Most of those reading this know by now that the hyper-wealthy parasitic class want to subjugate us into a perpetual slave state, destroy Western nations and homogenize the world into an amoral, soulless corporate technocracy where every aspect of our lives and resource consumption is meticulously tracked. Well, what are we going to do about it?
Academic Agent has outlined 4 possible strategies for dealing with our situation: 1.) Retake the Institutions, 2.) Vote them Out, 3.) Parallelism, and 4.) Clear Them Out. He concludes that ‘Clear them Out’ is the only viable strategy long-term and points out that the strategy does require a degree of parallelism. I agree with his assessment that the options ‘vote them out’ and ‘retake the institutions’ are not feasible. Due to the tendency of revolutionary movements to be subverted by external groups, clearing them out may not necessitate an ultimate win condition, but it would nonetheless push things extremely in our favour. Regardless, the main focus of this article is parallelism. I believe the utmost importance and priority of parallelism cannot be underestimated.
Forgive me for the upcoming video game analogy. When playing a real-time strategy game such as Starcraft, the first step in defeating the opponent is not to immediately obliterate them in a sea of flames. The first step is to is to build up an economy. The economy can then be used to raise an army which can defeat the enemy. Of course, in this example, the overarching strategic goal was not economic – the economy was simply a means to an end. Perhaps parallelism can be thought of in the same way: not the overall strategic goal, but an essential tactic in reaching the strategic goal.
We can’t clear anyone out without a stable food supply. We can’t form successfully form vanguard if we’re freezing in the winter without heating. Power requires control of resources, and parallelism allows us to have a certain degree of control over said resources.
AA points out the semantic difference between a parallel economy and an underground economy. A parallel economy is more insular – akin to the Amish, while an underground economy is more system dependent – akin to selling alcohol during prohibition. Regardless of which definition is more aptly suited, moving our economic activity towards a sort of Covert Parallelism is the first priority against a regime which has proven itself willing to cut off employment and grocery store access based on one’s injection status. Eventually, covertness must be dropped should we wish to be recognized as a legitimate state, but that time only comes once enough power has been acquired to safely do so. Until then, we don’t want to be to brazen and we should always be using the internet wisely with good operations security practices (or better yet, meet in person without cellphones as there is no true privacy on the internet anymore).
Critiques of parallelism include that it is not realistic, not scalable and that the state will not allow any exception within its borders.
With regards to being realistic, it is argued that not enough people will be willing to take the homestead pill to make a significant difference. Well, these unwilling people better have some serious contingency plans and/ or connections with food suppliers in case of SHTF or serious technocratic crackdown. It’s not like we have a much choice in the matter: either we grow our own food or we are subject to the rules, regulations and restraints of those who control the food supply. We need to be willing to rise above our petty feelings about what is and isn’t for us and do whatever is necessary to survive into the future. Additionally, just because homesteading isn’t your main thing, doesn’t mean you can’t grow some food on the side (as was done by homes during the War efforts) and doesn’t mean you can’t execute covert parallelism using other skill sets and then trade or barter for your other essentials.
With regards to scalability, it is certainly true that we won’t be able to get the industrial-level scalability that we see in the commercialized economy, particularly if we want to remain covert. Nonetheless, that shouldn’t discourage us from doing what we can, even if it’s just as our initial tactical step forward rather than our overarching strategy. Italy’s black economy accounts for about 1/3rd of its GDP proving that it is possible to generate a significant economic force through covert parallelism.
This leads onto the next point on state crackdowns. Thankfully, citizens outnumber the so-called elite by several orders of magnitude and therefore the state isn’t able to have absolute supervision over what happens within its borders. The Italian mafia still survives in Italy to this day and the illegal drug industry survives all nations despite state disapproval. Of course, our cause is more moral than this sort of criminal activity, but the point is that the state can only crackdown on what has it has awareness of and means to implicate. The importance of covertness, meeting in person, good internet practices and operations security cannot be overstated.
How to most strategically utilize our resource-base once we have the semblance of a covert parallel economy established is a bridge we can cross once we get there. Charlamagne has some insights to offer in this regard:
“Our primary actions should not be political, but social. Politics in the form of running for office and implementing change is an outdated 20th century concept. Our politics will not take the form of elections, but of favours, commerce and marriage. These connections are the real meat and bones of an organic restructuring of society – not politics. Politics can only be done in a body of people who can form a viable political organism”.
He goes on to say that we don’t even have a real-life body or organic community and instead only have the prototype of a community in digital form. This is putting the cart before the horse. We can’t be political actors before having a coherent organic structure which could form what Hobbes calls a commonwealth.
In conclusion, covert parallelism is not the be-all-and-end-all of ultimate victory over the NWO. Nonetheless, it is a key tactical step forward which must form a significant pillar of any strategy going forward.
