Topic: Folkish


In the News (Sat 22 Nov 08)

  
  Folkish or universalistic
The concept folkish itself originally means 'popular or commonly', later it was used in the sense of 'nationality' and by the National-Socialists (Nazis), the emphasis lay and lies in its use on 'people and 'race'.
It is common among the folkish people, especially outside of Europe, to reference one's 'european' descent, as a basis for a Germanic descent.
All in all, the folkish are in their argumentation, unclear, spongy, do not know clear boundaries, and all based on basic assumptions, that are very doubtful.

 MEIN KAMPF by Adolf Hitler: Volume 2, Chapter 4 - Personality and the Conception of the Folkish State
The folkish state must care for the welfare of its citizens by recognizing in all and everything the importance of the value of personality, thus in all fields preparing the way for that highest measure of productive performance which grants to the individual the highest measure of participation.
And accordingly, the folkish state must free all leadership and especially the highest - that is, the political leadership - entirely from the parliamentary principle of majority rule - in other words, mass rule - and instead absolutely guarantee the right of the personality.
As a matter of principle, the folkish state does not tolerate asking advice or opinions in special matters - say, of an economic nature - men who, on the basis of their education and activity, can understand nothing of the subject.

 SPLCenter.org: From UFOs to Yoga
Although there has always been a theocratic strain in fascist movements, several factors are contributing to a latter-day, "folkish" (or tribal) revival among white youth who are beset by an acute sense of disenfranchisement in Western societies.
Building on his previous work, Goodrick-Clarke draws a parallel in Black Sun between folkish ferment in Hitler's Austria and the role of today's marginalized neo-Nazi sects, many of which have repackaged Aryan racism in new forms influenced by eastern religions.
A crucial difference, the author maintains, is the shift from the virulent German nationalism of the Third Reich to a broader racist ideology of global white supremacy.

 The Clan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The folkish way is the way of the clan - of a folk bound by ties of blood and loyalty.
Our folkish, numinous, way is not the way of a large, impersonal, nation, nor the way of the abstract, soul-less State.
The clan makes real the essence of our folkish way - the way of living-beings; the way of us, as individuals, being a connexion between the past of our folk, and the future of our folk; a connexion between the living-being which is our folk, and the living-beings which are Nature and the Cosmos.

 Personality and the Conception of the Folkish State
The folkish National Socialist state sees its chief task in educating and preserving the bearer of the state.
Criticism with regard to the soundness or unsoundness of this principle is not settled by the proof of its capacity to administer the existing order for the future, but exclusively by the proof that it can itself create a higher culture.
The folkish philosophy is basically distinguished from the Marxist philosophy by the fact that it not only recognizes the value of race, but with it the importance of the personality, which it therefore makes one of the pillars of its entire edifice.

 The Folk and our Future
White Americans in Alabama and Mississippi share a Southern bond that once was folkish and the Southern bond that still exists today is the closest thing to a folk in America on a large scale.
Folkishness is our path because we have evolved with our folk and it is part of who we are.
A folk is greater than anyone of us and when each and every one of us become reasonably schooled in folkish understanding, then we, as a group, a small percentage of our race in the beginning, start to reawaken these collective feelings of racial identity and purpose.

 A Brief Introduction to the Nordic Imperium School
That which makes a people unique are commonalities in ascetics which reflect the environment in which they live and the self perceptions that results from belonging to a common stock lending continuity and hence, shared identity and purpose.
This basic notion of ethno-cultural compatibility and continuance was presented as an argument against imperialism and the preservation of all of the unique expressions of Scandinavian folkishness entailed some form of transnational cooperation.
Instead, Ögmundarson simply states him to be a populist leader that heads a folkish uprising during a period of immense societal turmoil.

 Minsinformation On Folkish Asatru
There are racist individualsthat are part of the Folkish Asatru community, just as there are membersof AIM and the NAACP that are racist.
Yet, there are several folks within the greater Heathen community thatwould mislead folks to believe Folkish Asatru is a racist branch of thereligion, and attempt to place the AA, AFA, OR, and smaller Folkish Asatruorganizations along side obviously racist or racialist organizations suchas Wotansvolk.
The 'Asatru Folkish Samfelag' was founded in 1972 and based onthe ancient Nordic, white religion." Here the misinformant is trying touse sensationalist rhetoric to lead you to identify Wotansvolk with theAFS without ever saying the AS is racist.

 [No title]
At least most of those folks are expressing their own beliefs rather than trying to tell me what my beliefs are.
9/12/2006 4:30:47 PM So, once again we have a statement that the folkish position is not predicated on who may become tru, by the founder and leader of the AFA no less.
Not only because it clears up recent media sensation, but also because they chose someone Folkish rather than someone more Leftist or whatever, which is usually the trend: either media focuses on total right wing nutbags, or total left wing nutbags, neither of which are really my sort of Heathen.

