Resistance, Beyond Left and Right
Be a both sides guy on some issues
Tens of thousands of Italians took to the streets yesterday in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The effort was coordinated by unions which organized a 24-hour strike impacting transportation, trains, schools, and ports. In Genoa and Livorno, traffic at ports was disrupted by sit-ins and rallies, in an attempt to block trade and weapons to Israel. Some of the largest crowds were in Rome and Milan, with at least 20,000 people showing up at the former. Clashes with police have occurred in multiple cities.
What appears to be one of the primary triggers is Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni’s decision not to recognize a Palestinian state at this week’s UN General Assembly, as some European countries are doing. Now, this gesture in itself is probably meaningless at best, if not ultimately detrimental, as the state which is to be recognized is the Palestinian Authority, which is functionally a puppet of Israel that in fact works to disarm Palestinians resisting the takeover of their land and genocide of their people. Nevertheless, most people being unacquainted with this, to them the recognition represents the longing for a free Palestine and an end to Israeli barbarism, both noble and necessary goals.
The Left and Power
The protests are unambiguously leftist: the “Free Palestine” slogans, unions, and black-clad masked-up people smashing stuff. I’m sure many of them are antifascists (antifa), maybe even foreign migrants, and that those types are as anti-White as they come. Yet in this action, they are substantively opposed to Jewish power.
The recognition of the Western grassroots Left or anti-Semitic but also anti-White migrant populations as a golem with which ZOG is now struggling to contend is easy to misinterpret, particularly by so-called rightists who are arguing in bad faith. Reactionaries above all hate being compared to anyone else, because they already know they will fail the comparison. It’s really pathetic, honestly.
The point is that the Left understands power: specifically, that it is expressed materially, in tangible outcomes. Posting anti-Semitic memes online in between voting for Zionists like Trump or Meloni is an abdication of power, which translates a theoretical nationalism into practical, democratic consent for people who give Israel whatever it wants and then some—directly from our pockets, in fact.
On the other hand, physically blocking weapons shipments to Israel, or attacking factories, is an attempt to exert real power by affecting tangible outcomes. Either the weapons get to Israel or they don’t. If they do, the Jews can make their peace with how many internet anti-Semites were involved in the process. If they don’t, they won’t forgive the antifa activist who is their eager pawn in everything else.
The Eternal Reactionary
I think it’s vitally important not to become a reactionary toward events like these protests. To reflexively desire to protect the Meloni government against a popular demonstration against the barbaric Jewish state (and by some accounts for better economic conditions) cannot be done without implicitly taking on the opposite of those two views. Materially, Meloni is the current enforcer of Zionist neoliberalism over Italy. It makes much more sense to be a “both sides are bad” guy on this issue than it does on the Israel-Palestine conflict, in which a nationalist group is physically resisting Jews.
I take the controversial position that a true White nationalist Right has yet to consolidate. We remain groping in the darkness, in which people grasp at figures like Meloni, who supports the American military occupation of Europe through NATO and the Zionist state while failing to fundamentally address demographic problems, for a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, all this serves to do is slow down or cull the development of true radical organization, because that energy, attention, and loyalty cannot be spent twice. And we cannot get that time back.
What this amounts to is that ZOG can call up reactionary rightists as its enforcers when it is attacked by the golems it has created—like antifa or Muslim immigrants—if not necessarily in the street, then at least at the ballot box, to ensure neoliberalism stays on life support indefinitely. The more squeezed we feel, the more many of us are willing to vote for the “lesser” of two evils. This is a simple equation with no variables: in the long run, the system doesn’t collapse until we (Whites) are all dead, and that’s where we’re headed, even if there’s a few fireworks and a couple more generations before we arrive.
The Way Forward
The great irony is that anti-White leftists blocking shipments to Israel is more tangibly connected to ending immigration than voting for Meloni, or even crushing those leftists. As I’ll never tire of pointing out, the state of Israel itself is directly involved in flooding Europe with migrants, this aside from the happy accident that their warmongering, financed by Western governments and conducted with Western weapons, continually creates tens of thousands more refugees. These are tired lessons that already, in my own memory, we have learned and now seemingly forgotten, or just chosen to ignore. It’s more comfortable to play pretend, especially when we as a race are divided by ideology and politically powerless.
