Censorship, Democracy and National-Socialism
By David Myatt
Why Censorship Is Wrong - A Personal View
Censorship is wrong for one simple reason: because those in authority who censor things are treating people like children. Real freedom means letting individuals judge things for themselves. Real freedom means allowing individuals to exercise judgment. Censorship, of whatever kind and from whatever motive, is a denial of freedom because real freedom is not about personal choice or even about individual "rights" - it is about being able to develope personal character and being able to make one's own judgement. To be able to judge a thing, it is necessary have factual, accurate knowledge about that thing and this factual, unbiased knowledge is the first thing that suffers when there is any form of censorship.
One of the duties of a noble State, a noble, free soci
ety, is to foster individuals of character - to deve
lope a proper, or right, character in individuals. This means encouraging and allowing individuals to develope and exercise the faculty of judgement. If individuals have a good, a noble, personal character then they know or can judge what is good and what is bad.
One of the most fundamental principles of National-Socialism is that individuals can change themselves for the better through an act of will. That is, National-Socialism accepts that individuals can change - they can develope, evolve, mature, through striving to uphold noble ideals such as personal honour.
Genuine National-Socialism, as I have tried to express many times over the past few years, is about individuals willingly co-operating together for their common, mutual good. Genuine National-Socialism arises when individuals, motivated by idealism and believing in personal honour, band together to: (1) strive to create a better way of life for themselves and (2)
strive to convert others to this idealism and this personal hon
our. These individuals feel the same way - they share the same hopes and aspirations: they believe in the same things and want to share their hopes and aspirations with others.
Genuine National-Socialism abhors coercion and "terror" - for such things are ignoble. A genuine National-Socialist society, a Reich, is society where all or the vast majority of people support National-Socialism: they believe in and uphold the ideals and principles of National-Socialism. If the majority of people do not do this, then it is not a National-Socialist society.
Furthermore, I sincerely believe that a Reich must allow the individuals within it the chance to develope and exercise their personal judgement. If this means that some of them decide to oppose National-Socialism and its ideals then those individuals must have the freedom to leave that Reich and live elsewhere. Being positive and noble, National-Socialism believes that the major
ity, given the choice and presented with all the unbiased facts, would choose
National-Socialism - the struggle for National-Socialism today is simply the struggle to inform our people of what National-Socialism is and so allow them the freedom to choose. I for one know that were the majority of our people allowed to hear the case for National-Socialism presented by genuine National-Socialists then they would choose to follow this noble Aryan way of living.
However, today, we National-Socialists are prevented by a tyrannical System from presenting our case - the agents and lackeys of this System are the greatest censors in the history of civilization. I know that the enemies of National-Socialism realize our case is unanswerable and that the majority of our people would support our noble idealism, given the chance - for otherwise our enemies would not be so afraid of allowing us to speak in public and distribute our literature. So it is that they persecute us, ban our literature and meetings and censo
r any medium, like the Internet, which offers us to chance to present our cas
e.
Personally, I am not interested in trying to convince others that National-Socialist Germany was not as portrayed by our enemies. That is, I am not bothered about what our enemies say or write about NS Germany being a "terror" State, built upon censorship and coercion. I know that NS Germany was a real folk-democracy, with Adolf Hitler enjoying the support and indeed having the love of the majority of the German people.
What personally interests me is the future - creating a new Reich based upon the ideals and principles of National-Socialism. We have to start again, from the beginning, and build a new society composed entirely of individuals who are National-Socialists - who believe in National-Socialism, body and soul. Our aim is not and cannot be to take-over an existing society and coerce, or try to force our people to support us - they must willingly and wholeheartedly support us or we shall not have
a real National-Socialist society.
If this means our new society is at first small - s
ay perhaps a few thousand, or tens of thousands, then so be it! We do not need a "nation" of millions of people to make our ideals real. The greatness of the civilization of ancient Greece was built upon a few folk communities, such as Athens, which numbered tens of thousands at most. It is the quality of the people which matters, not the quantity.
This new society of ours, this Reich, will and must be a genuine free society where censorship is unknown.
