X:
THE MOVEMENT
Into the
rotten and cowardly bourgeois world and into the triumphant march
of the Marxist wave of conquest a new power phenomenon was entering,
which at the eleventh hour would halt the chariot of doom.
|
II:
1 |
|
| At
a time when one side, armed with all the weapons of a worldview—a
thousand times criminal though it be—sets out to storm an existing
order, the other side, now and forever, can offer resistance only
if it clads itself in the forms of a new faith. . . and for a feeble,
cowardly defense substitutes the battle-cry of courageous and brutal
attack. |
II:1 |
|
| The
lack of a great renewing idea means at all times a limitation of
fighting force. Firm belief in the right to apply even the
most brutal weapons is always bound up with the existence of a fanatical
faith in the necessity for the victory of revolutionary New Order
on this Earth. |
II:9 |
|
| .
. . We see in the Swastika the mission of
the struggle for the victory of Aryan man and, by the same token,
the victory of the idea of creative work . . . |
II:7 |
|
| .
. . Every man must know that the new Movement can offer honor and
fame in the eyes of posterity, but nothing in the present. |
I:3 |
|
| .
. . A movement that wants to renew the world must serve, not the
moment, but the future. |
II:6 |
|
| It
can be established here that the greatest and most enduring successes
in history tend, for the most part, to be those which in their beginnings
found the least understanding because they stood in sharpest conflict
with general public opinion, with its ideas and its will. |
II:6 |
|
| But
our thoughts and actions must in no way be determined by the approval
or disapproval of our time, but by the binding obligation to a truth
which we have recognized. |
II:2 |
|
| We
National Socialists, as champions of a new philosophy of life, must
never base ourselves on so-called ‘accepted facts’—and false ones
at that. If we did, we would not be the champions of a great, new
idea, but coolies of the present-day lie. |
II:2 |
|
| We
National Socialists must never under any circumstances join in the
usual hurrah-patriotism of our present bourgeois world. |
II:14 |
|
| The
future of a movement is conditioned by the fanaticism—yes, the intolerance—with
which its supporters uphold it as the sole correct movement, and
push it past other formations of a similar sort. |
I:12 |
|
| .
. . There should be only one movement for one goal. |
II:8 |
|
| Here,
too, lies a mission for the National Socialist movement. It
must teach our people to look beyond trifles and see the biggest
things—not to split up over unimportant things—and never forget
that the aim for which we must fight today is the very existence
of our people, and the sole enemy which we must strike is and remains
the power which is robbing us of this existence. |
II:13 |
|
| All
the persecutions of the Movement and its individual leaders, all
vilifications and slanders, were powerless to harm it. The
correctness of its ideas, the purity of its will, its supporters’
spirit of self-sacrifice, have caused it to issue from all repressions
stronger than ever. If, in the world of our present parliamentary
corruption, it becomes more and more aware of the profoundest essence
of its struggle, feels itself to be the purest embodiment of the
value of race and personality and conducts itself accordingly, it
will—with almost mathematical certainty—one day emerge victorious
from its struggle. |
II:Con. |
