Lest I be accused of hypocrisy let me just say at the outset that, personally, I’m not exactly brilliant at the execution of the techniques discussed in this article. However in my defence I can at least argue that they are to some extent based on the experience of a street level activist.
I chose “Free Republic” to mean that…FIRST…we will be free. That comes before anything else. It is our first principle above all else. The government of FRONA will be organized to protect the individual liberty and property rights of every individual.
The “Republic” form of government in FRONA is not the old republic you know. It is a new form of governance. It is modeled after a corporation. The republic in the USA may have started out well-designed in the Constitution, but was bastardized over time to become unworkable and corrupt. The American republic is now dead. The New Corporate Model of Governance is vastly different than the US Constitution in one major way. Every person who becomes a citizen in FRONA has to sign a contract and pay a fee in pure silver. Every citizen is a shareholder in the national government.

Or whenever.
Bertolt Brecht’s name is now largely lost to history, but the idea expressed in the succinct question above remains as potent today as when he uttered it. Brecht, a self-made Marxist who was once investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) during the “Red Scare” era of the late 1940s and early 1950s, probably did not know a then-young Edward Kennedy or the other politicians who later devised the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, and he did not live to see the eventual mass migration of immigrants, legal and illegal alike, into the U.S. after his death. We can only speculate on how Brecht would have viewed the rapidly-Balkanizing United States of the early 21st century, but it seems safe to conclude that the old Marxist would be astounded at its scope, scale and rapidity.

White Nationalism remains in a state of disarray, comprised of a small group hell-bent on ramming a square peg into a round whole via reactionary cries of restoring that which is already dead. Despite the frenzied squealing of the disconcerted swarm that is more concerned with saving America/Canada than anything else, being unable or unwilling to think outside the box of collapsing industrial nation-states, there are a few secession alternatives provided to the reactionary politics of restoring America to some highly idealized, yet vaguely defined gilded age. One of the most well-known alternatives is the Northwest Front, and while Harold Covington certainly deserves credit for recognizing that America is a sinking ship beyond salvation and that the survival of continental White Europeans lies within lifeboats of secession, there are several flaws with a single-state secession strategy (NWF or otherwise) when compared to pan-secession.
