Folk Formation in North America

By Martin Kerr
 

NATIONAL SOCIALISTS OWE THEIR ULTIMATE LOYALTY to the whole of the Aryan race, regardless of national borders or geography, and anyone whose loyalty lies elsewhere is not a National Socialist, whatever his general racial or political sympathies may be. Yet, although loyalty to the race takes precedence whenever a conflict of duties or obligations may arise, that loyalty to Aryan humanity in its entirety is not the only bond of loyalty which binds the National Socialist because the race has structure.

Rather, we should think of concentric rings of loyalties: a National Socialist’s first duty is to himself, to live a clean and upright life, in keeping with the commands of his inner voice. Next, his duty lies with his immediate family, and beyond that to his extended family or clan, and so on with other widening rings until the Race itself is encompassed, to which he owes his supreme allegiance. The circle of loyalty that comes right before that of the Race is the Folk, or people.

The concept of the Folk has always been of supreme importance to National Socialist thought, because the Folk is the primary unit of political, cultural and social organization in Europe. American National Socialists, however, have almost completely ignored the concept, and instead have focused almost exclusively on the Race as a whole, Certainly, this is true of rank-and-file American National Socialists, and except recently and in a minor way, it has been true of the leadership as well. The reason for this is that there is no White American folk.

American Whites are not a folk in the European sense of the term: the Danish folk, the Scottish folk, the English folk, the German folk, and so forth.

We lack the deep history, shared experience and cultural homogeneity of our European cousins. However, there are some regional groupings of American Whites which are folks in formation - proto-folks, if you will. These include New Englanders, Deep Southerners, Appalachians, Ozarkians and the Québécois.

• New England: Territory: The states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont. Approximately 72,000 square miles in size. Total population 15 million, 81 percent White.

• Deep South: Territory: The states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, and parts of Florida, Texas, and Arkansas. Approx. 550,000 square miles. Its total population is estimated at 30 million people, about 60 percent of whom are White.

• Appalachia: Territory: All of West Virginia and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. 206,000 square miles. Some 88 percent are White, out of a total population of 27 million.

• The Ozarks: The Ozark mountains are located in Central and Southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. "Ozarkia" comprises about 50,000 square miles (which makes it larger than either Scotland or Denmark). The White folks there are primarily of English, Scotch-Irish & German descent, although there are also some Swedes, Italians & other European nationalities represented as well. The population is just under 600,000; over 85 percent of Ozarkians are White.

• Quebec, Canada: Another important North American White ethnicity are the inhabitants of Quebec, known as the Québécois. They are in an advanced state of folk formation. Just as the Afrikaner folk in South Africa are largely the descendants of the Dutch, so the Québécois are mostly of French origin. Territory: 506,000 square miles. The total population is a little over 9 million, of whom about 75 percent are White.

As of 2025, none of these groups constitute a full-fledged folk in the European sense of the word, although the Québécois come close. I expect, however, that as the United States and Canada come to an end as political entities, these White ethnicities will come into their own as American Aryan folks.
