F. Roger Devlin, American
Renaissance, June 21, 2013– The new direction for white activism. Those
who attended the 2013 American Renaissance conference saw a change in
mood and emphasis from previous gatherings—probably the result of
watching Barack Obama coast to reelection with just 39% of the white
vote. The new feeling is that the strategy of “awakening” whites and
gaining power through democratic electoral means is not working. The
demographic shift is too fast and our own progress is too slow; the
opportunities we thought we saw are vanishing, and a strategic
reorientation is becoming inevitable.
This reorientation will be toward the
creation of autonomous white territories that can eventually become
independent states, and Arthur Kemp’s Nova Europa is a fine introduction
to this subject. The starting point and greatest strength of his
thinking is a firm grasp of the territorial nature of politics. In Mr.
Kemp’s own words:
Political power comes from physical occupation: not historical rights, not title deeds, not moral rights—only occupation. Those people who occupy a territory determine the nature of the society in that region.
In Mr. Kemp’s view, a failure to
recognize this reality was the Achilles heel of South Africa’s apartheid
system. The Afrikaner electorate believed that a stable European
society could be built in a majority-black territory, and that with the
right laws they could enjoy forever the benefits of cheap black labor
while preventing blacks from determining the nature of South African
society. Far from preventing black majority rule, this system was an
incubator for it. Apartheid made whites dependent on blacks, even as it
multiplied the numbers of blacks.
Immigrant “rioting” in Europe today is
also to a large extent a political struggle over territory, an attempt
by hostile aliens to impose their own sovereignty in areas where they
are the majority. Like apartheid, the multicultural thinking that led to
mass immigration is a fantasy because it ignores the fundamentally
territorial nature of political power.

So what must whites do to ensure their
physical and cultural survival? They must establish homelands where they
are the majority and can protect their racial and cultural integrity.
Blacks have many such homelands; the Chinese have a homeland; even Jews
now have a homeland. Only white people no longer have a place to call
home, and that is why only our survival is threatened.
When mainstream journalists discuss
demographic change, they like to call it “the mass movement of peoples,”
a conveniently neutral phrase that masks the reality that all this
“movement” is in one direction—into white homelands. Although many
whites are unaware of it, the norm in most of the world is for dominant
majorities to enjoy special legal protections. As Mr. Kemp notes:
Japan, China, India, most sub-Saharan African states, most north African states, most middle-Eastern states and, of course, Israel, are ethnostates with varying degrees of legal enforcement designed to ensure that they keep their homogeneity.
This sensible policy prevents ethnic conflicts before they can arise.
Even many white liberals favor such
policies—as long as the beneficiaries are not white. They will happily
help protect the Tibetans or the Indian tribes of the Amazon from alien
incursion. Why is it so difficult for such people to see that it is fair
and right for their own race to enjoy the same protections?

A cause any liberal can support.
Europeans today even fit the definition of those who wear the ultimate badge of fashionable victimhood, indigenous people.
Europeans have a continuous historical link with a particular
territory, are characterized by large degree of homogeneity, and are
being colonized by aliens.
“Indigenous homelands,” in which natives
enjoy special status and protection, have been established all over the
world. Brazil alone has 672 such territories; tiny Belize has found
room for eight; and dozens more can be found in Australia, Canada, the
United States, India, Pakistan and all over Latin America. The United
Nations has issued a “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”
and maintains a “Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.”
The permanent forum would do well to
expand its horizons. As Mr. Kemp points out, for several decades now the
tables have been turned, and Europeans are in retreat from the peoples
they once colonized. Mr. Kemp offers the following facts:
• More than half the residents of Brussels, the “capital of Europe,” are of Third-World origin.
• In 2012, 53 percent of children in Viennese schools were of immigrant origin.
• In the United States, by 2019 a majority of schoolchildren will be non-white.
• The foreign population of Spain rose from 3.2 percent in 1996 to 13.4 percent 11 years later.
• According to a 2004 study, there were
14 million persons of foreign ancestry in France, more than 20 percent
of the population.
• In 2009, the Dutch government reported that about 20 percent of the population had “non-Western” roots.
• A 2011 census revealed that the white share of the British population is falling by nearly 8 percent of the total each decade.

