Strategy and Tactics Redux

Thoughts.

More McHugh doom and gloom.

…they will suffer together if the Trump Administration loses the midterms and Democrats take the White House in 2028. A new administration will impose “European” speech regulation, and Elon Musk will suffer personally….Both the United States and Europe could become more “closed,” with travel bans, restrictions on NGOs, and social media censorship changing according to the whims of whoever is in power. The free speech Westerners took for granted could be utterly lost….Trump’s legacy or a Democrat who will try to destroy it by any available means. We could see this same story about social media in just a few years, but with the sides reversed.

That’s a bit different from the Johnson-Taylor “we’re winning, we are a victim of our success, Trump has done everything” victory psychosis, but anyway, what does this mean practically?

I have been writing about strategy and tactics, often in great detail, for years. I have a book focused on this topic, particularly in the event that Whites lose – and make no mistake about it, we are losing and losing badly.

I will here just make a summary with alternatives for a less repressive Trump interregnum and a more repressive “progressive” regime. This is particularly focused on the USA situation, but can be adapted to other areas with adjustments for specific local conditions.

As I have written for many years, both strategy and tactics can be broadly divided into three areas. First, metapolitics, such as what The Sallis Groupuscule is doing as well as what The Quota Queens pretend to be doing, and what 99+% of what the “movement” has been doing for decades, all the writing, ideology, propaganda, and so forth – idea generation and promotion. Second, is electoral politics, which is self-explanatory. Third, is infrastructure – community building, legal foundations, in-real-life activist groups (e.g., if a Legionary-type movement would be established, it would fit here).

Each of those broad activities can be further subdivided. Metapolitics can include many types of activities and can also be practically divided between digital and analog (e.g., physical paper books, magazines, journals, meetings, etc.). Electoral politics can be local or national. Infrastructure building can include a wide variety of activities.

Dependent on environmental context, there should be differential emphasis on each of the three broad areas and differential emphasis on the sub-divisions of each of the three broad areas.

During a time of less repression such as now, metapolitics and infrastructure should be focused on more and on electoral politics less. Do not misunderstand, at all times, all three areas should always be done (if possible). What I am saying is that there should be changes in the allocation of precious resources (time, money, effort) under different circumstances. Thus, in times of lesser repression, digital metapolitics can be productively pursued given the decrease of censorship, the ideology can be publicly “blasted” out to the public online. Infrastructure building can be done in two ways, the more overt actions (like Orwoll’s “Return to the Land”) as well as behind-the-scenes infrastructure to prepare for more repressive times ahead (legal foundations are much needed as well as self-help economic entities). Electoral politics are less needed at these times as the ideology and organization can be done via the two other strategies, and people are distracted by “we’re winning.” What electoral politics going on at this time should be more local.

In times of greater repression, electoral politics should be more strongly emphasized. With greater censorship of the Internet and other areas of expression, with more difficulty of doing metapolitics and (overt) infrastructure-building, electoral politics has to be increasingly used to (a) get the message out and (b) oppose the repression as much as possible. This means that in times of repression electoral politics needs to be more focused on higher-level, races, including state and, primarily, national (especially House of Representatives). I understand that in Europe repression includes electoral politics, with parties being banned and election results overturned. Thus, as I said, this post is mostly for America. But still, even in Europe, electoral politics should be pursued as much as possible (note that in a Europe with intense repression, most nationalist activism is indeed at the level of electoral politics, even with the electoral issues there, and this supports my general idea that electoral politics should be focused on in times of repression).

I understand that as America becomes more repressive, it may reflect European-stye authoritarianism to a greater extent. But, let us do what we can and look at the situation as it exists today. In times of greater repression, electoral politics may be the best way of getting the word out. The point of electoral politics is NOT “we won an election so we won” but instead as a vehicle for idea promotion and organizing - with any victories and people in power being “icing on the cake.” It is a matter of doing the best you can in particular circumstances – no one says any activity in times of repression would be optimal.

As regards metapolitics in times of repression, analog activity has to be emphasized to a greater extent compared to digital. I have said that it is a mistake to be so heavily dependent on the digital; we need to be able to switch to analog to a greater extent – paper material, private live meetings, and so forth. That can be repressed by the System as well of course, but it is a matter of shifting resources and tactics to the extent possible – analog can be repressed but careful analog metapolitical activity is more difficult to repress than the ease of shutting down digital sites. Infrastructure building has to deemphasize the overt “twigs and branches” “down the dirt road” stuff and emphasize more of the behind-the-scenes activity, legal action, and the various things discussed in my “we lost” After the Deluge book. In general, in times of repression, metapolitics and infrastructure-building, while still occurring, would be decreased as regards resource investment in favor of increased emphasis on electoral politics.

The idea is to shift our limited precious resources to areas of opportunity – to the extent that such exist – in different circumstances.

You may think I am completely wrong here, but a least I am outlining practical strategies for consideration. Compare that to The Quota Queens who panhandle for money every 15 seconds and waste time gibbering about Asian IQ and Savitri Devi. If the Quota Queens disagree with my views about this (or anything else) they are invited to appear on my podcast (or invite me to theirs) to discuss and debate. But of course they won’t – instead they lift their skirts up and jump on a chair shrieking like an old woman afraid of a mouse.
