was somewhat negative (so I posted nothing). And it's something of a necessity now to put a brave face on things in order to reassure the wavering. (And there are numerous tactical and strategic circumstances that we must leave, for a time at least, more or less the way that they are now.)

But the establishment-left has become lost... and it has failed. It has become little more than just another face of corporatism -- a corporatism-not-so-lite -- and a "grand", somewhat face-saving, accommodation with the international ruling class.

And while the petty feudal lords of this establishment-left squabble among themselves and cling to their dying power, each and every one of them is being overwhelmed by, marginalized by, or surrenders to, the barbarian, materialist overlords -- and the fearful, panicked hordes that these overlords drive before them as a weapon of fear and oppression.

But more than this, western civilization itself is adrift -- adrift without rudders, oars, or sails, and far from any haven -- and it's the completely unscrupulous who are emerging to seize this opportunity.

However, the only effective strategy to resist this ruthless assault lies in understanding the peoples of our nations, and finding some way to pursue our ideals in a form that builds on strong pre-existing currents there -- not what we wish to find or create there -- or hope to instill in people through some process of "enlightenment".

Enlightenment is an end, not a means.
