Writings

• Leaderless Resistance
  • Essay describing the problems with a typical pyramid style organizational structure when used for a resistance movement against a tyrannical state. In a pyramid structure, if an individual is compromised everyone below that individual in the pyramid is likely to crumble. This makes individuals at the top of the pyramid very vulnerable and a liability to the group. Leaderless resistance does not have an established authority structure, making it much more difficult to compromise a meaningful part of the resistance.

  • From the essay
    Let the coming night be filled with a thousand points of resistance. Like the fog which forms when conditions are right and disappears when they are not, so must the resistance to tyranny be.
    At first glance, such a type of organization seems unrealistic, primarily because there appears to be no organization. The natural question thus arises as to how are the "Phantom cells" and individuals to cooperate with each other when there is no intercommunication or central direction? The answer to this question is that participants in a program of Leaderless Resistance through phantom cell or individual action must know exactly what they are doing, and how to do it. It becomes the responsibility of the individual to acquire the necessary skills and information as to what is to be done. This is by no means as impractical as it appears, because it is certainly true that in any movement, all persons involved have the same general outlook, are acquainted with the same philosophy, and generally react to given situations in similar ways. The pervious history of the committees of correspondence during the American Revolution show this to be true.
• Multiculturalism
  • Essay explaining that no nation will exist in a steady state of multiculturalism. One of the cultures in the nation will become dominate or parts of multiple cultures will become dominate and the nation will then be ruled by one culture that formed out of the multicultural state. Multiculturalism is also a tool by those in power to reduce the likely hood that any one group of people can amass enough power to challenge the status quo established by those currently in power. Multiculturalism is seen as a symptom of a nation in decline.

  • From the essay
    Those who sponsor multiculturalism are properly called multiculturalists and generally will be found to be those people with the least amount of personal culture appertaining to them. As a dying tree drops its leaves and is attacked by fungus and worms of decay, so to is a nation set upon by multiculturalists. The dominate culture is attacked from all sides. This is not so much a product of maliciousness as necessity. By vilifying, leveling, and weakening the dominant culture, an environment is created for social, political, and economic turmoil which produces change that will benefit the sponsors of a multiculturalist state. If the government and news media relentlessly pursue issues of race, gender, and diversity in preference to the real issues that need to be addressed, there will be an increasing division of society along the same lines. Which is exactly what the sponsors of multiculturalism want.
