The Mormon Option
essay by Vidar
The more I read about the Mormons early history the more I see parallels to our situation today. Racialists have tried to “make it work” living within our own communities to little avail. Racialist Heathens, particularly those who vocalize anti-Christian sentiments, face even more pressure. There are rural places where Christian groups like the KKK can still reside and Christian racialists can find haven there. Where is a refuge for those who are rejected by Mainstream society and Christian Racialist society at the same time?
Long ago the Mormons attempted to establish their community while living scattered amidst a hostile majority. But they could find no legal help because often the discrimination was sanctioned by or originated from the Government. At the end of the day, after their leader was killed and members faced constant violence and harassment there was only one logical answer. They had to gather all their people and create a base where they could regroup and build the necessary infrastructure.
The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been persecuted for their beliefs ever since Joseph Smith founded the church in New York in 1830. Smith’s claim to be a modern-day prophet of God and his acceptance of polygamy proved controversial wherever the Mormons attempted to settle. In 1838, Smith set up a new spiritual colony in Missouri, but by 1839, anti-Mormon prejudice there had proved too virulent. The Latter-day-Saints next set up camp in Nauvoo, Illinois but prejudice followed them there as well. Angry mobs murdered Smith and his brother in June 1844 and began burning homes and threatening members of the group.
Obviously, the Mormons were eventually successful in establishing their cult and their numbers have swelled today to over 6 million in the United States alone. They are currently the majority religion in their home state of Utah and approaching numerical dominance in Idaho. However, they could never have reached this point without first concentrating their power. The “Butler Plan” (migration to a Northwest homeland) has been proposed as a solution in Pro-White circles. But do we Heathens need our own version of the “Butler Plan”? I agree with Blake’s articles about Volkish Cooperatives and Homesteads, but is the plan to have a bunch of separate communities across the North American landmass or should we concentrate our resources to a smaller territory?
We are spread thin and have few resources. For such a communal based ideology, we don’t really have any communities to speak of. I don’t consider a few friends who still live in normie society to be a community, no matter how many stickers they put up or how many times they go to the gun range together. For many of us, after the stickers are put up and the shooting is done and everyone goes back home, we are still going back to a neighborhood that is likely diversified. We are still working a soul crushing 9-5 jobs for a Globohomo Corporation so we can pay rent to Capitalist landlords or a Mortgage to a Jewish bank. We anxiously await the next time we can meet up with our Comrades just to get a break from our own brainwashed Neighbors!
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Why not make your comrades your neighbors? Instead of being surrounded by degenerates until your next meet-up, you would only have to face them for a few hours at a time and then come home to a healthy community. You may still have to venture out for your job, but the money you earn would be put towards real independence for yourself and your Tribe. It would make coordinating things much easier, and getting the group together is now as simple as walking a few feet over to the next house. With motivation, a few acres, and resources pooled together, you could create a true home for yourself and your Volk.
Returning to the Mormon example:
On this day in 1846, Young abandoned Nauvoo and began leading 1,600 Mormons west across the frozen Mississippi in subzero temperatures to a temporary refuge at Sugar Grove, Iowa. Young planned to make the westward trek in stages, and he determined the first major stopping point would be along the Missouri River opposite Council Bluffs. He sent out a reconnaissance team to plan the route across Iowa, dig wells at camping spots, and in some cases, plant corn to provide food for the hungry emigrants. The mass of Mormons made the journey to the Missouri River, and by the fall of 1846, the Winter Quarters were home to 12,000 Mormons.
They didn’t send their people out on their own, without guidance or assistance. They established a way for people to get to their new settlement. Back then they had to prepare a safe path; with food, shelter, and defense against Indians on a real pioneer trail. Today the major obstacle to overcome is having land purchased and ready for people to move to. Recently, we had the Traditionalist Workers Party purchasing land that had trailers on it for members to move into. They were working on establishing more permanent housing when the infamous sex scandal put a halt to the plans. While that specific case may have crashed because of unrelated problems, the plan itself was a fine working model.
We should learn from these examples. Existing as a scattered, hated and persecuted minority is not a good look for the future. We need to start thinking collectively, because just like the Mormons we don’t really have a choice.
In the modern world folks seem more interconnected than ever before yet a bond to community identity has declined as globalization meshes everything together and social media and hollywood entertainment diverts folks focus away from their neighbors. Many have become atomized adrift in a sea of consumerism and cultural marxist platitudes. The co-opting of environmental ideas by the liberal establishment is wholly unnatural and designed to warp reality to suit their whims. Invasive species are not merely plants or bugs, they are also foreign contaminant outlanders who disrupt the local socio-cultural ecosystem of the new area they come to inhabit. There is definately something to learn from the Mormons, Amish, and other tribally bound groups.
“They had to gather all their people and create a base where they could regroup and build the necessary infrastructure.”
I belive having multiple options is better than putting all your eggs in one basket. Finding kindred spirits in your local area may be a challenge though its wrth it and with social media the process should be easier. Multiple organizations and idealogies shouldnt be a hindrance when we are all working for our folks survival, expansion, and advancement with the 14 words.
“they could never have reached this point without first concentrating their power.”
This is best exemplified by Rob Kievsky of the Mindweapons in Ragnarok blog who said how we should take up positions in law enforcement, education, politics, and engineering. With the cunning of Loki you can hone your mind into a weapon. He also spoke of becoming a programmer, learning a new language/cryptolect, creating your own business, homeschooling, screen-free childhood, and learning martial arts.
Having seperate communities should not be a problem, rather each community can learn from another. That goes beyond America, it also includes learning from communities in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere.
