Towards a British meta-politics 002

The ‘Johnsonian Alt Right’, is an electronic version and extension of the Old Right.  It treats the web as a world unto itself rather than a tool for actual activism.  Real world activism by the American Alt Right looks cartoonish from afar, like an off-line version of much of what is online.  Yet the American experience is different. Britain is a society without First Amendment protections.  A little bit of sophistication is needed in Britain: we British need to craft a credo, literally a succinct form of words that is politic but not vacillating and that, to be blunt, says what needs to be said but without getting embroiled in unnecessary legal problems.  It’s a balancing act, between stealth guerrilla warfare and overt political action. 

Culture and politics are interactionist and co-dependent.  Culture without political initiative is little more than a hobby; politics without cultural struggle leads to success built on flimsy foundations.  But of the two, it is politics that predominates: culture is changed from the seat of power.  That does not justify vacillation and word-policing, which can only lead to Pyrrhic victories.  We need an army of maybe 1,000 Fascist Men in Britain – but it needs to be a thinking and doing army that offers the British people something tangible and concrete, not more aimless pseudo-political activity and navel-gazing.
