We have been working on a new and expanded edition of the Organic Theory of Society. The newer edition has a prologue that lays out OUR views as to how we arrived here, and what here is. The goes into the Theory itself which is primarily about family and what needs to be done to support The Family Group. Then goes into 'What is to be done' in Chapter 4. And then has some appendices of which this is the last but not least. The PDF links at the Blog Posts and Pages for the Theory point to the New PDF but the MP3s and text is dated. Please refer to PDF. Thank You. 193 page pdf clean link. A real Plan that has an actual chance of success. We welcome constructive input and feedback.
Appendix C: Questions
every person who supports the Organic Society should know – a Q and
A to be used as a means to spread the ideas contained here in to
those not yet acquainted with the theory.
Who?
What? When? Where? Why? How? These are the paramount questions.
The
Votives of the Organic Society must be able to answer,” Who? What?
Why? Nations Matter?,”on the fly in a calm and reasonable manner.
We
must have answers to the questions that present themselves to the
task. We must know the questions to ask and the correct answers so
that we can know our purpose, our mission, and understand correctly
the parameters under which we conduct our persons, family,
households, communities, economy, and politics to the best ends of
the Organic Society as a whole and thus to our best interest's as
parts.
The
questions and answers will serve both the learned and ill learned.
For the learned they shall act as a means to educate the ill informed
and keep their own zeal sharp.
For
the ill informed they shall act as a light in the darkness that shall
guide them to understanding and a place of learning, such that they
too can become a candle lighting flames in the darkness spreading the
message of hope to those that had none.
To
the Q and A:
I.
Family:
What
is a family? A family is a Father, Mother and Child who share
a Home, Hearth and Heritage.
Who
makes up a family? The Father, Mother and their children.
Where
does a family live? In a Home.
When
is a family complete? When it passes on its heritage around
its hearth in said home.
Why
do families exist? To continue the kind.
How
does a family fit into society as a whole? It is the model
upon which the rest is to be judged. The well being of the family is
the measure of the whole as the health of the cells is the measure of
the bodies health.
What
are a Father, Mother, And Child? The
Provider, the Preserver, and the Potential of the Family unit.
Home:
What is a home? The Wall about the Family that keeps
their hearth and heritage safe inside, such that child can be
safely keep by the Mother and Father against Nature's ravages.
Hearth:
What is a hearth? It is the place where the meals are
cooked, eaten and the gathering place of the family more
generally. Why is this valuable to a family? It
ensures that affection holds them together such that petty emotional
issues do not divide them against their whole best interests.
Heritage:
What is heritage? It is the
'way of the ancestors' handed down to you from antiquity and hoary
with age. Where does it come? From
the actions of families around hearths generation upon generation.
What
does it do? Provides a basis for
understanding who is in and who is out of the family circle.
It
also provides the basis for the long term continuation of the values
and morals of the family units in society, without
which moral continuity there can be no stable social organic order.
Why
is it important? A
family must have a definite wall around it both emotionally and
physically, and thus the heritage acts as the house to the family's
group mind as it were, ensuring that those out of its embrace are
less trusted than those inside.
II.
People:
What
are a people? A
people are a group of families, who have a commonality of living area
and lifestyles, a shared History and a uniting Culture. The Families
are the unit that makes up the People.
Thus
each people is as unique as the collection of families which make it
up, and will have its own character and traits.
Who
makes up a people? Families acting as parts of
functioning organic communities make up the people.
Where
does a people live? In a community under a
common law, and with a common way of life, united by a binding living
culture.
When
is a people complete? When the families that
comprise it are strong.
Why
do peoples exist? To ensure that each among
the families will have the greatest possible chance at survival in
the world and thus the greatest chance of being of use to themselves,
their families, and the people more generally.
How
does a people relate to the family and society as a whole? The
family is the cell, the Nation-State the people erect are the skin
and mind, the people are the bones, organs and soul of the whole body
politic.
What
is a commonality? It is the product of many
families sharing their heritage and living space over time.
What
is a History? This
is the result of families in a community sharing their experiences
and being bound as one by them.
What
is a Culture? The means a people uses to
express their values and morals in the context of their community's
commonality and history.
I &
II:
Values
of the Family and People:
What
values hold the organic people and family together? These
values are Honesty,
Frugality, Dedication, and Respect.
What
and why: Honesty, Frugality, Dedication, Respect?
Honesty
because it is only when each and trust each others word that a people
can have internal harmony and good will.
Frugality
as a people that is not wasteful will not come to want.
Dedication
as a people that will not give up shall not know defeat.
And
respect as without proper due given to ones elders and leaders there
is no community at all.
III.
Nation:
Who
makes a nation? A unique people, living on a
land with livelihoods.
What
is a nation? It is the means the People use to
defend their internal well being such that each is able to provide
for his family home such that the whole people can be strong.
Why
does this people establish the nation? The
People establish a nation to gather to themselves the fruits of
acting toward the common good and to ensure the commons works toward
their interest in a reciprocal manner.
When
is a nation inside its proper sphere? When it
tends to the whole while not doing harm to the parts.
When
it functions
to ensure each his just place to live, each their price for their
labors, and to each their just due of the life and livelihoods of the
whole people in proportion to their merit.