As Mr. Kemp notes, “there is currently
no area on earth which has been specifically set aside for European
people.” Why aren’t the heirs of Western civilization being afforded
protections routinely granted to the hunter-gatherers of the Amazon
jungle?
It cannot be because such protection
would be “white supremacy.” This fashionable bogeyman—imagining for a
moment that anybody really advocated it—would be incompatible with the
ethnic nationalism Mr. Kemp advocates: “self-determination specifically
eschews the claim to rule over others.” Mr. Kemp—a strong critic of
apartheid—argues that the demand for black self-rule in South Africa
validates white self-rule in Europe and North America.
Nor must a program of territorial
independence involve any claim to superiority. Mr. Kemp argues that “the
contribution of European man to the world and the well-being of all
people is unsurpassed,” but he demands no more for his own people than
he would be prepared to grant to pygmies or bushmen.
So far, resistance to mass, non-white
immigration has come from nationalist political parties, which have
tried to enter government through democratic means. Nowhere have they
achieved much success. This is largely because Western democracy has, in
Mr. Kemp’s words, “turned into rule by the wealthy elite and powerful
lobbies.” While mass immigration is unpopular among ordinary Europeans,
social and political elites are fanatically committed to it.
Furthermore, non-whites everywhere vote
as a block for the most pro-immigrant parties. Whites not only do not
vote along racial lines, but even view such block-voting as somehow
morally wrong. This means it is unlikely that any nationalist party will
attain power within the brief time whites can be expected to retain
their majorities.
Whites must not reject democratic
participation. As Mr. Kemp writes, it “remains the best and easiest way
to spread the message of ethnonationalism, which is vital for any
potential solution to the crisis.” A nationalist party might yet come to
power in one or more European countries and reverse the demographic
crisis. Even if it occurred in only a single small country, such a
development would send shock waves across the continent. The elites have
good reason to fear nationalist parties.

The Greek political party Golden Dawn has attracted significant support.
But white patriots must adopt new
avenues of action as well. Specifically, Mr. Kemp believes they must
start building autonomous European communities wherever it is
practically possible to do so, and ultimately create a European
ethnostate (or states).
The great advantage of creating European
communities is that it does not require winning over majorities.
Meaningful concrete steps can be taken today by the minority of whites
who understand the looming catastrophe. Eventually, such communities
could become states. These communities would eventually draw from around
the world Europeans who understand the genocidal consequences of
multiculturalism. And where else will even liberals find neighborhoods
with “good schools” and “low crime?”
The South African town of Orania is a
good example of what whites must do. A small minority of Afrikaners have
long shared Mr. Kemp’s view that white reliance on black labor was
ultimately responsible for the downfall of white South Africa. In 1990,
as the demise of apartheid visibly approached, a group of white pioneers
bought the deserted village of Orania in the Northern Cape Province for
a nominal fee. They chose the town’s barren and seemingly unpromising
location for good reasons.
The Northern Cape, with its sparse
population, presented the only area of South Africa which could
effectively be colonized by Afrikaners with the least amount of
disruption to the rest of the country. In 2010, the entire Northern Cape
had only 2.3% of the country’s population. Majority Afrikaner
occupation could be achieved with only 500,000 or so Afrikaners moving
to the area.

A statue of Hendrik Verwoerd, the “architect of Apartheid,” overlooks Orania.
The town was founded on three
principles: the Oranians were to have their own land, use only their own
labor, and create their own institutions. From around two dozen
pioneers, it has grown to a current population of over 1,500. The town
boasts two schools and seventy local businesses, and is “possibly the
only local authority in all South Africa which actually balanced its
books in 2012.”
In 2004, Orania introduced its own
currency, the Ora, which is a valid method of payment within the town
borders. The Ora trades on par with the South African Rand and is
underwritten by the local savings and credit union. The new currency
keeps money within the community.

“Welcome to Orania. Pay with the Ora.”
In 2012, the British Sunday Times, a paper not noted for white advocacy, had this to say about Orania:
Building sites are everywhere. Plots of land that went for £1,000 four years ago now change hands for £20,000. There are supermarkets, all manner of other shops, a doctor, dentist, lawyers, architects, two schools and a radio station. Orania has organised many trips to Israel to study Israeli farming techniques—the Israelis too have made the desert bloom. Orania exports jewelry to the whole of South Africa, air-freighted vegetables to British supermarkets and pecan nuts to China. The community is probably the greenest in South Africa: all farming is organic, everything is recycled and alternative energy is used whenever possible. People leave their keys in their cars, live with their doors open and children play, unmonitored, in the street until dark.A home in Orania with a solar hot water heater.
The Sunday Times reports that the
Orania Council pays a £1,000 ($1,600) grant for every child born in the
town. Local guide John Strydom says: “Recently growth has become
explosive. It’s stretching us in every sinew. Our present land can house
25,000 people, but of course we’ll buy more land.” Not everyone thinks
this is the best course; town founder Carel Boshoff says: “Expansion
here may not be the right way. We need another Orania on the West
Coast.”
The town’s greatest obstacle remains
convincing fellow-Afrikaners to give up the short-term advantages of
“cheap” black labor. As Mr. Kemp notes, white pioneers outside South
Africa would not have this problem.

