Editors Note
Irmin Vinson is the pen name of a thought criminal who wishes to remain as mysterious as Homer or Shakespeare. I know him only from his work. This collection of his essays is drawn from his website Irminsuls Racial Nationalist Library (http://library.flawlesslogic.com/) as well as the now defunct National Vanguard webzine.
The Racial Nationalist Library first went online in 1999. I discovered it sometime in 2000, and it played an important role in my education as a White Nationalist. It was not a quick journey. There was no sudden and dramatic conversion experience. Instead, it was a long process of reading and discussion (with two friends) that began in January of 1999 and has never really stopped. I am an intellectual, after all. I had to square White Nationalism with my reason, my conscience, and my general aesthetic sensibility. It had to be true, good, and beautiful. I never set foot in a public gathering until I attended a lecture by David Irving on Labor Day of 2000.
Part of my hesitation to take my journey into the real world was the establishments carefully crafted image of White Nationalists as an unsavory collection of cranks and kooks. I knew this was not entirely true, of course, because I had ample written evidence to the contrary (Kevin MacDonalds The Culture of Critique , for instance). But, unfortunately, much of what I encountered online tended to confirm the negative stereotypes.
This is why I found the Racial Nationalist Library so impressive. Everything about the sitefrom its elegant design and well-chosen illustrations to its highbrow but hard-hitting contentquieted my qualms, allowing me to fully open my mind to the assembled texts, which methodically demonstrated that White Nationalism is a worldview consistent with reason, morality, and good taste. White Nationalism is not marginal by nature. Instead, it is the legitimate heirand the only possible continuationof the best of the Western intellectual and political tradition. White Nationalism has merely been marginalized and stigmatized by our Jewish-dominated political and intellectual establishment, which has instituted the truly aberrant reign of multiculturalism to slowly exterminate our race.
The Racial Nationalist Library was one of the primary inspirations for the Counter-Currents/ North American New Right webzine. Thus it was only natural to reprint its articles from time to time, to bring them to new audiences. On April 20, 2011, we reprinted Irmins Some Thoughts on Hitler. It became wildly popular and is by far the most widely-read article on our site. Apparently, Irmins ability to express radically un-PC ideas with calm, clarity, and careful logic has struck a chord. Hence the decision to assemble this collection in search of still wider audiences.
I want to thank Irmin Vinson for his permission to publish this collection and his help in assembling and editing it. Special thanks are due Kevin MacDonald for his Foreword. I also wish to thank Matthew Peters for his meticulous proofreading, Kevin Slaughter for designing the cover, Michael Polignano for preparing the manuscript for the Library of Congress cataloguing process, the Savitri Devi Archive for permission to use the cover photograph, and Kerry Bolton and Mark Weber for their publicity blurbs.

Foreword
Kevin MacDonald
Irmin Vinson is a very talented writer who deserves a wide audience. This is an excellent collection of essays by someone who has thought long and hard about the threats to our people and our culture.
As Mr. Vinson notes in the title essay, National Socialism was indeed an attempt to secure the ethnic interests of the German people, just as Judaism and Israel are attempts to secure the ethnic interests of Jews. It is certainly not necessary to defend all aspects of National Socialism in order to defend the idea that Whites have legitimate ethnic interests, as much as our enemies try to link White identity with National Socialism. As he notes, the opposite of National Socialism is globalism and multiculturalisman ideal that Jews advocate only in the Diaspora in the West while vigorously opposing it as a model for Israel.
We should not shrink from these comparisons, especially in the light of modern evidence clearly showing the biological roots of race. Races are indeed extended families with an interest in long term survival. There are also well-documented race differences in traits critical for the success of complex contemporary societies. These race differences are on display in this collection, particularly in Vinsons essay on Africa where he notes Black inability to create productive economies or any semblance of democratic government.
These essays are invariably well thought out and well-grounded in empirical data. His essay on the Indo-Europeans quite rightly emphasizes the contribution of the primordial peoples of Europe prior to the Indo-European invasions of the 4th millennium B.C. Whereas the other areas dominated by Indo-Europeans quickly reverted to the collectivist cultural tendencies typical of the rest of the world, only Europe produced a distinctive culture of individualism with all that that entails in terms of political culture: tendencies that ultimately resulted in individual rights against the state and republican political cultures with deep roots in Western history going back to the ancient world. Any adequate theory of Western uniqueness must include the influence of the primordial cultures of Europe that existed prior to the Indo-European invasions.
Vinsons comments on the Holocaust emphasize the image of the Holocaust as a creation of Jewish intellectuals with access to the media and as an instrument of Jewish political power not only in defense of Israel but as a weapon against White interests. Indeed, the Holocaust is the ultimate moral justification for multiculturalism and massive non-White immigration. As he writes If the Holocaust is... the Jewish collective memory of World War II, then we who are not Jews are in effect thinking about our past with someone elses memory, seeing both the past and its implications for the present through Jewish eyes rather than through our own.
I was unaware of Arthur Millers novel Focus , published in 1945 . It is quite clearly a classic work of Jewish ethnic activism by someone who was well-connected to the halls of literary power and therefore able to influence popular opinion. The book is a good example of Jewish hostility toward the people and culture of the West. Its subtext is the Jewish alliance with non-Whites that would become the Jewish postwar strategywhich is apparent, for example, in the powerful Jewish support for Black interests.
