Political Manifesto of the Golden Dawn
Hello everyone. While I was roaming on stormfront, looking for some good laughs, I found a translation of the Political Manifesto of the Golden Dawn translated to English. The original poster translated it himself and this is the only translation according to him. I thought I could post it here for the people who are interested:
'Ταυτότητα (political identity)
GOLDEN DAWN is a social and nationalist movement with structures, principles and positions. It is active in the political life of the country since the mid-90s, having taken part in European elections (1994, 2009) and national elections (1996, 2009). On 7 November 2010 the Golden Dawn participated in the municipal elections. In the recent election of June 17, 2012 it received 7% and elected 18 MPs.
The social nationalist movement of GOLDEN DAWN finds itself at the frontline of the struggle against the nation-killing memorandum and the sinful regime of the parties that consist the political establishment. We fight against altering our racial demographics by the millions of illegal immigrants, and the dissolution of the Greek society promoted by both the coalition parties and the so-called left. We propose a national strategy so that we can overcome the crisis imposed on our country. We are struggling for a Greece which belongs to the Greeks.
WHAT BEING A GOLDEN-DAWNER MEANS
1) I embrace the third major ideology of history, the one that is the most rooted in the history of my people. Opposed both to communist internationalism and universalism-liberalism.
2) I embrace the need for a state founded and built based on this ideology that nourishes and guides continuously our lives as individuals and as a society. A state that constantly serves the eternal revolutionary principles of the nationalist worldview, with the ultimate goal of forming a new society and a new type of man.
3) I embrace the moral imperatives arising from my worldview and aim to a radical renewal of the obsolete and counterfeit social values. My ideology is not looking to salvage anything from the installed economic and social interests that lead nations, peoples and cultures in decline. So I'm an enemy of every power that perpetuates this sepsis that finds foothold in plutocracy. Whether this power is a military-financial dictatorship or a parliamentary dictatorship. Because those are the two sides of the same coin, and their purpose is tearing down national identity.
4) I 'm aware that nationalism is the only absolute and true revolution because it seeks the birth of new ethical, spiritual, social and mental values. The right and left solutions supposedly fighting each other, are just a fake theater of two partners who perpetuate the dominance of cosmopolitan internationalists, anti-national and anti-social forces.
5) I believe the only state that serves correctly it's historical role is the social state, where political power comes from the people, without party promoters. Nationalism sees people not only as a numerical entity of individuals but as a qualitative synthesis of people with the same biological and spiritual heritage, which is the source of all creation and expresses its power in the social state. The only state that can represent the people as an organic and spiritual living whole.
6) The polticians on both the right and the left are deliberately lying, democracy means rule of the people, and therefore the society that is comprised of people of common origin (definition of Citizen in Classical Athens). The social state of nationalism is the only direct democracy. The state were the people are the only reality and do not need authority but leadership. The People are the real sovereign and rule themselves through their leader. So the social state can fulfill the only possible equality (derived from thought and that is not of natural, but human cultural - political creation), equal opportunities. In contrast to the transient and fleeting majority of parliamentary governing, the will of the people is the supreme law, and obedience to it results in true justice from the whole to every unit. ......
7) I realize that in the social state of the nationalist ideology exists the ultimate equality and the politically structured social equality. In the social state there is no social stratification based on income-economic classes. The social classes are collaborating organically groups of people with different abilities and production skills each, just like in a living body. The different systems contribute harmonically and in full cooperation for their survival. Solidarity is the rule of the social state for the relations between social-organic classes. The few people who have burgled their organic relationship with the people are the members of "plutocratic oligarchy" with their cosmopolitanism, and members of the leading groups of "Bolshevik party-union oligarchy" with their internationalism. The oligarchies of money and the tyranny of political parties are the same- enemies of the Nation and the People.
8) I am an enemy of vast exploitative wealth, either locally or internationalist, and a champion of small family ownership like the "kleros" or "temenos" of our ancestors. Money is a mean of necessity, not a governing principle of life or the purpose of it. The ultimate goal of the social state is the elimination of tiered false-value of money and the controlled use of it as a trading mean. The state should have control over private property so that it is not dangerous for the survival of the People or can manipulate them. The economy should be planned so that it serves the national policy and ensures the maximum self-sufficiency without dependence on international markets and control of any multinational companies.
9) I believe that the state, the social state, is the political organization of the nation and that the nation exists from itself without being an invention. It is an automatic spiritual fact that springs from the existence of the People, it is a reality that is based on the existence of the People. Whether or not the People realize the extent and depth of its
existence, the Nation is the highest spiritual entity. The People are born from the tribes, the types of a race and its existence gives birth to the nation as a superior spiritual manifestation (moral, cultural, religious). Derived from the people, the nation - race, needs to be strengthened and developed through the state. It may exist without a state but will be steadily declining (See the national rise of the Greeks after 4 centuries of subjugation and lack of state). So I understand that international communism and liberal cosmopolitanism are undermining the nation by stirring up class divisions.
10) I believe in the importance of society, the whole community of the People, not the individual. The individual acquires a face and forms it's shape, it's "I" identity through the "We" of the total. Individuals do not have historical significance as opposed to the people who are condensations spacetime of special qualities of the People and the Nation. A person can only be one who completes the socialization through capability, as harmonious comition of social and individual values. This superior type of person is a new kind of person that nationalism seeks to create.
11) I honor and respect the tradition because it consists all the aspects of beauty and the good that occurred and revealed in history. While grounded in tradition I seek the new creation, the incessant evolution.
12) The social state of nationalism delivers social equality of opportunities grounded in meritocracy and does not ignore the law of diversity and difference in nature. Respecting the spiritual, ethnic and racial inequality of men we can build a society with egalitarian laws. This egalitarian laws are the proof of the moral transgression of nationalism and show that there is no legal modulation to protect the naturally existing institutional inequalities that are an integral part of nature and life. In contrast to this, the social - national state gives the same margin of enhancement and sealing to every different element of existence. So, as a nationalist, I fight all forms of destructive policies (regarding nations, races, men), and any false inequality and oligarchy (money, party, perversion).
ARISTOCRACY IS BORN OF MERITOCRACY, THIS IS WHY I FIGHT AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OLIGARCHY '
As you see it is not very impressive and it does not learn us anything new, so it is just for the people who are interested.