Another case study Mr. Kemp recommends
is Israel, the world’s only avowed ethnostate. Theodor Hertzel was not
the first to advocate a modern Jewish nation, but his 1896 book The
Jewish State offered the first coherent plan for one.
The very next year the First Zionist
Congress met in Basel to promote colonization. In 1901, the Jewish
National Fund was created to buy land in Palestine. At the same time, a
formal office for the Zionist Organization was established in Palestine
to develop Jewish agriculture, settlement, education, land, finance, and
immigration.
In 1917, Britain’s “Balfour Declaration”
gave formal recognition at the international level of the Zionist
effort and undertook to set aside parts of Palestine for a national home
for the Jewish people. By 1923, 40,000 Jews had migrated to Palestine;
by 1939 another 382,000 had arrived; several hundred thousand more came
during the war and the early post-war period. On 14 May 1948, the state
of Israel declared independence. All this happened within 53 years of
Herzl’s publishing his tract!

Theodor Hertzel
Whites can learn a great deal from the
Zionist example, not all of it positive. Israel illustrates the danger
of choosing a territory that requires displacement of a different (and
subsequently hostile) group. If the territory we select is not largely
empty, like South Africa’s Northern Cape, then it must already have a
strong white majority.
On the positive side, as Mr. Kemp notes,
the Zionist movement demonstrated good practical sense in providing
prospective settlers with economic opportunities.
People—even the most ideologically
dedicated—will not move anywhere unless they are able to earn a living.
The Zionists knew that once the small beachhead had been established,
the very first priority was to create a substantial infrastructure which
would provide newcomers with a means to make a living.
Orania, by contrast, got off to a slow
start because it did not have anything comparable. For the first several
years it attracted only affluent retirees.
What about Europeans?
Ironically, there are more people of
European descent alive today than ever before in history. Yet, in the
face of hostile non-white intrusion the majority seem capable of nothing
more than running away to the ever-diminishing “good neighborhoods”
left in their countries. As Mr. Kemp writes, “a ‘mass exodus’ to a
European homeland, if it comes at all, will come only long after the
formerly European nations are totally overrun.” Even then, many whites
would rather disappear through childlessness, miscegenation, or eventual
physical extermination by the more violent elements of other races.
Mr. Kemp notes that there are many
whites–“ignorant, apathetic, small-minded whites”–we will never save.
“Brutally put,” he writes, “we are better off without them.”
The most difficult step in creating a
European ethnostate, then, is mustering the will. Once a significant
number of whites achieves this, the next step would be the creation of a
colonization company that would coordinate fundraising, buy land,
create businesses, and organize immigration. Mr. Kemp notes that many
professional services can now be delivered from anywhere on earth. The
revolution in communications technology means setting up colonies would
be much easier than in the Age of Exploration.
After mustering the political will, the
second most difficult question is choosing and colonizing a territory.
There are two approaches. One is to select a small town or region within
an existing threatened Western state. The goal would be to build up a
series of towns or regions that could at a later stage form a
contiguous, independent state.

Kleinfontein is another Afrikaner enclave in South Africa. It has 1,000 residents.
Colonization efforts should be directed
toward filling a region with racially conscious Europeans attuned to the
project, not simply relying on an existing white population; there is
no use in having a European majority, as in Vermont, for example, that
is hostile to the project. For more on this strategy, I recommend John
Hunt Morgan’s article “Building White Communities” in the November, 2004
issue of American Renaissance.
The other approach is to target a
demographically suitable and receptive nation. Eastern Europe is
promising. Apart from significant Gypsy and Turkish populations,
non-whites tend to comprise no more than two percent in the region.
Russia’s non-European population is significant, but largely
concentrated in the South and Siberia. Of course, Eastern Europe owes
its freedom from mass non-white immigration to its isolation as part of
the Soviet bloc and to its relative poverty. As it recovers and
prospers, it will attract immigrants. On the other hand, many of these
countries are suspicious of Western liberalism, and some even have
governments that are aware of European decline and low birth rates.
Ultimately, as Herzl wrote, the
territory will be determined by what can be realistically obtained and
by common consensus among those who want to create the ethnostate.
Finally, Mr. Kemp reminds us:
[T]he demand for a European homeland is nothing less than the right which is accorded all other peoples on earth. If it is presented fairly, without hate or denigration of others, it will find accord with reasonably-minded people of all races.

My wife and I discuss this very idea regularly. I look on in admiration at the German Nationalist 'villages' springing up, where only socio-political like minded people are 'encouraged' to stay and those who are not, are 'encouraged' to move on. We dream of living in such a community and I am sure we are not isolated in this dream! My deepest wish is for this to happen in my own lifetime, where we can enjoy daily life without having to suffer the presence of the mud races. Without dreams, hope is lost. With hope comes plans and actions ...
This is our LAST chance to survive like a nation.
