commemorating Robert Mathews, an upstanding National Alliance member who died in a gunfight with the FBI. The section of interest goes as follows:
Quote:THE TURNER DIARIES, as has been pointed out in the Bulletin a dozen times in the past, is fiction. It is not a secret plan for a White revolution, even if the controlled news media and the FBI claim that it is. … Although the author has a great interest in such matters, he has never overthrown a government, assassinated a public official, or blown up a power station, so he cannot claim expertise in anything beyond the gadgetry of revolution and sabotage.
…
Armed opposition to the government certainly is not feasible at this time, nor is it likely to be in the next decade. It is this conviction of infeasibility, not a love for the government or its laws, which is behind the standing Alliance policy of refraining from all illegal activity.
An action-minded young member may find this restriction intolerable. A member of any age may look at what the enemies of his race are doing and become so filled with rage that he cannot hold himself back from striking out at them. … The average member who yields to the temptation to take up arms against his race’s oppressors cannot count on becoming an honored martyr like Mathews. A much more likely fate for him is to spend long years, unremembered, in the hellish nightmare of a racially integrated Federal prison.
Finally, for those who absolutely are determined to go beyond the Alliance’s approved actions … here is a little advice: keep it legal.
There is no overwhelming need to accumulate machine guns and hand grenades, when there are so many excellent semiautomatic assault rifles available. A member who must have a machine gun should acquire it legally by paying the required Federal transfer tax.
And there are many activities for guerilla trainees to engage in without putting themselves into legal jeopardy: physical conditioning, marksmanship, ideological training, first aid, map reading, unarmed combat, etc. There are secure communications techniques to be devised and learned. There are a hundred vital questions to be answered: What are the criteria to be used in selecting recruits? How does one detect an infiltrator? How should various emergency situations be handled? Tentative answers should be found to all such questions, and then the answers should be put to the test in realistic simulations.
As it stands, the Active Club system in America and Europe fulfills that exact thing. For example, Patriot Front is very public about the training they conduct with their guys,³ and it covers everything listed by Pierce except for marksmanship. In lieu of that, many Active Clubs tend to just go shooting with their members and don’t publicize it as an organization activity, in order to avoid attention that would be brought on them for “militia training.” The listed activities happen in other clubs too, but aren’t as heavily documented (which, if you ask me, is for the better). There is also much to be said about WN 3.0’s decentralization and loose networking, meaning that if one club gets taken out by the feds, the whole network doesn’t die on the vine, which is advantageous with a government whose sole, singular stated purpose is to prevent pro-White organizations from existing.⁴ One may call this an appeal to authority, but given his experience and success, I think Dr. Pierce is a perfectly fine authority to appeal to.
In short, Dr. Pierce states in the Bulletin what WNs should do if they want to channel anger into action and build networks, and the current Active Club scene is doing exactly that. I wouldn’t call following the instructions of one of the most impactful and (arguably) smartest men in WN history to be “deradicalization.”
1. This is the only webpage I could find this on, so if you want to read the whole thing, it’s under the post titled “Harold Covington Calls Dr. William Pierce a Coward.”
2. In search of the National Alliance bulletin referenced in this post, I ended up reading through a lot of material from National Vanguard, which has archives of Dr. Pierce’s many speeches and essays. In short, it was a harrowing experience. Looking back on old stuff and realizing that the White Nationalist cause has been swamped with retardation, grifters, and autism (the bad kind) for as long as it has existed, it was an utterly brutal blackpill realizing that barely anything has changed over the decades. I highly commend anyone who has been “in the scene” since before 2015, as it must have seemed like an utterly hopeless struggle before it began reaching more people.
As an aside, I think that Harold Covington would have made an excellent NJP Central Committee member.
3. I brought up Patriot Front specifically because they publish basically all of their training activities, not necessarily out of preference. As a sort of disclaimer, not all is good in the Patriot Hood. At the moment, there are many negative rumors circulating about PF as well as Thomas Rousseau, some of which are more substantiated than others. I will include no further drama details, I’m just bringing this up in order to not sound like I’m saying the ‘Atriot Front is perfect in every imaginable way.
As a tangent, it’s interesting to me that there are (probably) a single-digit number of facefags in the entire European WN 3.0 scene. I figure we in Hamburger Land should take the hint, since their scene is doing a whole lot better than ours.
4. In the wake of the collapse of the NJP, it has been frequently observed that though the organization and its gay talking heads are gone, the underlying network between the non-retarded members still remains, just not under the NJP banner. Although Patriot Front
is centralized in nature, the individual regions are very close with local Active Clubs, meaning that if the organization does collapse (see Footnote 3), its members would be easily absorbed into those clubs, and the overall network would persist.
