Gypsies, pikeys, travellers, the inapposite 'Roma' if you are a Leftist - these are the latest darlings of the chattering bourgeois Leftist establishment and have become a protected species, both in spite and because of their thievery, general criminality and antisocial tendencies. Yet there are aspects of their way of life and protected status that ought to be of interest to us. Caravanning is, after all, a staple of European holiday-making. One thinks here of the small private affairs with just a central office and communal washroom, but also of the more extravagant caravan parks like those owned by Haven, and the entertainment-driven holiday camps of Butlin's and Pontin's.

A basic problem with all this is that people won't move until they think they have to, so it will take years to gain a critical mass of participants. Another thing is that you need to have people co-ordinating it who have expertise in things like property, tenant management, finance and so on. Without that, you run the real risk of making serious financial mistakes. High-level, detailed planning needs to be put in before you even start - and preferably there should be a written plan, with aims and goals set down and agreed.
ReplyDeleteCaravans seem benign enough as a financial proposition, but in reality it's shark-infested water. My advice would be to steer well-clear of private sites offering caravans for sale. It's almost-always a bad deal. In effect, these plots are bought as premium lets that expire with the wear and tear of the caravan that you actually buy, with the result that 17 to 20 years later you end up with nothing.
The best thing to do is buy your own land and your own caravans, which should be brand-new. It's expense but in the long-run it's the better investment: the caravan will not need replacing for maybe 20 to 25 years, with luck, and the land will of course be an investment in its own right. The obstacle is planning permission, but that can be overcome by presenting the venture as a commercial holiday site. You then sell to other white nationalists only.
In regard to the land, it's best to buy it collectively, to avoid the disputes and bad-feeling that can be caused by one participant holding all the cards, so to speak. So buy under the terms of a trust or as a private limited company (limited by shares, rather than by guarantee), into which everybody contributes capital, even if it is just a small amount in some cases. Have a procedure for admitting new members and allowing existing members to resign, if they want.
My take on this: I think the caravan idea is flawed as a strategy. Very few, if any, families will want to live in them. They have no need to, as they can obtain council housing of some kind. It's OK as a way of bringing nationalists together for breaks and recreational activities, and some families might buy into that, but not as permanent living space. In my view the WIN strategy is, in principle, the right way forward for community-building.
To summarise WIN:
(i). A small group of nationalists infiltrate a community, and acquire some property.
(ii). These properties are let to nationalists in need of housing. The ideal candidates for this will be poorer nationalist families, especially from the south of England, and also nationalists who are coming out of prison.
(iii). More tenants are brought in and slowly the pioneers take over the key civic and political positions, which is not at all difficult - especially if the pioneers are reliant on benefits and thus have free time during the day. They generally integrate themselves into the life of the community.
(iv). After two or three years, 'Centre' is acquired (as per the suggestion in the pamphlet 'Live The Dream'): i.e. a multi-purpose building, centrally-located in the target area. This is used to house the project's cover organisation, which will be a community group of some kind that has the aim of regeneration. Businesses could also be officed there and social and cultural events held, as a service to the community.
(iv). Over the years, key local businesses are acquired - the corner shop, a pub maybe - and more property. As the project expands, more sophisticated strategies are adopted: a management agency is established to control property that the project doesn't own, feelers are put out to wealthy individuals who might be interested in investing in residential and commercial property, a unit trust fund is set up using a sympathetic firm of IFAs.
(v). If successful, then consideration is given to spreading the project to neighbouring locales, or replicating the project in other parts of the country.
You have brought up 'complications' I answered in the article. I stipulated that land be bought not leased and that existing camps have regulations about buying caravans. I also mentioned planning permission. Did you read the article at all? Council housing is not an option, as council estates have turned or are turning into multi-culti drug-fuelled ghettoes, so we can rule that right out. Yes, again, you will notice this article promotes WIN.
DeleteI did read the article and my comments are a response to it. I have not mentioned council housing in my own comment.
DeleteYou certainly did mention council housing and I quote you here: 'My take on this: I think the caravan idea is flawed as a strategy. Very few, if any, families will want to live in them. They have no need to, as they can obtain council housing of some kind.'
