Revolution against Nationalism and the Collective

 

Modern era in Europe saw a rise in new forms of Ideas, which were a counter to then prevailing Christian Values and Systems. Some of these Ideas were,  Liberalism, Republicanism, Socialism, etc. One such idea was Nationalism. It is Nationalism to which we owe existence of the modern Nation-States. But what are these Nation-States but a self-destructive might, a Hobbesian Leviathan?

Nations are that rat-king which ties even the absolute strangers with a sap and restricts them from their own individuality and ever knowing their self. They destruct everything in their way like a sea-monster. They are like a Vritra, an enemy to the Gods and the People. It is only an Indra which can defeat such serpent. Like a God, an ultimate individualist defeating that Leviathan.

Nation imposes upon the individual spirit, the collective will of confirmity which degrades and prevents not just the growth of an individual, but also of the society as whole. If an individual wills to grow himself, he must rebel against that confirmity and order. Be his own spirit and achieve freedom in this world. That war we declare upon confirmity is not necessarily a conflict against social order, but a conflict within. It is the fight for righeous claim of one's self over the external collective and for that individual, the self shall triumph.

These Ideas of Individuality applies only upon a few, those of an Aristocratic soul. The others fail at the might of this Social Structure. Those brave Aristocratic Spirits breach through it and declare themselves the conqueror. The cultures of past were great in this essence; for they were structured for producing great and heroic beings. They emphasized upon Aristocraticness. Great were those who could prove it, through their might and intellect; thus they were an Aristocrat.

Modern cultures, on the other hand emphasize on creating averageness. This can be reflected from the Education system. Modern Education System is aimed at reducing an intellectual and one of an Aristocratic Spirit to the level of an average person. They are then thrown in market to serve as machines to Industrialists who clearly lack rational grounds to be on such positions except an artificial wealth. For those of aristocratic spirit, it is thus necessary to revolt against the modern order and artificality that prevails.

The Revolution we advocate is far different from the French and Russian Revolutions. The assumptions and predictions of philosophies that these revolutions were based on, turned out to be false when applied. As was the case with Russian Revolution for instance which aimed at creating a more egalitarian society but failed at it when the existence of a Bureaucratic system came into being.

We are not based on such falsifiable assumptions as we believe that Revolutions only led to a change of Social Elite, not the abandonment of it. State or the Bourgeios replaced the ancient feudal lords as was the case with Socialist and Capitalist Countries respectively. We believe that the masses never actually get power on a large scale. Although we do recognize that masses can certainly exercise significant powers in local matters, which is in benefit of not just the masses but also of the aristocratic order.

One might argue that on what grounds do we propose such a revolution when nothing changes at all except the change of elites. To that we would present two counter-argument. 

    • Firstly, the core of our beliefs say that a rule of masses is certainly possible but only at a small or local level, for such we advocate a direct democratic form with advise from the most educated of that local culture; Whereas on the larger state as it would be, we advocate an aristocratic system comprising of those who earn it through their deeds, not through a democratic means or through a hereditary means.
    • Secondly, the modern elite system is based not on Aristocraticness but purely on material wealth therefore being what the ancients would say, an Oligarchy, a corrupted form of Aristocracy.

Aristocratic system is certainly a better form of Politics as it ensures quick decision making by reducing the number of argumentations; otherwise is the case with Democracies. It also ensures that only the worthy uphold the position of power, based on their intellect, ethics and reasoning in domestic affairs; and strategicness on the battlefields.