Where
does a Nation exist? In
the hearts and minds of the People, Communities and Families that
give the Nation animation by the care for it they hold in their
hearts.
What
is Land, Livelihood, and life and why do they matter to who, for
what, when and where? A land is the material
base upon which a people live, the entirety of the resources
available to them from which to produce the things needed for life.
A
livelihood is the means each uses to produce those things needed for
life such that their labor will honestly contribute to the whole and
make their own family strong at the same time.
And
life is the chain that bind the past, the present and the future into
one timeless now that gives to us our sense of our place in the
tapestry of creation.
IV.
State:
Who
forms a state? A people acting
both inside and outside their circle which the state acts to hold
intact.
What
is the purpose? To act as the head to the
popular national body. To
ensure Law Order and Justice inside the organic whole and to ensure
no wrong comes from without.
Upon
what basis is this authority grounded? Upon the
Patriarchal authority of each man over his own home and family.
Is
there any other sound foundation for the state?
No.
When
will the state best do its function in the Organic Society? When
it is founded upon the will of the men as One Sovereign, when the
best of the men are promoted based on
merit and when all have a minimal say in
War, Peace, Tax and all the grand affairs of state that effect each
and every household and community in the state's national domain.
What
are Law, Order and Justice? Why do they matter, to whom, for what,
when, and where? These are the benefits the
state brings to the National Popular whole and they matter to all,
old, young, mother, father and child. They provide for safe homes,
hearths and heritage and ensure the commonality, history and culture
are keep at the center of the People's civic world. They are a
blanket that gives to the land and those in it the ability
to conduct lawful business in freedom and with assurance of just and
fair dealings upon regular rules known to all.
How
does the state communicate its will to the governed?
By means of Law which are the rules under which all must conduct
their deals private and public.
What
does the application of law to the public and the adsorption of it
into the hearts privately do for the popular nation?
Provide order so that life, livelihoods, and land might be best
enjoyed and most advantageously pursued by all.
What
would one call this status of the State providing lawful order?
Justice. Such a state will ensure each his just
place – home – just price – livelihoods – and just due –
law, as a moral duty that lays about mere desire to escape
punishment.
If
the state must choose between profits and Justice which is primary?
Justice as no amount of profits will buy one back honor and honesty
sold for ambition. Justice ensures each has what is due to him and
without this the trust in each other needed to have an organic
society dies.
V:
National-State:
What
is the National State? Who makes up its foundation? The
People acting as earthly sovereign. They do so in one way or another,
which varies from each people to the next, such that their collective
history and culture might be passed on whole and complete, and also
that they might conduct their life's in peace and good order as best
they are able and inclined.
VI:
National-state
Virtues:
What
values hold the organic Nation and state together as one and ensure
they remain one with the People? These are
loyalty, duty, courage, and honor.
What
and why: Loyalty, Duty, Courage, Honor? Loyalty
ensures that each man, women and child will do their duty to their
home, community, and the nation state as best they are able and to
the level required of their station. Duty is the sense that one is
required to serve a greater good than mere self and that this good is
the family, the People and the National-state. Courage is required
such that each might face the particular challenges they are assigned
with a cool mind and a calm heart. And honor ensures that each has a
sense of their place and rank in the greater family of families that
is the National-state.
VII:
Popular
National-State:
Who?
What? Where? When? Why? How? The Popular
National-state is simple the families acting as a people who have
erected the proper nation and state to fit their character and needs,
singularly and as a whole. It can be seen as the fully autonomous
whole as viewed from the outside. Much as the family are the whole
to the National-state who make up the people who then form the
national-state which taken as a whole gives as yet again the Popular
National-state which again is the whole to the parts. The universe
in which the people, family and individual operate in nature and the
whole lens by which they see the events of things.
VIII:
Other
Questions that have No logical place in the above hierarchy of units
in the social economic political order:
Who
shall lead? Leadership is an extension of the father's
authority over his home. Therefore of those fathers those that are
able shall be promoted based upon the basis of 'service is the
greatest duty' with merit and skill being the determining factors,
generally.
Why
would they want to lead? Because leadership is a duty to the
People as a whole, their family as a part and to themselves as a
unity. Those that have the ability have the duty to loyalty and with
courage perform service to the whole folk, this includes leadership
as much as labor or keeping a home. Those that do this duty well
shall be accorded honors and given responsibility to act as the
father acts for his home and family. Leadership is exactly this a
responsibility and not an opportunity.
When
and where shall leaders be chosen how? When they are needed,
at the place chosen by the adult tax paying men of military age, and
by what means these men shall fix by law.
Why
are tax, fatherhood, and call up required for the men to have a vote?
Because if those that vote are not those that
pay, fight and will miss time with their beloved, then those that
vote will become reckless with the treasure, blood, and affairs of
those that give all to defend the whole. Those rooted in the
community with a stack in the outcome must be those that have final
say.
With
this a person now has a reasonable set of answers to many of the
typical questions which will be asked and to what we consider the
core ideas of the Theory of the Organic Society and its practical
operations as envisioned by us.
The
Core Idea is that the Common Good of each Family, Community and thus
the Whole Nation must come before ANY selfish gain, benefit or other
consideration.
