Surprise! Surprise! Collapse! By Bruce Bennett

     I was reading a philosophical piece about Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) and historical causality, or lack of it, not understanding much of it, and was going to move on, until I read this passage quoted below, and the lights were suddenly turned on:

“The “official” reason given for the collapse of the Soviet Union is that President Reagan’s arms build-up led to a competitive arms race that bankrupted the Soviet Union. That is pure hogwash. North Korea has assembled a nuclear program with an economy just a small fraction of that of the former Soviet Union and with a far greater power differential than that which existed between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The real reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union was a collective loss of will, a loss that has yet to affect North Korea. But how does one go about explaining a nation’s loss of will? There are too many variables, too many moving parts, for a cause-and-effect explanation to be satisfactory. Spengler’s great insight is that nations, like individual human beings, are organic entities, and all organic entities have a life span. One can eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, avoid drugs, tobacco, and excessive alcohol consumption, and yet one will inevitably die. This is the destiny of all individuals, and according to Spengler, the destiny of all cultures and civilizations. We on the dissident Right have the advantage that we are aware that the West has lost its will to survive, that Western Civilization is slowly committing suicide.

This is indeed sad and such feelings give rise to the understandable but mistaken desire to “do something.” But first, we need to ask ourselves, “Is America worth saving?” Is a country that actively discriminates against the interests of white persons worthy of white support? Is a political system in which the only two viable political parties are actively working against the national interests worthy of being preserved? I think many of us would answer in the negative. So then, what is to be done? Uncoordinated individual actions are pointless. Collective actions in the form of political organizing are necessary not with a mind towards a restoration of the “republic,” but of protecting white interests, … and preparing for the next stage of white cultural and political evolution. The American “Experiment” has been tried and found wanting, the Enlightenment was a fraud, and Leftism in all its varieties has been revealed to be not a polity but a mental disease completely divorced from reality. One thing is certain: When the end of America and Western liberalism comes about, it will be completely unexpected by all of the experts both as to its timing and method of collapse.”

     Social breakdown and collapse thus may transcend mechanical causality, and may have world spirit, or Godly aspect to it, where civilisations reach a point of internal degeneracy, then collapse under the entropy of their own rottenness. But, I would maintain that there is a crucial difference between the collapse of the USSR, and our present “Soviet” governments that dominate the West, is that the breakdown is already evident to those with eyes to see. We try to explore this in this blog so that when the world as it now oppresses us falls apart, people should not have to say: but nobody told me! We told you, and most of us payed the price of stomach ulcers doing it too!
