Reasons to Admire North Korea

Yes, I am a white racialist, and I admire North Korea. Let me explain.

North Korea—Not Communist

 
North Korea is not communist, plain and simple. Juche, the official state ideology of North Korea, can be roughly translated as “spirit of self-reliance.” Kim Jong Il, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, said the basis of Juche is the idea that “man is the master of everything and decides everything” [1]. Juche can also be understood as “always putting Korean things first.”[2] This is obviously more nationalist than communist. In 2009 North Korea officially stopped using the term communism to describe itself and removed it from the constitution. Additionally, they inserted the term “Songun” into the constitution, which emphasizes the powerful position of the North Korean military in the government, and posits that it is model for society to emulate.

Militarism—Required for Independence


The most common criticism of North Korea is that it spends a huge amount on its military while its people starve.  The US government estimates that North Korea spends roughly a quarter of its GNP on the military.[3] This puts North Korea at the top of the list for proportional military spending. What people don’t seem to understand is that North Korea’s radical autarkist ideology—in other words, its refusal to bow to the international financial order (putting Korea first)—absolutely requires that national defense be put first. Without a powerful military North Korea could not exist. So yes, North Korea accepts what little aid it can get and has struggled to adequately feed some portions of its population, but that is the price of independence for them, and they are willing to pay it—and for that alone the North Koreans get my respect. Whatever you can say about the North Koreans, you cannot say they are weak. Their will is strong, and they seem willing to die to maintain their independence.

Another misconception is that North Korea is a puppet state somehow controlled by China. Although historically China had great influence on North Korea, the relationship has been strained in recent decades, and North Korea has made it clear that it is no puppet state. China continues to be North Korea’s sole ally because of lucrative trade,[4] historic friendship, and the fact that North Korea, were it desperate enough, could be very problematic for China. There is no doubt that China enjoys some influence, but North Korea remains a firmly independent nation.  If this isn’t made clear enough by their ultra-nationalism, their ethnocentrism surely drives it home.

North Korea—Racist?


According to B. R. Myers, the North Korean ideology maintains that “the Korean people are too pure-blooded, and so too virtuous to survive in this evil world without a great parental leader.”[5] He also asserts that in addition to feeling that foreign races are inferior, the North Korean government “occasionally criticizes the Jews’ influence on world affairs.”[6] Following in the footsteps of hyper-nationalist movements of the past, the North Korean government has established the belief that its people are uniquely intelligent, strong-willed, and superior in many ways to foreign races. The Japanese (their close racial cousins), had very similar beliefs before being defeated in the Second World War. Myers actually believes the Koreans adopted their racial beliefs from the “fascist Japanese” during Japan’s occupation of Korea. Regardless of their claims of superiority, or from whom they might have borrowed it, the average North Korean IQ of 105 is one of the highest in the world.[7] South Korea is reported to have an average IQ one point higher, at 106, which is almost certainly due to the population having greater access to resources. Keep in mind the severe sanctions North Korea is operating under.

While I don’t agree with the extent of the state-control of the economy in North Korea (i.e. controlling consumption), I certainly have no loyalty to the capitalist system, which I see as racially corrosive, among other things. And let us not forget the whole reason the United States got involved in the Korean civil war was to defend (or impose) capitalism and by extension the ruling international financial order.

Essentially I admire North Korea because it is in direct opposition to the hostile ruling elite in the West and the globalist destruction of distinct peoples and nations. North Korea is the only ethno-nationalist state opposing the current world order, and as long as it exists, it will stand as an example (and a possible future ally) for ethnic and racial nationalists everywhere, especially those of us in the West who see the only hope for our people in the destruction of the current world order.

Miguel Serrano
Maya: Reality is an Illusion
Santiago: Ediciones La Nueva Edad, 2006

Miguel Serrano (1917–2009), a former Chilean diplomat, writer, poet, explorer, mystic, and one of two pioneers of Esoteric Hitlerism,[1] has, until recently, been relatively unknown in the English-speaking world. Despite the fact that a number of his books (nine by my count) have been translated into English for many years, he has had only a small following of dedicated individuals.

In recent years, however, interest in Serrano and his Esoteric Hitlerist beliefs has increased considerably. His thousand-page Esoteric Hitlerist trilogy—The Golden Thread: Esoteric Hitlerism, Adolf Hitler, the Last Avatar, and Manu: “For the Man Yet to Come”—is finally being translated into English as I write. The English-speaking world will probably have to wait until Serrano’s four-volume autobiography, Memoirs of He and I, is translated into English before we can expect to have adequate information about his life, personality, and intellectual development.

Anglophone readers do not, however, need to wait for these translations to sample the ideas of Serrano’s Trilogy. His books The Ultimate Flower, El/Ella, and Nos, Book of Resurrection (my personal favorite) address Esoteric Hitlerism in an indirect,[2] poetic, and philosophical manner. Furthermore, near the end of his life, Serrano published two essays in English that deal with the themes of the Trilogy: Maya: Reality is an Illusion and The Son of the Widower. They can be obtained only from the official distributer of Miguel Serrano’s books EB Libros, located in Chile.

Maya: Reality is an Illusion starts with speculations on the fate of Martin Bormann, the Secretary General of the National Socialist Party, after his escape from Hitler’s bunker in Berlin. An interesting topic itself, it is made infinitely more fascinating when it turns into a first person account of Serrano’s meeting with former head of Counterespionage of the Austrian SS, Wilhelm Landig, and ends at a dimly lit kiosk in the company of the President of the “New Templars” of Austria and one of Hitler’s former secret weapons engineers.

Other topics covered in this book include Rudolf Hess, “duplication,” Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, the Archetype, the Avatara, Maya and even an appendix on Hollow Earth.

Being just shy of 40 pages and including many pictures, this booklet is not meant to give a full and detailed explanation of the basis of Esoteric Hitlerism. It is less an introduction than a postscript, giving further information on a few important topics, building on the firm foundation Serrano has laid out in his many other books.

The brevity in Maya: Reality is an Illusion is, however, made up for in richness of content, including reproduced and photocopied letters. I would, however, only recommend this book to those who are familiar with at least a few of Serrano’s other books, and ideally to those well-versed. One reason he says so much in so few words is that he presumes the reader’s understanding of certain concepts he has developed in his other books.

All things considered, Maya: Reality is an Illusion is a must read for those interested in Serrano’s Esoteric Hitlerism.

Notes

 [1] Savitri Devi is the other pioneer of Esoteric Hitlerism. Contrary to some misinformation, both Serrano and Savitri Devi fully formulated their Esoteric Hitlerist beliefs separately. It was not until years later that they became aware of each other’s work and entered into dialog. Both maintained favorable opinions of the other.

[2] Esoteric Hitlerism and the Path of A-Mor are in most cases synonyms; the main difference is that Esoteric Hitlerism is more specific to our time. The Path of A-Mor could be considered more general. The definition Serrano gives of A-Mor in The Dictionary of Initiation of A-Mor, in the back of Nos, Book of Resurrection is as follows:

Amor is made of a = without mor = death. It means Without-Death, eternal life, resurrection, immortality. It was the initiatory doctrine of the troubadours, the Minnesänger and the Fedele d’Amore. It was a kind of tantrism, a magic love which came from the original homeland and was taught in Hyperborea by the priestesses of A-Mor such as Allouine.
