The problem with capitalism

As you have probably realised from the title, this post will be about capitalism. Many right wingers, even authoritarians, nationalists et cetera, support capitalism and the free market. However, the truth about capitalism is that, although it has the right ideas (competition, success for the hard worker and the superior one), it has many holes that lead straight to degeneracy.
As we all know, in capitalism, corporations and international businesses try to convince the people that they are poor, creating that way more needs which can be later satisfied by the services of the very same corporations. They are basically trying to make the people try to spend more. This is an extremely dangerous vulnerability of capitalism that if left unfiltered can damage the society. Let us consider this example: western females tend to spend a considerable amount of money on make up, clothes and fashion. Many of these needs are new and haven't existed up until the last century. Corporations like these would get double the money if men were to start spending an equal amount of money on fashion. This is one of the reasons why lately men have been wearing make up, shaving their legs etc. This tendency has blurred the lines between male and female, making it easier for leftists and the N.W.O to spread their propaganda. Think about it, just two months ago all huge online service companies supported the "LGBT month" by changing their logos, releasing videos etc, not really because they care, but because they gain from it. They gain the support and love of the ignorant liberal. They become "trendy" and relatable to the youth etc.
tl;dr Companies care more about their income than their people.
My suggestion is not far from capitalism, in the sense that it has the same core idea: competition, but at the same time has filtered such holes. To you I present: Corporatism. Basically Capitalism with some government intervention to filter out the degeneracy. This system helped Italy and a variation of it is the reason why Nazi Germany was so powerful economically.

The genos

The concept of the genos/yenos (γένος) seems to be a very specific notion, which only exists in Greece, or at least is mostly prevalent there. Whenever our ancestors made sacrifices for our nation, they said they did it for our genos.



  • "Us, the genos of the Rhomans[..]" -Chronicle of Morea, a 14th-century book, written by an unknown author. By "Rhomans/Romans/Rhomhaoi", the author is referring to the Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians of the Imperium Graecorum, the Greeks.
  • "The genos of the Hellenes, if it has survived until today, [...] it owns it to a miracle."-Kazantzakis
  • "The Hellenic genos could prevail if it were politically united."-Aristotle


This word was especially used during the Greek war of independence by Kolokotronis, Rigas Pheraios and others.
From the context, one would assume the word is Greek for "nation". This is incorrect - the Greek word for nation is "ethnos". Instead, genos means race, but it is a more complicated than that. It means common ancestry, and can be used in all scales. For example: oikogenia (also latinized as Oikoyeneia/Ikoyenia, Οικογένεια) literally translates to "house-race" (Oikos = house), and it means "family", while genos itself can mean a whole racial group, or an extended family. Etymologically, the words gene, genetics, etc. are derived from this word.



This word and its usage show how ancestry still plays an important role in the Greek society. Indeed, Greece is one of the few European countries whose citizens believe that common ancestry is just as crucial to becoming a member of the nation, as other factors, such as culture and language. Of course, the people who actually believe that in the country are a minority, but still a lot when compared to other European nations that have been destroyed by degeneracy.

The Megali Idea in theory

Ever since Greece became an autonomous state in the early 19th century, the idea of liberating the rest of the Hellenic homelands has been a major national objective. At the time the vast majority of ethnic Greeks lived outside the borders of our Kingdom. Greeks outside of Greece suffered in the hands of barbarians - mostly Turks & Bulgarians. The atrocities committed by those groups against us and our people have not been forgotten, and will never be.
Here, I will not talk about the Megali Idea as a historical political movement, because it is something that still divides the Greek nationalist community. Instead, I will explain 1) The Megali Idea in theory and 2) Analyze its current importance.


The Megali Idea in theory


The Megali Idea is a Greek nationalist concept that suggests the liberation of all the Hellenic lands that are still within foreign borders. A large part of the Megali Idea has already been achieved through the Balkan wars, but our defeat in the Greco-Turkish war of 1919 has left us, Greek patriots, with our hearts in pain for our lost fatherlands.
The lands included in the Megali Idea are compromised of Western Anatolia (Ionia, Bythinia, Mysia/Aeolis, Caria/Doris), Eastern Rumelia (or Eastern Thrace), the southern Black sea shores (Pontus), the island of Cyprus and Northern Epirus. Other versions also include Cappadocia and more extreme versions even parts of Ukraine, southern Italy, while some even suggest Alexandria. Macedonia, Thessaly, the Ionian & Aegean Islands, Southern Epirus, and south-western Thrace are also included but have already been annexed by Greece. 
In all but a name, the Megali Idea is the notion of a unified Greater Greece. That larger and stronger version of our country would have Constantinople as its capital and ideally only have citizens that are of Greek ancestry.



The Megali Idea today


After the huge and abrupt decline of Greek presence in Anatolia (because of the Greek genocide and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey), the Megali Idea has lost its relevance in the modern Greek nation, at least for the majority of Greeks. There are, however, still places outside Greece that have a majority Greek Christian population. Cyprus is currently the most crucial region of the Megali Idea, with the whole island outside the Greek state, and a chunk of it controlled by our eternal enemy. Northern Epirus is even less talked about despite all the injustices committed constantly by the Albanians against the native Greek population. Southern Italy also has an ethnic Greek population but the matter is completely neglected, which can probably be excused because of the fact that Greek national awareness is quite weak among Greeks there. The neglect of the topic of Northern Epirus, however, cannot be excused. There are still Greeks there, who speak the Greek language, practice the Greek Orthodox faith and are proud of their Hellenic heritage! The recent self-sacrifice of Hellenic ethnomartyr Constantine Katsifas brought the issue into the spotlight for a while but it seems like nothing has changed even a year later.
