  • The Idea of Apprenticeships Was Admirable

    —“The idea of apprenticeships was admirable: for a fixed term, usually seven years, a master or mistress of a trade would train a young person so that he could earn his living at that trade. The master kept the apprentice in board, lodging and clothes, but had no duty to pay him, although many did in the final years of the term, when the apprentice had learned enough to be helpful. The system applied throughout society. Prosperous merchants, goldsmiths and bankers made tidy sums from the premiums paid by the parents of hopeful apprentices. The members of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen of the River Thames, who had a monopoly of river traffic, had 2,140 apprentices in 1858. Poor masters could profit from the unpaid labour of children taken from the parish workhouse”—-

  • The French Originated Socialism as National Socialism

    by Skye Stewart [T]he french originated socialism as national socialism. Both Marx’s international communism and international socialism are, in a sense ‘national socialism’ made international. Many on the alt-right and many conservatives who want to venerate their people and provide for them, all loathe to spread the benefits too far. But it’s the same sentiments involved. 1) Conservatives ‘narrow the circle’ to nationalism. 2) Lefties just ‘expand the circle’. 3) Vegans and Jainists push the circle further to include all sentient life. In that sense the difference is only in ‘who pays and how much?’.

  • MacDonald’s Position

    Kevin MacDonald’s position is (I think) that our vulnerability is genetic, and while I think that’s probably partly true, because it’s back in the record forever, and the reason is we were all kin. But my position is that as in all OUR liberal (commercial) orders, the value of profit supersedes the value of self defense (which does not plague the far eastern civilizations), and christianity made it worse. In other words, universalism is a commercial utility but a genetic disease. As such my opinion is that any civilization can eventually develop trust if they produce the institutions and decrease the underclass population. And that western civilization must adopt the east’s strategy of self defense as a limit on profiting at the expense of genetic advantage.

    —“There are too many examples of how the short-sighted, or medium-sighted, values of our commercial elite conflict with the long-term values of the genetic and cultural group. This isn’t a new phenomenon but its effects have been amplified since the industrial revolution and our defenses have not kept pace with or adequately utilized the technological advances of the day. The influence of the commercial sector is vast and restraints on it are ineffective. An additional problem is that since the death of god and the disintegration of our religious institutions, we perceive profit in wholly materialistic terms. I think your emphasis on an expanded appreciation of property may be an antidote to this aspect of the problem.”— Tim Spillane

    Commercialism (Unregulated Capitalism) = Universalism at the expense of the people who make such commerce possible.
