Der Führer

by Joseph Goebbels



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A leader must possess character, will, ability and luck. If these four
characteristics form a harmonious unity in a brilliant person, we have a
man called by history.

Character is the most significant factor. Knowledge, book learning,
experience and practice do more harm than good if they are not based on
strong character. Character brings them to their best expression. It
requires courage, endurance, energy and consistency. Courage gives a person
not only the ability to recognize what is right, but also to say and do it.
Endurance gives him the ability to pursue the chosen goal, even if
apparently impossible obstacles stand in the way, and to proclaim it even
if it is unpopular, even if it makes him unpopular. Energy mobilizes the
strength to risk everything for the goal and the persistence to keep at it.
Consistency gives his eye and mind the sharpness of knowledge and logic in
thought and action that gives truly great people the ability to reach the
eternally wavering masses. These manly virtues together comprise that which
we call character. Character, in short, is style and behavior in the
highest form.

Will raises character from the individualistic to the universal. Will makes
the man of character into a political man. Any man of significance wants
something, and indeed is ready to use every means to attain his end. The
will distinguishes the man who acts from the man who merely thinks. It is
the intermediary between knowledge and action. It is much more important
for us to want that which is right than it is simply to know what is right.
This is particularly true in politics. What good is it for me to know the
enemy if I do not have the will to destroy him! Many know why Germany has
collapsed, but few have the will to end its misfortunes. What distinguishes
he who is called to leadership from all the rest is this: He not only has
the will to want, but also the want to will.

But in politics is is also important not only what one wants, but what one
accomplishes. This leads us to the third characteristic of the able
political person: ability. Progress requires accomplishment. Leadership
means to want something, and to be able to show the way to realize what one
wants. History judges by what has been done. We Germans need to realize
that. Politics is a public affair, and one cannot apply the laws of private
matters to public matters. We Germans often tend to confuse the the desire
for something with the ability to do it, and to forgive the incompetent who
says that he wanted good and proper things. "We have not brought about
socialism," say the November Marxists, "but at least we wanted to." That is
irrelevant, just as we do not care if someone wants to play the violin. He
must be able in fact to do so. He who wants to rescue a people must above
all have the necessary ability.

Character, will and ability, the three prerequisites to leadership, show
themselves in capable people. They are either there, or they are not there.
The fourth characteristic binds the other three together: luck. The leader
must have luck. He must have a blessed hand. One must be able to see that
all his actions stand under the protection of a higher power. A leader can
lack everything save luck. That is irreplaceable.

The masses do not oppose leaders. They do instinctively oppose usurpers who
claim power without having the necessary will and ability. The leader is
hardly an enemy of the masses. He shuns only the cheap tricks of mass
flattery that feed the people with phrases rather than bread.

The leader must be able to do everything. That does not mean that he
understands all the details, but he must know the basics. There are other
helpful people who can keep the wheels of politics spinning.

The art of organization is one of the most important factors in the
capabilities of political leaders. Organization means rightly assigning
work and responsibility. The leader is the master in the clockwork of an
intricate political machine.

Today we celebrate Adolf Hitler's 40th birthday. We believe that fate has
called him to show the German people the way. We greet him with honor and
devotion, and wish only that he be preserved for us until his work is
finished.

Thus proving where he is on the political spectrum.

This is in response to a troll with the handle Bertie.
I don't change the subject so if you've already
killfiled it you miss this. I don't change the list
of newsgroups because Bertie has chosen it.

He has elected to spend many years trolling many
newsgroups. Bertie isn't just a regular troll,
he's spent years attacking alt.religion.asatru
hurling personal insults and false accusations. The
usual tactic of ignoring him was tried years ago and
it failed unfortunately. Ignored or not he continues
to spew his vemon. He has done so using several
accounts, too. Here's one. A glance at the number of
postings shows that he is obsessive and paraniod:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...:A%40a.aaaaaa+

It is said that while you can't learn everything about
a person by who their friends and enemies are, you can
learn much by the quality of their friends and even
more by the quality of their enemies.

Bertie is the enemy of Asatru and he choses to spend
year after year in verbal abuse and polluting much of
UseNet. He's the worst the the online community has
to offer, yet he opposes Asatru. In a way, his poor
quality combined with his opposition is a great
complement to Asatru.

Thanks for the complement, Bertie.

Bertie has spent year after dreary year attacking Asatru
and including as many other newsgroups in his pollution
as he cares to. In the vulgarity of his opposition he
complements Asatru.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, eh Bertie?

Noo, of course not.


What, you draw short straw to try and put me off this month?


Bwawhahwhahw!

Hey Djirkie, do yourself a favor and pick one with a triple digit IQ next
time, eh?
