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.