 About Asatru
Obviously, the folkish beliefs can easily be interpreted as racist (and there are a minority of folkish asatruar whom I believe that term can be rightfully applied to), but they are not inherently so.
The basic folkish argument is that when I (assuming for the moment that I were folkish) stand before my ancestors, I wish to be surrounded by those who share that ancestry.
The folkish belief is not "we're better than you because of who our ancestors are", but rather "each of us should follow the ways of his own ancestors, not those of somebody else's".

 Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf: The Strong Man is Mightiest Alone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The so-called 'folkish splintering' is due to such a process.
To be sure, the foundation in 1918-19 of a considerable number of groups, parties, etc., designated as folkish, occurred through the natural development of things through no fault of the founders.
And thus the folkish state above all will never be created by the compromising will of a folkish working federation, but solely by the iron will of a single movement that has fought its way to the top against all.

 MEIN KAMPF by Adolf Hitler: Volume 2, Chapter 5 - Philosophy and Organization
THE folkish state, a general picture of which I have attempted to draw in broad outlines, will not be realized by the mere knowledge of what is necessary to this state.
And so, if we wish to transform the ideal image of a folkish state into practical reality, we must, independent of the powers that have thus far ruled public life, seek a new force that is willing and able to take up the struggle for such an idea.
Just as hitherto they used everything for their petty election speculation, the folkish concept has today remained for them only an external empty slogan with which they attempt to counterbalance, among their own members, the attractive force of the National Socialist movement.

 Learning Witchcraft
First let's look at what each of these two groups really is. Folkish Asatru beliefs say that one must be of Germanic descent (no matter how small) OR be adopted into a community that is in order to be truly of the faith.
Since Folkish beliefs tend to say that those of non-Germanic descent cannot be Asatruar (although some groups do accept that spiritual adoption into the tribe is allowed), they are seen as racist.
While most Folkish people I've had the honor of reading seem to want to celebrate our many differences, racists are driven to subdue and crush those of other cultures.

 Mein Kampf: Eastern Orientation or Eastern Policy
The foreign policy of the fokish state must safeguard the existence on this planet of the race embodied in the state, by creating a healthy, viable natural relation between the nation's population and growth on the one hand and the quantity and quality of its soil on the other hand.
And I must sharply attack those folkish pen-pushers who claim to regard such an acquisition of soil as a 'breach of sacred human rights' and attack it as such in their scribblings.
As a folkish man, who appraises the value of men on a racial basis, I am prevented by mere knowledge of the racial inferiority of these so-called 'oppressed nations' from linking the destiny of my own people with theirs.

 Asatru : News, Views and Musings from a 21st Century Heathen
Suffice it to say that I found him to be a Tru man in word and deed, honoring the ancestors as would any "folkish" Asatrurar, and, other than a rather deep tan and a lack of hair, in no way "different" from the other fine folks there gathered.
In James' case, given the sordid history of fl slavery in the New World, it is nearly certain that there is more than a smidgen of European in his family tree.
We must realize that ancestry is universal, and that we who hear and heed the call to remember are therefore both "folkish" and "universalist".

 1999 Holocaust Remembrance Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hitler believed the most powerful nation would be one that is composed of a folkish state.
Hitler's folkish philosophy promotes the supremacy of the "better and stronger" and the surrender of the "inferior and weaker." He believed that only this mightier race of people would be strong enough to withstand and overcome the problems of the future (Hitler 1: 4-l 0).
He believed that he needed to eliminate the Jewish and "harmful" concepts, opinions, and aims to be able to create this folkish state.

Since art is a reflection of society it should not be too surprising as to its appalling state in this late phase of Western Civilization's decline.
Neither economics nor art any longer serve communal, folkish or national expressions.
The zeitgeist is now, and has been for some 100 years, that of the egocentric individual who serves no other purpose beyond himself.

 Wicklowwolf's Forum - A Bravenet.com Forum
Very difficult to answer, when one considers the abuse the term "folkish" (="voelkisch") has suffered by being misused by political propagandists in the 1930's and 40's.
Anyway, there has been a lot of negaivity surrounding the terms "folkish" and "universalist." Since Asatru is a religion indigenous to the peoples of Northern Europe, it seems logical to equate that idea with the ideas of religions such as Shinto, and this I do in some respects.
Again, a touchy subject, and sadly the terms "folkish" and "universalist" have been too often equated with political views rather than what they truly must mean.