As difficult as this is, it’s also really simple. Do you want to stop Israel? Then stop Israel. And stop reflexively taking their side. Our side is our faith, our blood, and our soil, and our enemy is satan’s chosen people.
On some level, the reactionary hates everything that shows his own cowardice and laziness. This why conservatives hate Fascists (or National Socialists, or other true Rightists)—the fact that there were people willing to march in the streets, slug communists, and burn books, showed them to not be those people. Let’s not fail this same test. If we’re not willing to turn out for our victims or causes like other races do for theirs, or leftists do for other races, let’s at least not reflexively make the turning out in itself to be the issue. Let’s instead aspire to beat them at their game, the one that really matters—where power is measured materially. That will take actual organization, actual courage, and actual loyalty to each other.
None of that will be built until we first stop spending it on system politicians and start spending it on our own people directly. Get involved in grassroots organizations, run for office, start an institution, make a lot of money and donate it to others doing such things, etc. Above all, meet other White nationalists and commit yourselves together to tangible, achievable goals. We are an occupied people—our resistance will be built from the ground up, and doing so, will be successful.

“If I know your sect, I anticipate your argument.”
Why are ‘the longing for a free Palestine and an end to Israeli barbarism… both noble and necessary goals?’ These are libtard goals.
‘Reactionaries above all hate being compared to anyone else, because they already know they will fail the comparison.’
What do you even mean by that word? It's not at all clear, especially since you yourself are some sort of Trad Christian and the spitting image of what most think of when they hear that word. It's ‘reactionary’ to oppose the left? Are you a Marxist?
‘The point is that the Left understands power: specifically, that it is expressed materially, in tangible outcomes.’
And what has been the outcome of the protests? Has Meloni stopped weapons shipments to Israel? Has Italy recognised a Palestinian state? Has safe passage for the boats trying to bring aid into Gaza been secured?
Personally, I have no investment in this, because I am not against Israel . But if you go listen to that side, and see what has them panicking, it's all memes on social media. They're far, far more afraid of Trump's base turning on them and the effects of social media on public opinion, which they are losing, than some leftists protesting.
‘It makes much more sense to be a “both sides are bad” guy on this issue than it does on the Israel-Palestine conflict, in which a nationalist group is physically resisting Jews.’
Hamas is not a nationalist group. It may occasionally appeal to nationalist sentiments, but it's an Islamist group with an internationalist focus that sees its war on Israel as part of a larger struggle.
I wouldn't expect TRS to know this, let alone teach you this, but Islamism as we know it today grew out of dissatisfaction with post-independence nationalist governments in the Arab and Islamic world and has always condemned nationalism as idolatry and Jahalia, or a return to a pre-Islamic Paganism.
If I wanted to be equally intellectually dishonest, I might as easily describe this as a war between Islamic globalism and ethnonationalism. But in truth it's a straightforward ethnic struggle between two Levantine groups competing over land.
And then finally we get to the real crux of the article—a call for retreat thinly disguised as a call to action. Stop engaging with mainstream politics. Self-ghettoise and join some fringe organisation. It's pure LARP, it won't affect anything. No one cares. Social media is power in our age.
‘As difficult as this is, it’s also really simple. Do you want to stop Israel?’
No, I don't.
‘Our side is our faith, our blood, and our soil, and our enemy is satan’s chosen people.’
It's not my faith. It's not the faith of most Europeans under 30. If you hate the Jews so much then why have you adopted their religion? As Nietzsche wrote, when reading the Bible one is in the company of Jews. And he had the New Testament in mind as much as the Old.
‘On some level, the reactionary hates everything that shows his own cowardice and laziness. This why conservatives hate Fascists (or National Socialists, or other true Rightists)—the fact that there were people willing to march in the streets, slug communists, and burn books, showed them to not be those people. Let’s not fail this same test.’
Weren't you just arguing that white nationalists should not go out into the street and fight the left? That they should sit back and condemn both sides?
I agree that white nationalists should try to get themselves into positions of power. But they're far better off running anonymous accounts online while working their way into congressional internships and such.
You seem quite fixated on the Jews. So look at how they achieved their power. They controlled media. Until the internet, we could never have competed with that, but now we can. They worked their way into established political parties or supported up-and-coming ones.
