VI:
PERSONALITY
The
racialist philosophy is basically distinguished from the Marxist
philosophy by the fact that it not only recognizes the value of
race, but along with it the importance of personality, which it
therefore makes one of the pillars of its entire structure.
These are the
factors which sustain its view of life.

|
| Thus,
in principle, it embraces the basic aristocratic principle of Nature
and believes in the validity of this law down to the last individual.
It sees not only the different value of races, but also the different
value of individual men. From the mass it extracts the importance
of the person, and thus, in contrast to Marxism with its disorganizing
effect, it acts in an organizing way.
|
II:1 |
|
| The
Movement must promote respect for personality by every means. It
must never forget that in personal worth lies the worth of everything
human; that every idea and every achievement is the result of one
man’s creative force, and that the admiration of greatness constitutes
not only a tribute of thanks to the latter, but also casts a unifying
bond around the grateful. |
I:12 |
|
| It
is not the mass that invents and not the majority that organizes
or thinks, but in all things only and always the individual man,
the person. |

|
| To
renounce doing homage to a great spirit means the loss of an immense
strength which emanates from the names of all great men and women. |
I:12 |
|
| When
human hearts break and human souls despair, then from the twilight
of the past the great conquerors of distress and care, of disgrace
and misery, of spiritual bondage and physical constraint, look down
upon them and hold out their eternal hands to despairing mortals.
Woe to the people that is ashamed to grasp them. |
I:2 |
