  1. Kievsky, when you talk about defending economic niches, and how when factory jobs were being exported, we should have said “buy American” and the like – we did. Remember “Look for the Union Label?”

    But conservative Ronald Reagan types believed that would be “socialism” and that “free trade” was going to make us all rich.

  2. VVD,

    We needed to be even more active and start local businesses, and farms, and be sure to patronize these local businesses.

    Alas, we took our prosperity for granted back then. We were unconscious of the reality of creeping globalism. Now we know. There’s a company in my town that has a sign out front that says, “Stimulate the local economy; patronize small businesses.”

    We need citizen owned companies — for example, a farm or a convenience store funded by 1000 local people each contributing 100 dollars. of course we have to make sure it’s a “niche” that’s going to pay off. We need business savvy with a local touch — community patriotism. That’s NOT socialism.

    We can (theoretically at least) use the free market to attack large corporations.

  3. Kiev I agree with your solutions. But convenience stores and backyard gardening are a completely different scale than microchip fabrication; there are some things that only a large corporation can do.

    “1000 local people each contributing 100 dollars”

    Good luck with that. If it’s not on the TV, you won’t get 1000 local people to invest 50 cents into any project. They will assume it’s a scam and only want to invest in something they can trust, like the stock market.

  4. One of the worst damage the mass media has done to us is to break down local social networks, the “Bowling Alone” syndrome. Your focus on local networking and face to face meetings is probably job number one.

    I can make no claim to being a good organizer, but over the years I’ve found it nearly impossible to get people to do something as simple as pitch in money to buy something wholesale, or actually stage a boycott.

    Jews out in Ohio buy all their appliances from their co-ethnics in Brooklyn, who deals directly with the factory.

    White people can organize standing in line overnight to purchase the newest Gameboy, at retail. I really do think we are anti-tribal and individualistic to a fault.

  5. This whole idea of expecting all the citizens to start “doing the right thing” with local economy etc. won’t work. It is the same flawed premise behind democracy that requires millions of average citizens to suddenly exhibit the acumen of Plato. However, on some small scale such a local economy does exist amongst the “Berkely” types who shun Wall Mart and patronize expensive, hippie owned local business selling everything from vintage cloths to “organic” food.

  6. If WN would “concentrate” by physically moving to the same place, we would be much more able to do these sort of things. We could start up businesses that we would choose to patronize simply because the owners are WN. We might also be able to control politics at the local level and get those jobs directed to our people. Even better would be “concentrating” in a small population country like Iceland where we could ultimately control politics at the national level.

  7. VVD – “convenience stores and backyard gardening are a completely different scale than microchip fabrication; there are some things that only a large corporation can do.”

    Inkjet printable electronics may change that in the near future.

    We’re going to have to at least keep plans on mothballs to smoothly transition from microchip-dependence to microchip-independence. If it can’t be manufactured locally we should be thinking about this, substituting in values for “microchip.” That means not sticking microchips into everything right down to toasters.

    What’s kind of interesting about this is there’s probably an enormous market out there we can tap, due to the ubiquity of planned obsolescence.

  9. Boffin, are they really talking about inkjet printed microchips? Or are they talking about circuit boards? In any case, they’re always talking about something, but until it A) comes onto the market and B) gets reverse-engineered and open-sourced, it’s just hot air.

  10. This whole idea of expecting all the citizens to start “doing the right thing” with local economy etc. won’t work.

    One thing that does work is the idea of ethnopatriotic entrepreneurship; ethnopatriotism can motivate whites to get off their asses and start making money off their unawakened kin and putting it to good use.

  11. Svigor, if Boffin is talking about the 3-D printers, I’ve seen a video of a primitive circuit board being printed from solder, and the good news is that most of this stuff seems to be developed completely open source from the beginning.

    I have no idea – but is it possible to make a chip like the Z-80 locally? I believe that’s a design from the 1970s and still used in all sorts of embedded applications. If we could make relatively simple chips locally, we may be able to use parallelization to substitute for ultra-advanced designs like the latest AMD. (Boycott Israeli Intel)

    I really hope Whites can control a vertical for semiconductor manufacturing or we’re really screwed. I really don’t want to have to live without them.

  12. Svigor – “Boffin, are they really talking about inkjet printed microchips?”

    Yes, although the focus is on printed displays, electronic memories, rfid devices, and printed solar panels. In principle, since printed transistors now exist, a cpu chip should be doable, but don’t expect to print a 2GHz Athlon 64..

    My main interest in local circuitry is critical apps, like automated farming.

  14. Kievsky,

    I listened to the entire interview. I think you did a truly polished and professional job of making your case, which is a convincing one to begin with.

  15. I listened to the interview. I liked it. A few remarks:

    1. You mention the importance of owning a business. You may like to read “Revolution from the Middle” by Sam Francis. He goes into more depth about how the traditional meaning of virtue is tied to the independence that business ownership brings.

    2. One term you’ve used in the past that was absent from this interview is “Renaissance” man. I think it’s a term that grabs the imagination.

  16. The main challenge of any business is acquiring customers. If WN would physically create communities by relocating, it would be much easier for WN businesses to acquire loyal customers. It would also be much easier for WN to acquire employment with these businesses.
