POLITICAL SUCCESS IN TEN EASY LESSONS
How would you react to a salesman, whom you last saw nearly five years ago, suddenly appearing on your doorstep with a widget? You vaguely remember him and you do think the widget’s a good idea. But you have only read negative reports about it and the company that makes it. Would you buy it?
Of course you wouldn’t. So why do racial-nationalist ‘political parties’ hope to achieve electoral success by selling themselves in this way?
Yes, every so often there’s an election and as far as the voters are concerned the door knocking parties that have been in hibernation for the last five years, shove a leaflet, knock on a door and expect people to buy it.
Even established parties with their massive funds, publicity machine, friends in high places and a compliant Press can’t attract more than a third of the votes. So how on earth can radical opposition movements denied these advantages compete? They can’t – unless they ride in to the fray on the Trojan horse.
PEOPLE BUY PEOPLE
I stood in a local election once. If I remember rightly I got 5.6% of the vote yet I didn’t even try to sell myself to the local population. All I did was ‘a leaflet bash’. What shocked my opponents was that scores of ordinary people were prepared to vote for a National Socialist less than a generation after the war’s end. So imagine what I might have achieved had I attempted to sell myself to the voters?
What is even more revealing. The guy I stood against was the only elected Communist Party local councillor in Britain. This was at a time when the Cold War and nuclear annihilation was on everyone’s mind.
Leaving aside the obvious differences what separated us as far as the voters were concerned? Sweat! That’s all.
When people voted for Colin Lee the Communist candidate they didn’t vote for the Communist Party, they voted for Colin Lee. That man to his eternal credit was the mother and father of his local constituency.
THE LOCAL GODFATHER
Long before he was ever elected Colin Lee knocked on doors and sold himself. He didn’t wait until an election was taking place like the other aspirants did. He took on the concerns of the neighbourhood; he was unstinting in his aims to improve (his) people’s lot.
If anyone had a problem he sorted it. Even before he was elected anyone who had a local or social services problem contacted Colin Lee, they never contacted the elected councillors who were supposed to represent them. They didn’t even know who they were. They were uncaring strangers who pressed the flesh only when they wantred votes.
It was hardly surprising then that Colin Lee when he finally stood for local election was voted into office. Those who voted for him couldn’t care less what badge he was wearing. When they voted for Colin Lee they voted in their own interests. Can you blame them? I think even I would have voted for Colin. Do you get my drift?
THE TEN GOLDEN RULES OF POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENT
Politics is all about selling; it works to the same rules – or at least it should. As with any other organisation selling itself, its product or service, it has to be organised and committed with a clear aim to achieve success. The Ten Golden Rules of Political Achievement are:
1. In your community be open and positive about your beliefs. Never be afraid of openness. Even my opponents have always respected me. You have nothing to fear.
2. Discuss your belief openly and make them as much a part of your life as say your favourite sport or job.
3. Show an interest in current affairs and comment from a European racial-nationalist perspective. You will friends.
4. Involve others; ask their opinion and win them over.
5. Join organisations, social or otherwise and become a working influential part of your community. Wonderful for networking. Promote your own kind. That is how the Jews assume power.
6. According to circumstances overtly or covertly infiltrate and influence local events. Use the apparatus of the organisations you infiltrate to your own ends.
7. Become a working part of the community, helping where you can. Don’t be a member of the community, be its mother and father.
8. Mock and deride political or ideological competition. It is hard to be a ‘socialist’ or ‘conservative’ when it makes you a figure of ridicule.
9. The salesmen’s golden rules. Know your ‘product’ so you can argue your points effectively. And remember, you will get what you want only when you convince the other man that he is going to get what he wants. Convince him that your beliefs are right, they are credible, and they are achievable.
10. Use the local Press (letters pages). The local Press is far less political than the national media and they thrive on controversial letters. Just make sure you know your subject and write with moderation, anticipating and thwarting likely negative replies.
It really is as simple as that. You should stop being a part time activist and you shouldn’t allow yourself to be isolated as an outsider. Get in there; sell yourself and then when you are in open the doors to your friends. Oh, and rule No.11? Do it now!