DeleteYes, in fact I did make my reference to council housing.
DeleteFirst, I was simply saying that most families will opt for council housing before caravan sites. That seems common sense to me. Again, my point is that you would need to take account of what people want. That seems obvious, but it can be forgotten. I would respectfully suggest that virtually nobody will want to live in caravans and I also don't see the sense in it, as there is plenty of housing available, it's just a matter of knowing how to obtain it: whether private landlords, or council/housing association landlords.
Second, council housing would be relevant here as, in the context of WIN, we're talking about areas of the country that are predominantly white. I appreciate that the broad idea could be applied anywhere, but why would a white family needing accommodation want to move into a caravan site? Wouldn't such a plan be more likely successful if you were offering the opportunity to move into housing in a white area?
I can see you've received my comments with some animosity. At least, it comes across that way - which completely baffles me as my comments were constructive and not hostile at all. If I bring up issues you brought up in the article, that doesn't mean I'm attacking you. I may have something to add to what you say, that backs you up - and here I did. Anyway, I will not visit or comment here further.
Thank you very much.
As my family are friends with a family who run a well-known fairground in England, I know caravan communities are a viable option. Again, councils can put literally anyone next to you as your neighbour any time they see fit. For example, the Labour council targetted the Barnsley area of South Yorkshire with immigrants when they realised how many BNP voters there were there.
DeleteI really don't get you, Tom. You have a negative view of everything, unless it's related to Hitler. It was the same when you stormed off out of the Millennial Woes advisory group. Whether you visit this site is entirely up to you.
David,
DeleteThe reason I have a "negative view of everything" [if that's true], is because plainly none of this is getting us anywhere - and I don't wish to waste my time, and I get annoyed with people who claim to care about these issues but spend their time indulging in juvenile nonsense or unrealistic fantasies. How many applicants have you received so far for your caravan site, by the way? This was back in July, so you must have a waiting list of hundreds now, yes?
Overall, I have found that the "far-Right" is full of people like you who are politically naive. You're clearly an intelligent man - far more intelligent than I am, if I may say so - but you lack the practical sense that is needed in politics.
I'm a practical man and believe that the way forward is political power. That was the way forward for Hitler. You read books, so you'll know that. The reason I have lots of good things to say about Hitler is because he was the war lord of Europe, despite apparently having only one testicle. That's quite an achievement for a humble "Czech corporal". But of more relevance to our predicament is what Hitler had to say about politics and political strategy in Mein Kampf - a book that, surprising (or maybe not surprising) hardly anybody who calls themselves Nationalist seems to have read.
I do not see any way forward other than electoral politics - of which my version is the Armalite and the ballot box. I don't pretend that this on its own is sufficient, but it is the way forward. What you advocate is some sort of kulturkampf. I'm happy to leave you to it. Be assured that if I ever need an opinion on the flaws of Husserl's phenomenology, you'll be at the top of my list of people to consult. But culture alone is not enough and the culture will only change when we have power: it's when you have power that the kulturkampf can really begin, until then what you are doing is laying the groundwork.
Then there are those who think we need a societal collapse. If we are reliant on a collapse of society of some sort, then (i). that is hardly a vindication of our beliefs; and (ii). in that event, we've basically had it anyway, because people will not suddenly switch to racial thinking in such circumstances.
The strategy needed is something along the lines of Sinn Fein/IRA. For the avoidance of doubt, and to avoid getting your blog into trouble (which I don't want), I am not here advocating specific acts of violence or glorifying violence, I merely observe the efficacy of the strategy and recommend it on the contingent basis alluded to.
That outlines my position. You'll forgive the delay in replying, but I have to earn a living and I don't really have time to visit these sites much anymore. Your articles are superb and I commend you. I particularly enjoyed the one about Dark City, which has always been a favourite film of mine. But I look at things practically, and in that sense, perhaps figuratively-speaking I am not fully a 'White Man', more an off-white man - I have the mind of a cynic, a pragmatist and an engineer, not the mind of a scientist or a theoretician. I see no point in standing about theorising when my house is on fire. I'd rather just grab a bucket of water and get to work putting the fire out. At least then, I don't have a salvage job on my hands, I just have a burned-out house, but it's still a house. You may prefer a wreckage - and I admit, you can build something better from a wreck. And I admit I am tempted to agree with you.
