I'd Rather be a Lefty Than These Morons

Stumbled upon the 'BNP Language & Concepts Discipline Manual' earlier, I recommend everyone read it, it is available on their website and is a hoot. Frighteningly, people believe this crap.

For example

"Rule #1: The BNP is not a ‘racist’ or ‘racial’ or ‘racialist’ or ‘race-conscious’ or ‘white’ or ‘white-people’s’ party. It should never be referred to as such by BNP activists, and anyone else who does so must be politely but firmly corrected. The precisely correct description of what we are, in the standard terminology of international comparative politics, is an ‘ethno-nationalist’ party. That is, we espouse, like many political parties all over the world, the interests of the particular ethnic groups to which we belong. There is nothing fascistic or unusual about this, and we don’t have to apologise for it. If we must describe our attitude towards race, it is ‘racial realism,’ as no-one can admit being against realism."

Precisely, if people cannot be convinced by divisive and hateful ideologies, then term it as something people cannot dispute. Like 'realism' or 'accept this or I'll smash your fucking face in'.

"Rule #4: ....it is absolutely necessary for us to draw a clear distinction between the ‘bad old days’ of the party (before 2000) and ‘what we represent today.’ Today, we stand for ‘21st century nationalism,’ as opposed to the outdated ‘20th century nationalism’ which had so many problems. Without this distinction, bad deeds from ‘our naughty past’ can be used to mis-characterise our present political identity. Since these bad deeds did occur, denying them merely creates an impression of dishonesty, while admitting them is disarmingly honest and prevents our enemies from blocking our message by dwelling on our past."

Yeah 20th century nationalism had so many downsides such as Franco, Mussolini, Hitler, the Holocaust etc etc. But they have changed. Remember no racism.

"Rule #15. BNP activists and writers should never refer to ‘black Britons’ or ‘Asian Britons’ etc, for the simple reason that such persons do not exist. These people are ‘black residents’ of the UK etc, and are no more British than an Englishman living in Hong Kong is Chinese. Collectively, foreign residents of other races should be referred to as ‘racial foreigners’, a non-pejorative term that makes clear the distinction needing to be drawn. The key in such matters is above all to maintain necessary distinctions while avoiding provocation and insult."

Yes you cannot be racist when other races don't exist. Genius. Immigration doesn't exist either.

"Rule #17. Britain does not have ‘immigrants,’ a term proper for use in settler societies like Canada, Argentina, and the USA. It has ‘guest workers,’ ‘foreign workers,’ or ‘descendants of foreign workers.’ They are, depending on who they are, ‘racial foreigners,’ ‘religious foreigners’ or ‘persons of foreign religion,’ or ‘ethnic foreigners.’"

Britain has always been settled apparently, and thus those who came over with the Saxons are merely 'descendants of foreign workers'. Of course, those descended from Jewish migration are O.K as well.

Rule #11: The BNP is not an antisemitic party: we do not believe that Jews per se are bad, though we do, of course, reserve the right to condemn individual Jews that are doing something bad. Because of the inflammatory nature of this issue, as well as the party’s past, it is best to simply never speak or write of Jews at all. It is especially important not to use them as a clumsy code word for other things: if you really mean ‘American imperial ambitions in the Middle East’ or ‘the treasonous propensities of international financiers,’ then simple truthfulness requires that you say so. Same goes for ‘Zionism,’ which means the belief that Palestine belongs to the Jews and is not a general synonym for ‘Jews behaving badly.’"

What is brilliant about this statement is that they claim they will condemn Jews who do bad things but will not write or speak of Jews at all. That is an interesting idea. Also, I love the 'We're not anti Semitic but....' overtones of that paragraph.

So there we have it, the BNP successfully dispel the myth that they are racist and xenophobic by being racist and xenophobic.
