Beyond Hate
By Matt Koehl
Nowhere has the National Socialist position been more distorted and misconstrued than in the field of race relations. Not only has this poisoned the well of public discourse and prevented meaningful dialogue and understanding, but by creating a climate of falsehood and deceit, it has encouraged a parody of genuine National Socialism — with those who hate Aryankind then employing the antics of ersatz "Nazis" to reinforce the most negative of stereotypes. To set the record straight, we present the following commentary, which first appeared in the NS BULLETIN, Number _339, Fourth Quarter 1999 / JdF-110.

AS NATIONAL SOCIALISTS and followers of Adolf Hitler, we are regularly accused of "hate" by our adversaries. Our sin seems to be that we love our race and want to see it preserved.
It is rather ironic that those
who would like to see the White race disappear are the first to accuse
us of the very sickness that corrodes their own souls. In a clinical
manifestation of projection psychology, they attribute to others that
which they themselves embody.
Indeed, these paragons of
brotherhood and love — many of whom style themselves as "Chosen" —
reveal the depth of their hatred by embarking on the first step toward
actual genocide of a people, i.e., by denying its very identity and
existence.
"There is no such thing as an
Aryan," they shriek, all the while deliberately working to undermine the
cultural heritage and biological integrity of that which they claim does
not exist.
The judgment of the Almighty
will, of course, one day fall upon this vile and baneful breed, and the
land will be purged of its wickedness. Until such time, how are we to
respond to the pathological hatred of such ilk? Should we imitate its
behavior and in so doing reinforce the most hateful and noxious
stereotypes about "Nazis"?
If so, then one can only ask
how this will bring us closer to the better world we seek. Will it win
the hearts and minds of those we need to achieve victory? Or will it
further alienate them from us? The answer is quite obvious.
As a strategy, "hate" is
counterproductive. As a pathology, it is puerile and sick. It is a
self-serving indulgence that repulses precisely that sound and decent
segment of our race which we need to win over for a better world.
Hate may serve the cathartic
purpose of allowing one to blow off steam from time to time. It may
enable someone without hope to feel a little better, making his
miserable life a bit more bearable; but it is a poor substitute for
faith and love. It is a crutch of the weak and hopeless, of those
without confidence in the new world that is coming. And it accomplishes
nothing.
If one's hatred of others is
greater than one's love of one's own, then we have a problem. Then, for
all the bombast and bluster, all the fuming and fury, we are left with
nothing but a psychopathic condition. In no event do we have an asset in
the struggle for the creation of a better world.
Hate is not the hallmark of a
master race. Rather, it is a handmaiden of anxiety, fear, resentment and
— inferiority. Not only does it blur the vision
and upset the inner balance, but it testifies to a lack of faith and
confidence in our coming victory.

BUT WHY should we really whine
and complain in the first place? Why should we blame Jews, blacks, or
anyone else for the shortcomings, failures and decadence of our own
race? To the extent that others are merely doing what comes naturally,
why should we be surprised or point a finger of accusation? The real
question is: Why aren't Whites themselves behaving as Nature intended?
Why do they complain about
Jewish control of the media, for instance, and then waste precious hours
transfixed before the tube, as it subtly scrambles their brains and
dulls their senses? Why do they complain about blacks, and then ape
"cool" inner-city styles and fashions and idolize negroidal entertainers
and sports "heroes?” And why do they complain that politicians dwelling
in the houses of ill repute at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue are
crooks, and then shuffle off to the polling stalls at regular intervals
to select the "lesser of two evils," thus sustaining the whole corrupt,
anti-white system?
The fact is that but for their
own sins of omission, Whites would not be in their present predicament.
If they were to assume
responsibility and
take charge of their own destiny — instead of leaving it to others by
default — there would no longer be anything to complain about. But that
takes effort, involvement, initiative and sacrifice — as well as perhaps
a tad of courage. Much easier to bemoan one's fate and blame those
others.
So why is there any need for
hate?
"And nothing on Earth consumes
a man more quickly than the passion of resentment," Nietzsche once wrote
(Ecce Homo, I:6). What message was the
philosopher trying to convey?
When a mosquito bites us, do
we brood in sullen resentment? If a cockroach invades our kitchen, do we
sulk and go into a state of deep depression? If rats infest our
basement, do we wring our hands and waste time telling everyone how bad
such rodents are?
Indeed, is it necessary at all
that one hate such creatures? All one has to do is simply deal with
them. How, then, should we deal with those existential problems
confronting our race?
War with those who would
undermine and destroy our race is perfectly natural and inevitable. And
in such a conflict, righteous rage certainly has its place. But such
rage is not to be confused with the self-absorption of mindless hate.
For it is a rage borne of burning love for one's own kind — a focused rage,
resolute and relentless, aimed like a laser for the greater glory and
triumph of HIS Cause.

IN MODERN TIME there was a man
who came into the world to redeem his people and to show Aryankind a
better way. As he began his ministry, he gave the world a sign. And with
that sign he announced a most profound love.
Today, the most hated figure
in the world is our Leader, Adolf
Hitler. Why is
he so hated? Why is this man, who came for the restoration of truth and
righteousness, so reviled and defamed? Is it because, as our enemies
allege, he was so evil and bad?
If we pause for a moment to
consider who his enemies are — who our enemies are — the answer becomes
readily apparent: Adolf Hitler is hated not because he is so bad, but rather
because he is so good! In his presence the evildoers of this world
tremble and are made afraid. But he who is so hated by the wicked and
profane becomes the most beloved of his disciples. And because they so
love him, a New Order shall be given unto them.
No one ever loved his people
more profoundly than did Adolf Hitler. He gave us an example, which we
are to follow. And so, in embracing this most hated of men, there is no
need for us to hate. For it is HE who has taken the hatred of the world
upon himself.
Therefore, let us go forth and
preach love, love for our Leader and love for
his Cause, as well as love for our race — indeed, love for every worthy
creature — and let the hatred of our enemies come
to us! For in
coming to us it shall, like spring rain, water the seed of our Faith,
enabling it to sprout and grow, and lead to its fruition.
