For those of us who live in urban environments, communities do not come naturally; yet when people create them, these communities make all the difference to stemming the tide of Cultural Marxism and anti-white attitudes, and to bringing back prosperity to our people. Here is why we must come together and build communities in urban areas, infusing them with European values and a pro-white spirit:
-
Without communities, people go home and browse the media, being told what to believe and how to feel about things. Within communities, people discuss things with each other and critique what the media tells them, making them harder to indoctrinate. Moreover, within communities, no one ever feels afraid of challenging the media's imposed ideologies, because communities, unlike corporations and ideological groups, do not usually expel their members for thoughtcrime.
-
Without communities, people find work among strangers, joining corporations that couldn't care less if the white race lives or dies as long as the shareholders get their profits. Within communities, people build economies from the bottom up, working together in a way that strengthens the whole group. They do not compete in a pointless rat race, but collaborate to ensure the well-being and prosperity of their whole community.
-
Without communities, people with pro-white attitudes can only express these attitudes as isolated individuals. Within communities, these same people can organize very effectively to promote pro-white attitudes across the society they live in. If you want to design pro-white flyers but don't have the graphics skills to make pictures for them, chances are that someone in your community of 100 people knows how to paint. Likewise, if you want to make a documentary and have sound editing skills but need a cameraman, maybe you can contact someone in another pro-white community to help out.
-
Without communities, moral principles remain unspoken and the religion of entropy known as Cultural Marxism takes root. Within communities, moral principles are both explicitly and implicitly present, giving people a strong shield against Cultural Marxism. When 90% of the women in the community support loving, stable marriages and frown upon promiscuity, good women will be more inclined to join it and bad women will avoid it like vampires avoid sunlight.
-
Without communities, traditions do not normally take root. Within communities, people safeguard their traditions because the community itself lives or dies based on whether it espouses good traditions or bad ones. Communities that embrace Cultural Marxism sip from the venom of false traditions; as they cast the treasures that kept them alive into the pit of history, racial, sexual and spiritual entropy take over and the same pit of history quickly devours the community itself.
-
Without communities, children are raised separately, going through the ideological meat grinder of modern schools and enduring a barrage of anti-white slander for more than a decade. Within communities, children form bonds that protect them from the demoralization and mistaken sense of guilt they would experience if they were isolated. And once they experience a true, loving community, they will intuitively know that a Cultural Marxist collective is nothing of the sort, and will be shielded from the influence of such collectives once they go to university.
At the moment, we have political groups, but there seems to be no push towards creating actual communities, with community centers where we congregate. Jews have synagogues, which are pro-Jewish community centers that are open to religious Jews as well as Jewish atheists; there is no reason whites shouldn't have pro-white community centers that were open to Christians, Odinists, atheists / agnostics and so on. I propose we set about a long-term plan to create some.
So how do you create pro-white communities? To begin with, you should ensure that they have a solid foundation, and this foundation is inevitably a cultural, moral and genetic one. It is cultural because shared activities, from traditional holidays to regular gatherings, keep the community alive; it is moral because the community's existence depends on shared values; and it is genetic because the members of a community share a genetic destiny, having children together and helping these children thrive. Thus, any pro-white community should look for cultivating white culture, white values and the procreation of its own members, along with encouraging its members to pursue white prosperity and the preservation of white homelands overall.
When it comes to white culture, I recommend teaching the classics, especially Marcus Aurelius, and honoring traditional holidays and symbols, as well as creating new holidays to commemorate historical events such as the Siege of Vienna and the Battle of Lepanto. Any tradition that promotes an awareness of ancestry, such as celebrating the birthdays of ancestral heroes and writing brief testaments offering guidance to one's grandchildren and beyond, would be helpful. Consider that there are probably unsung heroes in your own ancestry; if their own children would have included them in their testaments, recounting their heroic deeds, you would have known them by name and hearkened to them in times of despondency. Coming-of-age ceremonies, either for all 18-year-old men on a certain day or for individual male members when they reach the age of 18, could help strengthen their awareness of being members of their race and communities. Songs specific to white culture could be sung. Also, I believe that communal meals could be useful for cultivating community spirit; the Sikh tradition of eating together in their temples all the time is an excellent example of this, and I have seen them take this a step further and offer free food to strangers in the street as a friendly gesture.
White values are something we inevitably cultivate in the course of promoting moral values as a whole, though it also helps to teach one another about the specific values of our race and those of different races, so that we have a better understanding of anyone we may meet. When it comes to developing moral values in general, there are plenty of classical European philosophers from whose works one can draw inspiration, as well as ancestral heroes whose great deeds we can commemorate. Ideally, every community should have a written moral constitution, describing the values it bears and how it intends to uphold them (e.g. We uphold Truth and the freedom to pursue it, adulterers will be kicked out, and so on). Do not underestimate the value of having explicit moral standards; they can decide who joins and who leaves the community, and anyone joining can quickly see whether the stated standards are being applied. Besides helping the community stay true to its beliefs, this provides a strong defense against Cultural Marxism, as the moral standards discourage some SJW infiltrators and provide a way of legitimately expelling the others.
Finally, as I mentioned above, any pro-white community should care for its children, both for their individual sakes and for that of our race overall. Promoting early marriage, high birthrates and economic collaboration between members, so that they can effectively raise many children, is important.
I will continue writing on the topic for the foreseeable future and would welcome your thoughts. Please post in the comments section if you're interested in forming or joining a pro-white community of any sort, and we will work together for that purpose.
