The National Socialist Worldview
(Complete, Original Text)
By George Lincoln Rockwell (1958)
I.
WE BELIEVE that an honest man can never be happy in a
naked scramble for material gain and comfort, without any
goal which he believes is greater than himself, and for which he is
willing to sacrifice his own egotism. This goal was formerly provided by
fundamentalist religions, but science and subversion have so weakened
all traditional religions, and given Man such an unwarranted,
short-sighted conceit of his “power over Nature,” that he has, in
effect, become his own God. He is spiritually lost, even if he will not
yet admit it. We believe that the only realistic goal which can still
lift Man out of his present unhappy selfishness and into the radiance of
self-sacrificing idealism, is the upward struggle of his race and the
fight for the common good of his people.
II. WE
BELIEVE that society can function successfully, and
therefore happily, only as an organism:
that all parts benefit when each part performs the function for which it
is best suited to produce a unified, single-purpose whole,
which is then capable of outperforming any one part, the whole thus
vastly increasing the powers of all cooperating parts, and the parts
therefore subordinating a part of their freedom to the whole; that the
whole perishes and all parts therefore suffer whenever one part fails to
perform its own function, usurps the function or interferes with the
function of another part, or like cancer, devours all nourishment and
grows wildly and selfishly out of all proportion to its task – which
latter is exactly the effect on society of the Jews and their parasitic
Marxism.
III. WE
BELIEVE that man makes a genuine progress only when he
approaches Nature humbly, and accepts and applies her eternal laws, instead
of arrogantly assuming to ignore and conquer Nature, as do the Marxists,
with the environmentalism, special laws of biological equality for
humans only, and insane denial of the primitive and fundamental
institution of private property.
IV. WE
BELIEVE that struggle is the vital element of
all evolutionary progress and the very essence of life itself; that
it is the only method whereby we have won and can maintain dominion over
the other animals of the Earth; that we must therefore welcome struggle
as a means of testing and improving us, and that we must despise
weakling who run from struggle. We believe that life itself is awarded
by Nature only to those who fight and win it, not to those who beg for
it as a “right.”
V.
WE BELIEVE that no man is entitled to the services and products of the
labor of his fellow men, unless he contributes at least an equal
amount of goods or services of his own production or invention. We
believe that the contribution by a member of society of nothing
else but the tokens called “money” is a fraud upon his fellows,
and does not excuse a man capable of honest work of his responsibility
to produce his share.
VI. WE BELIEVE that it is to
the advantage of society to see that every honest man has the freedom
and opportunity to achieve his maximum potential by
preserving his health, protecting him from unforeseeable and ruinous
catastrophes, educating him to capacity in the areas of his abilities,
and guarding him against economic and political exploitation.
VII.
WE BELIEVE that Adolf Hitler was the gift of an inscrutable Providence
to a world on the brink of Jewish-Bolshevik catastrophe, and
that only the blazing spirit of this heroic man can give us the strength
and inspiration to rise, from the depths of persecution and hatred, to
bring the world a new birth of radiant idealism, realistic peace,
international order and social justice for all men.
These seven principles are the rock of our faith. With them we shall move the world.
The “political program” that we adopt, based on these principles, can and will change as events and facts change; as we discover better methods. But these seven principles are, for us, fundamental, absolute and timeless Truth. They will not change.
We bind ourselves permanently and without reservation to these ideals,
and the battle to establish them as the only scientific and realistic
basis for human society.
