Here are some quotes from "The Eleventh Hour" by John Tyndall "For a short time, Britons from all regions of the country and its Empire, and from every social background, came together in a single cause, casting aside all previous political party and class divisions and joined hands in a common comradeship of the trenches. And for the first time in centuries politicians in this country put aside party warfare and joined forces in working for a single goal. A coalition government was formed in 1916 and proceeded to coordinate the whole national life in one mighty endeavor. Laissez-faire Economics were dropped as Britain found that these methods, practiced so long in the years of peace had rendered her industry hopelessly incapable of producing her needs of survival in this titanic conflict. New industries, such as chemicals, machine tools and optics, had to be built practically from scratch, while others, such as electricity, aircraft and aero-engines, had to be greatly expanded, in order to provide the sinews of war; and this was done mainly on the initiative of the state. By the end of the war, tremendous strides had been made in making good these previous shortcomings of industry. What the theoretical stimulus of the "free market" had failed to do for decades beforehand was done in just three years of corporate effort, achieved by firm national leadership directing economic resources, and by the whole nation, and Empire, working as a team." "Could not the super-human efforts displayed on the battlefield in the face of a dangerous adversity now be displayed again in the creation, from out of the rubble of newly born nations?" "Sir Oswald Mosley... had crossed to the Labour benches after despairing of the Tories' ability or will to overcome the evils of poverty and unemployment in post 1918 Britain... In time, however, Mosley came to recognize that in the ranks of Labour, however ideal the ends, there was a total incomprehension of, combined an unwillingness to accept, the necessary means... he said: "This nation has to be mobilized and rallied for a tremendous effort, and who can do that except the government of the day?" In the simplest terms, nationalism is no more than team spirit. Just as the school, the firm the regiment and the rugby team need, each in its own way to be infused with a pride of identity and a desire to win, so must nations, if they are to be effective forces for the furtherance of their own interests and for their survival in the world, be galvanized by the same vital forces." http://www.ihr.org/ http://www.natvan.com http://national-socialist-worldview.blogspot.com
