Hellenikon

America is a nation. 

This statement invites controversy, and heavy dispute, even amongst what is colloquial known as the ‘dissident right’. Some of this is justified, in recent years those representing themselves as American Nationalists have posited all manner of disgusting and stupid things, and besides there are plenty for whom America is not a homeland. 

I confess to being initially loathe to offer a definition, since it is a fact that even an attempt will draw fault lines in the dissident right and it is not my intention to unnecessarily alienate. Coalitions to destroy (in our case ZOG) are far easier to maintain than coalitions to build, but I believe some defense of a true American ethnos must be offered in spite of this. Simply being anti ZOG may destroy it in the end, but would do jack for our people. Nature abhors a vacuum, and North America will be ruled by a unitary state. The only question is what that will look like. 

The great writer Herodotus, well over 2,000 years ago, recounted how the Spartans and Athenians resolved to define who they were and what they were fighting for on the eve of the second Persian invasion in 480 BC. They settled on 3 main points of “Hellenikon” (Greekness):

• A. having the same blood and language
• B. acknowledging the same temples and religion
• C. observing the same customs

​​​​​​Blood and Language is the simplest of the lot for us. The pioneer or heritage stock hales from Europe, and Northern Europe at that (with limited exception). Language too is simple enough. We speak English, without much controversy until recently. 

Now this next one is trickier. One hundred years ago America was 90% Protestant, which is not perfectly united by any stretch of the imagination religiously, but now its significantly more fractious. Obviously new arrivals don’t count in this equation (or any other as far as this ethnos is considered) but we are still left with a white population that is 29% Evangelical Protestant, 19% Mainline Protestant, 19% Roman Catholic, and 24% Agnostic/Atheist/Unaffiliated.

These all represent factions, to say nothing of the many factions contained in each one. Yet there is a mere Christianity that can be fostered between them, so long as it is built on a firm foundation, a foundation of orthodoxy and strident nationalism, the inseparable brother of Protestant history. Religion is to be a sticking point for an American ethnos, but a religion to help bind us together is indispensable, and we must at least work in this direction. Christianity, and a specifically nationalist understanding of it, is the only viable course forward. The church is an institution that must be reclaimed, or put to the sword and made anew, if we are to once again have North America for our undisputed possession.

As to customs, they can scarcely be quantified, so many have existed. Yet as we move from place to place, as family is further separated, as we lose our sense of being rooted to the people and land that surround us these customs, too, are fading, despite not being wholly faded. Thanksgiving is like this for my family, as for as long as I have any memory we gather to celebrate our being given this land, our faith, and each other. Depending on region I am sure you have customs like it you remember fondly, and can call upon. Many customs have passed out of use, but new ones can be made, and some gone even revived or at least memorialized. This is perhaps the most easily remedied of our problems, as in the words of Nick Mason of Myth of the 20th Century,

“I believe that from good blood it (a nation) can always be reborn again. There’s always a possible future as long as the blood is maintained.”

Surveying the situation from Herodotus” definition shows ethnogenesis is already underway, even if we granted it was in a tender stage. An American ethnos, born of Teutonic blood and the fires of the frontier, is coagulating. This brief Essay represents my opening salvo in attaining a provisional understanding or definition of an American race or nation, an American ethnos.

I will follow up with individual articles addressing each point of Herodotus” definition in detail.