Sixty million White Europeans dead and people are still singing the praises of Hitler. It beggars belief. All he had to do was stay out of Czechoslovakia and Poland and he couldn't. The man was a fool and I don't look to fools for inspiration. Instead of learning from someone who failed, yet masking his failures, how about learning from someone who succeeded?
DeleteDo you really think you will be allowed to win at the ballot box, to actually be allowed use the establishment's system against itself? Now that really does show naivety. And talk of Armalites and overthrowing the government, and you talk to me about juvenile nonsense? Good look with that, Tom. You'll need it. You have everything backwards, as usual. Let's take the Irish Republican movement then. Did they suddenly take power and then change the culture? No, the political movement worked in symbiosis with cultural and social groups like the Celtic Twilight, the GAA and the Gaelic League, through which future political leaders met. Even with your example of Hitler, the NSDAP relied upon and emerged out of a network of cultural and social groups like the Thule Society, the Bayreuth Circle and the Pan-German League.
Now you say I lack the practical sense for politics, but at the same time berate me for not involving myself in the politics you say I'm no good at. Your contradictory argumentation continues where it left off. I agree that politics is not my forte, but can you find anywhere where I've said other people shouldn't get involved in practical politics? Quite the opposite in fact. Horses for courses, and my course is cultural struggle. You asked me about enquiries as a result of this article. WIN, who deal with that and not me, had many people interested. You would have to ask them about what followed from that, because, as said, that is not my department. I am not all things to all men like your Hitler.
2017 saw me work with Arktos on a Syberberg book in English and with Erkenbrand on a series on classical music. I also had some success in my other life in pushing the nationalist envelope that I can't go into here. 2018 will see me back with the magazine and I also have a few things that are very special in progress with some very talented people, the first of which is scheduled for very early in the year. I am continuing to gather a group of motivated people to work on projects that will, in time, alter the mainstream. It has become such a concern that the research centre into the 'far right' at Teesside University is ordering copies of Mjolnir. Now to throw things back, what have YOU done for the cause this year?
I love the sound of this.
ReplyDeleteCount me in.
I'm just about to embark on some
reconnaissance with a view to an
attempt at a bit of 'white flight'
I've had this article and the one about the inns swirling around in my head on and off for a while now. Arguments for and against in my head. I kept meaning to comment and then having another think on it. It's easy to nitpick and criticise in a knee jerk fashion which is an easy and tempting instinct to fall back on. It does after all mean I or we don't need to do anything if we can prove the idea is flawed. Then we wait for the next good idea to do the hard work for us...if it comes. After mulling it over though I think this is a very good idea (along with the idea of the inns and likely other ideas branching off of this community building you haven't written down yet or is too early to work on before the pioneer communities are established) with few downsides which cannot be overcome. Will there be problems and difficulties in it? Of course. But as has been pointed out already sitting and waiting isn't problem free either and leaves us vulnerable with nothing but a slippery slope to ride down.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about this the better it seems. Recent events and ramping up of hostility towards wrongthink only seem to add even more weight to your ideas. I'd hope that those unable to or unwilling to commit to living in such a community yet would be able to at least perhaps support it in solidarity and to help it get a good start and continue. Skills, labour, tools, etc. Individualism is poison, we're a collective looking out for each other or we are as good as dead.
I'm sure there are lots of working class who simply don't have the capital and means to move, tied to jobs and with only enough cash to keep them afloat and out of debt or the bailiffs visiting. At least they too can perhaps build these communities up and once they grow enough perhaps invitations can be given out for the right stuff to come on board? As you point out in your articles related to this set of ideas it isn't just about economic issues, it is also about helping reform culture and the character of the people involved and the group as a whole.
The concept just keeps sounding better and better with less and less downsides. I really hope this gets support and embraced by the movement as a whole. Fantastic blog all round, I should add.
