This was a response to Oregon Coug’s post ‘Aryan European Pedagogy’, which as been removed and updated with ‘Towards a Pedagogy of Arya‘.
Whether a given education system is suitable for an Aryanist society can be judged by investigating the assumptions of human behaviour that underlie that system and considering whether or not they describe Aryan characteristics.
We must be especially be careful not to endorse any education system that encourages imitation of nobility, as this will put education in the position of hiding natural ignobility instead of exposing it, whereupon we cease to be Aryanists and become traditionalists (from which the degradation will begin all over again).
(I personally avoid using the word ‘pedagogy’ with a positive connotation. An ancient paedogogus was a slave given the authority to discipline his master’s son, therefore pedagogy refers in essence to slavish tuition, which can only create more slaves. ‘Education’ is more suitable for our movement as it derives from educere = to lead out. We are trying to lead people out of slavery to freedom.)
1) Physical education
We should distinguish between health and fitness. In contrast to the modern tendency to conflate the two concepts, I have previously pointed out that healthy animals and humans require no fitness regime beyond ordinary physical activity to stay healthy, whereas it is a strong sign of unhealth that many humans have to constantly ‘keep fit’ in order to stave off obesity and other conditions. Thus we should recognize fitness as a way to compensate for (and thereby perpetuate) unhealth. I recommend that physical education be grounded in activities with practical applications, as opposed to ‘stand-alone’ sports.
2) Religion
I am worried that dependence is being described as unity. That is one step away from describing slavery as unity, which incidentally is what we believe Zionism to be planning: for Jews to ‘assimilate’ (OC’s term) non-Jews into the anatomy of the Zionist super-organism. This is the exact opposite of what we are supposed to be striving for. In the mythical Golden Age, there was no food chain, but rather sunlight as the sole energy source. This is why the swastika is the spiritual symbol of our movement: it represents non-exploitative unity of all - weak or strong - under the sun.
3) History
I am not sure whether “Eurocentric” is the right word. I think the key task is to separate what is conventionally known as ‘European history’ into Jewish, Gentile (ie. native European) and Aryan strands. While certainly highlighting the barbarism of Jewish ideas, we should not neglect to emphasize that Gentile ideas are no better, but merely barbarism of another type. (The same applies to other continents also; Gentile Asians, Gentile Africans, etc. are just as barbaric as Gentile Europeans, each with variations in style unique to their environment.) Otherwise, there is a danger that the future “European Victory” OC hopes for is a Gentile victory and not an Aryan victory, without even realizing the difference.
4) Literature
There is beyond an abundance of classic material available to be studied, and I think the issue is what to exclude rather than what to include. Since we are not attempting to save the present civilization but to start fresh, I would expect that a process similar to what was done with contemporary art in National Socialist Germany - namely separation into noble and ignoble - be done for classic material also.
5) Vocation
I agree that skills can and should be learned alongside academics.
6) Kampf
I disagree that a few texts need to be especially mandated as sacred; people should be encouraged to revere whatever best inspires nobility in their own lives, without favouritism towards particular traditions. I am glad OC draws inspiration from the Aryan Bible(?), Aeneid, Wagner, etc., but these may not be for everyone.
