The American Third-Position has been suffering a massive leadership crisis since Dr. William Luther Pierce died. I feel that, baring some Chosen One appearing from obscurity, there are two groups where good leaders can be found: the business sector and the military. If someone thinks they'd be a good leader then I highly recommend they join the military to better understand functioning as a unit. Officer and Enlisted are both fine, but if given the choice: go officer. Businessmen carry with them their own advantages. They have money and connections.
Zig Forums's main problem is hobbyism. So few people have the mindset that it is their duty to fight for their race, and die for it if necessary. So many people go into architecture threads and feel nostalgic over something they never experienced, but they don't study architecture on their own. So few people seem to understand that they can impose the Mythic Aryan Ideal upon reality; that the very existence of good men will naturally bring that dream world closer to ours. This runs counter to the modern conservative notion that "The world would be such a better place if I were in charge. It's all the average IQ idiots keeping us down." That one man is enough. Remember Napoleon? When he escaped from exile, an army was sent to arrest him. When confronted by these soldiers, Napoleon held out his arms and proclaimed "Go ahead. Shoot your Emperor"… Napoleon would go on to lead that same army into Paris to reclaim his throne.
There should never be questions over "Who gets to be King?" in our movement, because our movement's fundamental goal is to make every man worthy of a crown. (To me, leadership is a burden. I would simply like a nice house in the countryside, but duty and Fate have conscripted me.) We are a movement of Heroes that have seen nothing but defeat for thousands of years. We remember the bitter, bitter defeat of 1945. Millions of good, young men - killed. Millions of sweet, innocent women - young mothers even - raped by Slavs, and killed if they resisted. The shattering of a Golden Age of all fields: arts, science, philosophy, religion, politics. Still in spite of such a harrowing image of a hell on Earth, hundreds of thousands have pulled the Army Standards out from the ruins and formed a New Legion to once again challenge the forces of decay,
It is imperative to recognize the Heroic nature of this movement. It is, and must be one based on quality men, not a quantity of men. I urge every one of you to think about you life. Think about your skills. Plan. Plan how you would carry the world on your shoulders, and bring back that Golden Age, even if not a single other person on Earth agreed with you. That is the ultimate goal. Don't let anything stop you. You may be an idealist, but you shoulder be a grounded idealist. You should know that defeat is possible, and you won't win just because you are "in the right." Let realpolitik push you forwards, but determine what "forwards" actually is with your ever-dreaming heart. Be a Hero.
