THE AMORALITY OF PACIFISM


Although there is no single explanation for the plight of the European peoples and the ongoing destruction of Western civilisation, we can perhaps distinguish between two different categories of explanations. With regards to the actions of our globalist, Cultural Marxist, Jewish, and corporate elites, so-called "left-wing explanations" are most appropriate: here we are correct in speaking of a hostile and exploitative ruling class, busily engaged in running down the West for its own benefit. (Indeed, as Sean Gabb argues in Cultural Revolution, Culture War, the various Marxist and Marxist-derived critiques of Western society should be read backwards as "manifestos" of the oppressive, unprincipled and self-interested regimes that are invariably set up by the students of these critiques.)

However, underpinning the rule of this hostile elite - and preceding it in time - is a more longstanding and natively developed self-destructive mentality in Western white people (particularly the middle classes), which cannot reasonably be blamed on anyone other than those white people themselves. This mentality consists of a toxic pacifism and idealism which, even when distinct from pacifism as a political dogma, is generally obsessed with keeping the peace at all costs and furthering the delusional vision of a world in which strife between peoples has become a thing of the past. With regards to this phenomenon, it is "right-wing explanations" such as decadence, cultural effeteness and racial suicide that seem to ring true.

IS ETHNIC REPLACEMENT 'UNDEMOCRATIC'?

On the traditional conservative Right, it is a commonly-heard refrain that the introduction of mass immigration and multiculturalism into European nations – hereafter referred to in less euphemistic terms as “ethnic replacement”, for that it what it amounts to in practice – was and is fundamentally undemocratic. For example, we have the view of Patrick Buchanan, who states that:
“What is most significant about [ethnic replacement in the USA] is that the American people never voted for it and do not want it. It is being imposed from above, anti-democratically, by a regime that refuses to enforce our laws and is now at virtual war with the American people.”
