Loyalty to what?
I have no parents; The Source is my father; the Earth is my mother.
I have no home; The Community is my home.
I have no divine power; Purity is my Divine Power - "My strength is more than that of ten, because my heart is pure."
I have no means; I make being Humble my means: Wealth is not a measure of how much money you have, but whether or not you can live within your means. If you cannot then you are, obviously, poor. Being humble is: Near the ground; not high or lofty; not pretentious or magnificent; unpretending; unassuming; as, a "humble cottage ."
I have no magic power; I make personality my Magic Power: A good personality gives one power over others that even a "magician" must envy.
I have neither life nor death; I make Awareness my Life and Death: Live in the Now. If you are dead, that means all brain functions have ceased, so you'll never really know it. If you are alive than be aware and savor every moment of it.
I have no body; I make American Socialism my Body.
I have no eyes; I make The Flash of Lightning my eyes: In the forest, in the blackness of night, the split-second illumination of the lightning can reveal the path to the discerning eye. Especially where the memory of the illumination can be held in the mind.
I have no ears; I make Sensibility - the ability to feel and react to existing conditions - my Ears.
I have no limbs; I make Promptitude - quickness of decision and action - my Limbs.
I have no laws; I make self-protection my Law.
I have no strategy; I make survival and continued evolution my Strategy.
I have no designs; I make Seizing the Opportunity of the Moment my Design.
I have no miracles; I make doing the right thing my Miracle.
I have no principles; I make Adaptability to all circumstances my Principle.
I have no tactics; I make Dynamic Action my Tactics.
I have no talent; I make Ready Wit my Talent.
I have no friends; I make my Mind my Friend.
I have no enemy; I make Incautiousness - forgetting or ignoring possible danger - my Enemy.
I have no armor; I make Benevolence (good will) my Armor.
I have no castle; I make Immovable Mind (fanaticism) my Castle.
I have no sword; I make Spirit my Sword.
"To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity."
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
What an odd thing it is to realize that true Honor is nothing more than Loyalty to one's World Outlook (Weltanschauung). We are the nucleus of THE AMERICAN WORKERS PARTY. Our purpose is to create a New Society, dedicated to Freedom, Democracy and Social Justice; and a New Man representing the Perfection of Humanity and Man living in Harmony with the Universe.
The New Society, and the New Man, do not exist in the present moment. If they do it is only as seeds that must be planted and nurtured. Therefore, our loyalty is to the Future! Our purpose is to CAPTURE THE FUTURE!
From whence does the American Socialist concept of Honor arise?
Obviously, from the belief that we shall be VICTORIOUS, and that our world outlook will dominate the world of the Future. Nothing else is of any real importance or value. Honorable means: Noble, high-minded, magnanimous, that we agree in adhering to lofty principles and loftiness of mind or spirit. Noble implies a loftiness of character or spirit that scorns the petty, mean, base, or dishonorable: a noble deed. High-minded implies having elevated principles and consistently adhering to them.
There is no principle as elevated as VICTORY! No Honor higher than LOYALTY!
And, that's the Truth!