Usual fascist shit.
nothing that new
Nothing particular new in that manifesto although i would say that the tendency (at least in rhetoric) is towards a variant of strasserism regarding the economy with its talk about the economy being planned and control over private property. It even mentions the desire to create a new society and a new type of man(not woman!) though this i suspect is a white aryan man who is hetrosexeual and anti semitic i assume and not che guevara's idea of the new man.
However fascism is riven with contradiction trying to balance the interests of the workers (in rhetoric) with the needs of capital and ultimately comming down on the side of the rich
I think they forgot the part: "We are paganists but because lot's of our voters are Christian Orthodox and they believe in the quote: " Country, Religion, Family", we let it flow in the air that we are Christian Orthodox too even though we believe in Zeus because he's ancient GREEK GOD and not like Jesus who's jew and traitor of the country (even though Jesus had nothing to do with Greece at that time)".
Yeah! I believe the left and right wings are hypocritical not GD for god's sake......
I heard abou that neo-pagan thing but I didn't know if it was real or not. Typical fascist garbage.
Paganism is a fascist thing? That's kinda cool... Regardless, there is nothing different from these assholes and Mussolini's writings.
Fascism in america is also under the guise of "Liberty," it's called the "Tea Party."

"[I]t’s hard to keep potent historical truths bottled up forever. New data repositories are uncovered. New, less ideological, generations of historians grow up. In the late 1980s and before, Ann Druyan and I would routinely smuggle copies of Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution into the USSR—so our colleagues could know a little about their own political beginnings.”

It sounds identical to the shit facists used to write in the 30s. You'd think they'd make some sort of effort to dress it up as something new.
^haha, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's almost like they're trying to be a fascist charicature.
I mean,
that's some Adolph Hitler shit right there
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
what's with their symbol? it looks like Israel's New Shekel:
GD Symbol
Does Golden Dawn ever rant about the Jews, does anyone know?
Also, do Golden Dawn members approve of the junta dictatorship, or do they consider it a negative thing?
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
It's cute how they occasionally appropriate leftist language and try to act like they actually are a third position rather than just unabashedly stupid and right-wing.
Well third position in the sense they want to use the state to prop capitalism for more profits may be accurate. Fascism and "free market," is opposed to each other.

...what?
Their symbol is supposed to be a meandros which is an ancient greek style of architecture. I suppose it's just... luck that it looks kinda like the symbol of Hitler...what's with their symbol? it looks like Israel's New Shekel:

Yo, Strasser is such weaksauce. Where are the fascist groups that uphold Evola? I see the shout out to a "new man", but I'm not satisfied, I prefer my fascism to be of the esoteric variety, personally.
Put capitalism in a bag of rice.
On the StormFront site, "beginners" are linked to Nazi articles. When you read these articles, it's almost as if Hitler is still alive.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post these articles. They do provide a lot of insight into the ideology of our enemy, but it seems dangerous.
They encourage violence against immigrants (legal or illegal, it doesn't matter as they're all immigrants) and want to lock up "certain" politicians (Communists of course). So I would say yes.
I think I just lost brain cells reading that.
What's worse than the fact that some people believe that shit, is that some people endorse it.
I mean, the fact that someone out there believe Nationalism to be the only true revolution is quite frankly hilarious.
"Revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another."
— Mao Zedong
I think we shouldn't underestimate Fascists. They're very dangerous. Remember: people thought Hitler was hilarious too.
What this one does not get deleted for being one-liner and the other one I protested about, which actually contributed to the thread (unlike this one), got deleted?
Marxists still use the same manifesto they did in the 19th century.
You think they have enough popular support to be dangerous?
Unrelated note:
Yay I learned how to quote multiple posts!!!!
I disagree i think it is very impressive. Honestly it's the best piece of fascist writing i've ever seen, it seems that Golden Dawn have a very clear picture of what their historic role is, of note is their putting themselves forward as a third position, use of left rhetoric to gain support from proletarians, their appeals to the petit-bourgeoisie and class collaboration/corporatism. They're the epitome of fascism.Originally Posted by Student