 On the Style of a Story for the People
There is a strong tendency toward the inversion of the standard order of elements within clauses‑-mutatis mutandis, the standard order of sentence elements in contemporary standard Russian (CSR) is subject‑verb‑object, while these stories show a frequent displacement of the subject.
The stories frequently display lexical material and syntactic patterns which are characteristic of popular speech (marked in dictionaries as "folkish" [prostonarodnyi] or "regional" [oblastnyi]).
Related to item five, there is the use of directly allusive language material (quotations from the Bible, interpolation of proverbs, use of collocations typical of folktales or religious legends).

 Barbarian's Norse Religion Page
Members of Folkish Asatru claim that bloodline is the strongest determinant of whether or not a person may practice the Norse Heathen faith.
Although they claim not to be racist (actually, not to be supremacist), their fundamental practices are based upon race.
Folkish Asatru tend to be intolerant of other heathen practices and of people of non-Nordic/Germanic descent practicing Asatru.

 V2 Chapter IV: Personality and the Conception of the Folkish State
It would be absurd to appraise a man's worth by the race to which he belongs and at the same time to make war against the Marxist principle, that all men are equal, without being determined to pursue our own principle to its ultimate consequences.
The folkish philosophy is fundamentally distinguished from the Marxist by reason of the fact that the former recognizes the significance of race and therefore also personal worth and has made these the pillars of its structure.
Such a revolution can be brought about only by means of a movement which is itself organized under the inspiration of these principles and thus bears the germ of the future State in its own organism.

 AGALLOCH The Mantle review by zaxx(Olivier Benard)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Dark, poetic, full of folkish influences, a cross between - let's say - My Dying Bride and Amorphis.
a happier song with clear folkish influences (the kind of french folkish influences that can be found on early Opeth albums, see "Black Rose Immortal" on Morningrise for example) - and even if the distorted guitar takes the lead, the acoustic guitar (and acoustic interludes) still remains strong.
and is again completely different from the previous two - more folkish oriented with added instruments (acoustic bass and percussives).

 Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf: Philosophy and Organization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It was to these realizations that the young movement owed its name; the program was later framed according to them and, furthermore, the manner of their dissemination is based on them.
Here, too, it has not only the right, but also the duty, of sharply emphasizing the fact that any attempt to put forward the folkish idea outside the framework of the National Socialist German Workers' Party is impossible, and in most cases based on a positive swindle.
If today anyone reproaches the movement for acting as if the folkish idea were their monopoly, there is but one answer.

The Innocence Mission emerged from Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the late eighties bearing a folkish, atmospheric, airy-guitar style that owed as much to 10,000 Maniacs as it did to Simon and Garfunkel.
The new record is consoling, emotional, personal their quietest and most folkish yet.
Certainly this won't occur anytime soon, for the band just released an even more folkish record, a collection of traditional hymns called Christ is My Hope (2000, Kneeling Elephant) to benefit the charitable work of Food for the Poor and the Council of Churches' foodbank in Lancaster.

In this chapter I was impressed by how extensive the author’s work was (contrary to most of the over-sensationalism that can be found in the first three chapters) and here it is obvious that the professor met face to face with the main protagonists and recorded their own thoughts and words on the Wotanic ethos.
Chapter six centers on the Folkish though not overtly racial Asatruar, and therefore begins with “soldier of fortune” Stephen Mc Nallen and the Asatru Folk Assembly, and his thoughts on keeping politics out of the Faith.
Further the author brushes up the eco-warrior philosophy of many Folkish pagans, but once again, he overdoes himself by choosing to quote various loud mouths instead of giving more tangible evidence of the strong green anarchist role in Folkish heathenry.

 BrothersJudd Blog: NATION WOEBEGON, WHERE EVERY ETHNICITY IS BELOW AVERAGE:
In a modern state of any size, there is a folkish spirit.
Quite to the contrary of German and even of 19th Century American thought, this spirit is most definitely not racial, although at a given point in time it may coincidentially correlate to this or that ethnicity.
When a multiculturalist speaks of "majorities" and "minorities" as in the above Canadian article, what he means is "folkish" and "unfolkish." Thus, to the multiculturist, the outsider, the stranger, the outcast, is always the "minority," to be protected against everyone else, and therefore the minority culture is to be preferred in every case.

The Heathen Revival Heathen tolerates all local religious traditions within the organization as long as they do not conflict with the Odinic teachings of the organization, and we allow other Folkish Gods and Goddesses to be worshipped as either local or kindred traditions as long as their worship is approved by the organization.
In the interests of the Common Good, each race must return to and serve the Gods of their own people.
Our children are the groundwork of the future, thus it is our duty to hearten their religious development by our own illustrations of statement and action.
