The building of the Labour Movement

In the 1880's, the phenomena of men standing for parliament or council elections under the new heading of "Liberal-Labour" began to emerge.  In the 1885 election there were eleven of these Liberal-Labour MPs. Leading socialists such as Keir Hardie, the then Liberal-Labour MP for West Ham began to argue that the working people need its own political party. From this the Independent Labour Party was born. Later the ILP merged with the Fabian Society, the Social Democratic Federation to form the Labour Representation Committee which eventually became the Labour Party.

At the same time as the Labour Party was evolving, the young Trades Union Movement was being formed too. This took the form of the establishment of Trades Union Councils in most major towns and cities.

Who were these early socialists? Keir Hardie, William Morris, Robert Owen and similar? First and foremost they were reformers. They knew that the conditions of the British worker were for the most part truly appalling in Victorian Britain. Keir Hardie and others stepped beyond the bounds of the Utopian ideals of William Morris and realised that the key lay in agitation and organisation and this led to the ILP being formed.

Have these early socialists and their traditions any relevance to we White Nationalists a century later? The answer is yes because for the most part, they were not Internationalists and coupled their socialism with a deep love of Britain. They were in a different stream from the Communists of Marx and Engels and the other Social Revolutionaries who were spreading an internationalist creed throughout Europe at the same time. Marx was not a socialist in the national sense of the word, but a rootless cosmopolitan of Jewish origin, whose sole aim was world revolution. Indeed, his greatest advocate - Lenin made the task of the first Communist government in Russia to wipe out all socialists of a national character.

Communism appeals to the lowest common denominator in man. It is a religion based on greed and materialism. It was never interested in justice for the peasants or the workers but in pure, naked power - often power for its own sake. Over the course of the twentieth century, until the New World Order dispensed with it as a useful tool, Communism, the evil brainchild of Marx, destroyed up to two hundred million people - mostly workers!

Looking back at our own NATIVE socialist tradition we can see how different the men and women who first formed the Labour Movement were to the Communists. They did not seek the destruction of nation, race or empire but fought for the rights of the working men and women of Britain, and as such they should be honoured.

It was decades later, through Communist entryism, that the Labour Party started to go sour and take on an internationalist mantle. The reds virtually hijacked the Labour Movement in the 1930's and the Trades Union Movement too. Thatcher smashed the unions and the Communist stranglehold over them but in doing so she destroyed the representation the people needed in the first place.

The White Nationalist Party is not socialist in the sense that we have all come to understand it. It is however in the sense that it believes in social justice for all no matter what rank, what wealth or what social background.
