III. THE IMPERIAL FASCIST LEAGUE
THIS League was formed in 1928 by patriots believing that Democracy
is incapable of statesmanship and is a tool to alien money influences. Its
members had already put into practice their beliefs when they joined a
body which, from the first, repudiated Committee Management, and
refused membership to anyone of known Jewish blood. The capital of the
organisation was £5, derived from the funds of “The Fascist League," a
temporary makeshift which preceded it.
Every true Fascist movement has to undergo a long period of trial, during
which Adventurers, Melancholic Intellectuals, Wasters and Careerists
have to be gradually identified and eliminated. From the first, Race was
recognised as the true basis of politics, the declared object of our Fascist
politics being "to preserve British character and to allow it to evolve in
accordance with British tradition." From the first, the declared object of
our Fascist economics was "to make Finance the servant of industry
instead of its master." In pursuit of both these main fundamentals of
statecraft, it was recognised that there could be no compromise. In both
cases, the enemy, we found, was the Jew; and the more we learned, the
more obvious that fact became to us.
This brought the Imperial Fascist League right up against the World
Money Power from the beginning. At first, and for years, that Power
fought us with the passive weapon of the Gag; all ordinary means of
publicity were closed to us except those known by the enemy to be futile,
and only the roughest pioneering work could be offered to our recruits,
work calling for great personal sacrifices of time and money, exposure to
assault and Insult, to say nothing of ridicule.
Knowing nothing of journalism, we established The Fascist in March,
1929, and sold it on the streets. We sold it in such quantities that we
actually made it help to pay the rent of our Headquarters.
During the first five years of our existence, only once did our funds in
hand reach the sum of £100. On the other hand, one of the few rules of
our organisation is that no liability must be incurred which is not covered
beforehand by cash in hand. Consequently, we never were in debt.
Every opportunity for useful publicity of the lasting sort was taken,
provided the cost was within our slender means.
We did not set out with the idea of toning down our aims and policy to
make them popular in the eyes of that very democracy which has proved
its incapacity to judge policies or even to appreciate statesmanship. That
way, we knew, leads to compromise and untruth. We set out, knowing
that we had something to teach, and that practically the whole Aryan
population of the British Empire would have to be pupils. High endeavour,
on five pounds!
No one but a fool, under these circumstances, would expect rapid progress;
but many fools there were, and still are, who taunted us with standing still
and doing nothing ; these people are Judaised fools, recognising what they
think is progress only in display, “demonstrations” of large numbers of
like fools, and advertisement in a Jew-controlled Press!
Among our recruits, we found that only one out of every ten has it in him
to be a useful pioneer. The other nine belonged to that category that hears
a Fascist speaker or reads a Fascist pamphlet, gets excited, joins up,
samples a bit of work, and then, like the “old soldier” simply fades away.
The utter contempt which nine men out of ten had for their own signature
on our enrolment forms was something new to us. The majority of these
people did their “fading away” without even the decent formality of
resigning. The type they represent has always been the nomadic portion
of the movement, and although it often has good qualities, it is never the
best type. It is unstable ; in particular, we find, the Mediterranean racial
type of recruit is incapable of a prolonged strain or effort, although his
work may be brilliant whilst he is with us.
Very early in our experience, we found that this nine-tenths could only he
permanently attached as long as the other tenth exerted itself to amuse
them, and as we had neither money nor leisure to undertake the
manufactured “activities” which would keep them amused, we came to
regard it as inevitable that they were only temporary members and that it
was an uneconomical form of effort to attempt to keep them. In any ease,
we knew that when we got the Money, we could, if we wished, always
get these men again, for what they are worth, with the rest of the ‘mob.’
The real strength of a growing Fascist Movement is permanently with the
minority of members in it. It is not just a matter of brains, but of balance
and of character. The one-tenth which make up the Inner Circle of the
Imperial Fascist League is composed of far-sighted people of Character
who, knowing themselves to be right in their support of the League take
no notice of" the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune “and carry on
in the face of apparently overwhelming odds because their racial instincts
give them no other choice. That is the spirit of the true aristocrat, and we
care little from what class our “tenth men” spring; they are Nature’s
gentlemen, at any rate.
The Imperial Fascist League is founded on solid rock as regards both
policy and personnel. Every attempt has been made to smash it, the
methods including attempted assaults, threats to murder, and attempted
murder, in which the dupes of the Mosley Movement had their share.
Every method has been used to silence it, including the formation of
competing Bastard Fascist Movements, Masonic or Judaic; but all in vain.
The Fascist now goes everywhere, and is soon followed by our other
literature. In every Dominion, we have active workers, and all who deal
with us know that we cannot be bought and that there is no compromise.
We never stooped to the miserable subterfuge of making ourselves a
Limited Company. We stand up to our own obligations and responsibilities
without succumbing to this legalised dishonesty.
