Long Live Death!

Liberals, reactionaries and other full time losers have often scoffed at the NR "greeting" Long Live Death! With this in mind I thought I'd approach someone who knows a bit about Legionary history - as Long Live Death! originated there, later to be embraced by the Falange and certain sections of the Spanish Army during the Spanish Civil War. So, here we go:

The death theme is obviously the main one in everyone's life. The Legion, from its foundation and still today, always considered death in the purely Christian way: the supreme self-sacrifice. The Legionary understanding of death is "giving your life for the Cause and for your Comrades" and not the killing of someone else - as our enemies think of death. The clear example of the Legionary example is shown by the hundreds of thousands of Legionaries who died facing the enemy. In Legionary ritual, in official orders, political manifestoes or in poetry, we can see the Legionary concept of death: "I swear in front of God, In front of your [Mota & Marin's] sacred sacrifice for Christ and for The Legion . . . at any moment, to stand ready to die, I swear!" - exert from the Mota-Marin Oath.

"The death, just the Legionary death,/ Is our most beloved wedding of all weddings" - exert of The Legionary Youth Anthem, by Radu Gyr.

"The permanent self-sacrifice, serving the Nation; the elite idea is strongly linked to the sacrifice idea, the poverty idea, the severe living idea; where the self-sacrifice stops, there stops the Legionary elite." - exert of the Legionary Grades Oath, by Corneliu Codreanu.

Finally, Ion Mota - first after Codreanu in the Legion and Martyr - wrote in his Political Will: "I loved Christ and I happily went to die for Him!"

Let the liberals and morons take note! "Long Live Death!" is not the advocacy of genocide. It is the fraternal salute, the greeting which acknowledges that Revolutionary Nationalists are prepared to sacrifice all in service of their noble cause, unlike the career politicians and corrupt bureaucrats of the political parties whose only interest is flattery and finance. It has been cried over battlefields, pronounced in jails and daubed on walls throughout Europe. Long may it continue to do so!

"Be absolute for death. Either death or life Will thereby be the sweeter. Reason thus with life: If I do lose thee I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep. A breath thou art, Servile to all the skyey influences That do this habitation where thou keep'st Hourly afflict. Merely thou art death's fool; For him thou labour'st by thy flight to shun, and yet runn'st toward him still ... Yet in this life Lie hid moe thousand deaths; yet death we fear That makes these odds all even."

William Shakespeare. Measure for Measure 3.1.5-13, 39-41

-there seems to be a common ideology tha has endured over the years; it's quite a powerful idea. Here a Serbian example:

Beautiful Death

In no country in the world can you hear the people speaking so much about beautiful death as among the Serbian people. Even lately you may have read the message of the Serbian Premier, Mr. Pashich, that the Serbs have decided to fight until the last man, because, he said:’It is better to die in beauty than to live in shame.’ ‘To die in beauty’ – to have ‘a beautiful death’ – that is quite the Serbian spirit of old and modern times. The Serbs in Montenegro sang with passion and envy every heroic death. Such popular songs habitually ended: ‘Happy is he, now and for ever, For he died such a beautiful death.’ As a young Serbian monk, Avakum, was impaled by the Turks, his mother stood below and wept. And the son looked toward her and said: ‘Mother, dear, my thanks for your motherly milk. But do not weep; the Serb is Christ’s follower and enjoys death.’ Another Serbian martyr said to his torturers: ‘My pain is only for a short time, but your shame is for ever. I am going to the place where I can despise your life. Sweet is to be dead without you, as it is bitter to live with you.’

Not to fear death was the most-recommended dogma of Serbian conduct of life for centuries. ‘Fear very often dishonours life,’ said a great Serbian prince from Montenegro.

Life is not worth so much that honour may be sacrificed for it. Life in slavery is uglier than death. A beautiful death seems sometimes to be the very aim of life. It is considered as a bath for all the impurities of a sinful life. I remember a Serbian officer whose life was lax and impure. In the battle on the Drina he died a hero’s death, and at once the whole of his life was transfigured in the eyes of all the people. His life was dignified and ennobled by his death. The shadows vanished and the light was exaggerated. That has always, and for everybody, the same great effect – I mean a beautiful death.

Very good comments. For me the basis of the folkish spirit is the realization that one's existance is meanful to the extent that one realizes the obligations of birth with the Nation Organic and sacrifice himself for those that created him and those he will create. The Midhvingas and Soga Friðrik covered that matter quite well with the famous quote "For how can a man die better than facing fearful odds. For the ashes of his fathers, the noblity of his nation and the temples of his gods? How can one have more worthless existance then one driven by comfort, fashion, gut and groin?" Those that truely do care act on behalf of their beleifs while the corupt expect history and the efforts of others to conform to their wishes.
