The Ideal of a Galactic Empire

A Galactic Empire – formed by the conquest of that final frontier which is Outer Space – is the destiny of our human species. This ideal and this ideal alone is great enough and noble enough for our noble, heroic races – everything else is petty, materialistic or decadent: an insult to not only what we are, as creative noble races, but also an insult to what we can become by pursuing an idealistic noble goal. The goal of a Galactic Empire is the supreme challenge which, by its very difficulty, can inspire our races to great and noble achievements. A Galactic Empire means the exploration, conquest and colonization of our own solar system, and other star-systems and planets, by our noble, heroic and warrior races.

Of course, this goal is at present only a dream. The present social and political conditions which exist on this planet as well as the present alien tyranny most people are forced to live under, make this dream seem unrealistic. But what it is vital to understand and remember, is that we need great and noble dreams – a great vision or visions – to inspire us, to motivate us to act. With them, we can aspire to and often achieve greatness; without them, we are just ordinary. Through a noble vision, we can extend ourselves – we can evolve to a higher level; without a noble vision, we merely exist, and waste the potential which is within us. A truely great and noble vision is numinous – it has the power to inspire and so to make real what seems impossible. If we do not accept this challenge of creating a Galactic Empire, then we will be forsaking that unique Destiny which is ours and ours alone – we will be condemning our species to an ignoble future.

Today, there are some who claim that inter-stellar Space Travel will never be feasible because certain scientific ‘theories’ affirm that, for instance, it is impossible to travel faster than or even approach the velocity of light. However, these barriers are only there to be overcome – given the right incentives to overcome them – and no scientific theory, however highly regarded or however verified by past or current experimental data, is immune to new discoveries.

Given the right incentives, and the right social and political conditions, it would be possible to begin the process which would result – over the course of many centuries – in the creation of a Galactic Empire.

The first stage might be to create, here on our own planet, a free, independent, National-Socialist homeland, and in that homeland a society dedicated to the social well-being and advancement of its people. Such a society would seek to inspire its people with a sense of duty as it would seek to foster those qualities which are fundamental to civilization itself – that is, honour and racial idealism. Such a society, by definition, would be a NationalSocialist one, since only National-Socialism truly represents the noble idealism which is the essence of civilization, little though this is understood by the majority today, so brainwashed they are and have been by the lies of the enemies of National-Socialism. Furthermore, a National-Socialist society would encourage the right type of individual – persons of noble, heroic character, imbued with a genuine warrior ethos or spirit: a desire to explore, to conquer, to overcome, to fight, to honourably go where no human has gone before…

The second stage – following the creation of a National-Socialist society whose own security was assured – would be for that society to encourage research into, and the practical exploration of, Outer Space, accepting as that society would the principle that the results which would arise from this research, exploration and colonization, would justify the means (financial and otherwise) which would be required. In the beginning, the greatest benefit of such research, exploration and colonization, would be the noble cohesive effect the pursuit of such an ideal would have upon the people of the society – it would give them a sense of their Destiny, and encourage the production of idealistic men and women dedicated to upholding the warrior ethos. What must be realized is that only a National-Socialist society is capable of fulfilling the dream of Space Exploration, inter-stellar Space Travel, and the colonization of other worlds.

The first practical phase would involve constructing manned Space-stations orbiting the Earth; the second would be manned missions to the Moon, and Mars, and the establishment of permanent colonies. The third phase would be voyages of discovery to the other planets of our solar system. The fourth phase would be the building of such self-sufficient manned ships as would be necessary to undertake the long journeys to the nearest stars. All this would take many decades – and during this time, scientific research would be conducted with a view to discovering an effective means to travel the vast distances between the stars: that is, with a view to building Space-ships which can travel faster than the velocity of light, or with creating some other means of transporting people across inter-stellar space, enabling them to travel to, explore and colonize other planets surrounding other stars.
